Every story, told the way a grandfather would

Tiny Pilgrims began with a simple wish: to tell children the Bible's greatest stories the way a wise old grandfather would at the end of the day. Slowly. Warmly. With time to wonder.

So Grandpa Silas writes every story to be read in a few quiet minutes, in words a little one understands, ending calm and safe on a Goodnight Prayer. Faith, told gently enough for bedtime.
