The Remembering Stone – A Journey of Creation, Mystery and Choice. Inspired by the First Ten Chapters of Genesis

It all begins with an ordinary question over a plate of cold peas: “How did everything get here?”

When an old grandfather clock opens a mysterious doorway during a thunderstorm, eleven-year-old Elliot Bell and his younger sister, Rose, are drawn into an extraordinary adventure through time. Plunged into the darkness before the first morning, the siblings witness the grand, sweeping story of Genesis unfold firsthand.

Guided by the patient voice of Abba and accompanied by a dry-witted tortoise named Tov, Elliot and Rose travel from the birth of creation and the beauty of Eden to the subtle deceptions of the Crooked One and the building of the Ark. Along the way, golden words form across a special stone—CREATED, GOOD, IMAGE, TRUST, MERCY, and REMEMBERED—helping them learn how to discern truth and anchor their hearts in love and, finally, the PROMISE.

Imaginative, humorous, and deeply grounded, David O. Harrison’s The Remembering Stone takes inspiration from the first ten chapters of Genesis to invite young readers and parents into life’s biggest questions about creation, choice, and grace.
