Step into a world of adventure, thrills, and fantasy with my Christian historical fiction stories!
​
As someone who has always been passionate about telling Bible stories to children, I am excited to share with you, my new audience.
​
Each chapter begins with a Scripture verse (KJV) that parallels the story. In my first book, The Warehouse, I also sprinkled hymns throughout the story that match the characters’ emotions.
​
My stories are set in historical times and places and feature thrills, adventure, a bit of whimsy, and clean romance that will leave you feeling inspired.

My name is Joyce Burton Crawford. I am what some may call a "cradle Christian," having grown up in church as soon as the doctor gave his nod. I was surrounded by two generations of God-fearing family and taught to worship and love God, The Trinity.
When I was four years old, Granny B. taught me my first Bible verse: Isaiah 56:3 "What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee."
And, my maternal grandmother taught me numerous hymns even before I could read. She would stand me on a chair so everyone could see me, and I sang to the Lord.

Welcome!
Let's be friends.
A Memorable Moment
One of my most memorable quotes was when I was teaching Bible stories in children's church. One little girl jumped up from her seat on the story time rug and announced, "Wait! Wait! I have to go to the potty and I don's want to miss a thing."
I hope I can give you the same experience with my Christian historical fiction novels.
Wishing you God's blessings and love, I am,
Joyce Crawford
