Once Upon Unmeasured Time ponders the story of Genesis 1 and our spiritual connection with the Creation. The book is intended to be a study book for readers, ages 9 through 12.

Once Upon Unmeasured Time travels back to a time in human history when no one had a clock, no one had a calendar, and no one had a watch! The storyline follows the first timekeepers on their journey into measured time. The struggle to solve the timekeeping riddle provides a fascinating prequel to the story of Creation and the opening words of the Hebrew Bible.
When seen through the eyes of a child, Genesis 1 holds the key to some of humanity’s deepest spiritual lessons. What can be gained by considering the story behind the story of Creation? What may have led to the writing of Genesis 1? Will the phrase, “Let there be light,” take on new meaning as kids are encouraged to think about the colors in Creation? How did the image of the rainbow influence the writing of this ancient story? What can our present understanding of the visible spectrum of light teach us? Why did God ask humans to see the green plants as food? Did the ancient biblical writers understand a deep, spiritual secret about purple light that has been lost over time?
The following is an excerpt taken from the opening poem in the book.
