Above All Things: The Tale of the King (The Commandments)

Life is peaceful for the old woodcutter, his wife, and their grandson in the small village at the foot of the purple mountains. However, on one momentous day, their peace is broken by a shadowy threat. The boy must go on a dangerous quest to seek out the king, for only the king can save them. But the boy must remember what his grandfather has taught him: He must fear, love, and trust in the king above all things.

Christine Elliott Rivers is a pastor’s kid. She grew up with amazing parents who read her and her siblings Bible stories every night for her entire childhood. Her favorite childhood memory was reading The Chronicles of Narnia with her parents and siblings.

Christine is now a teacher at a classical Lutheran school where she teaches 4th grade as well as dual credit English courses for high school students. For years, she hoped and prayed that someone would write books for her students, and last year, a dear friend suggested that perhaps she should write them herself. Now, she is writing a series of ten fairy tales!

When she is not reading, writing, or teaching, Christine is drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee, antiquing, or off on quests and adventures with her wonderful husband Matt, their three children, and their dog, Remy.
