Are you a parent who wants to communicate important life and character lessons to the hearts of your children?
Are you a teacher looking for the secret to getting your teaching from your children’s short-term memory into their long-term memory?
Do you want to reach the hearts of those you are teaching?
I believe stories change hearts.
What if you could send your teaching straight into your child’s long-term memory?
What if you could use the Master Teacher’s method to reach the hearts of those you are teaching?
That is why I write exciting read-aloud stories.
Hello, I’m Alan W. Harris.
I am a retired veterinarian and a home-schooling father of six. I first wrote The Tales of Larkin to read to my own children. Because our family was so blessed by the discussions that followed each family read-aloud time, my wife Valerie and I decided that we wanted to do more than just share these character-building stories with others. We wanted to give parents and teachers a discussion guide for each book with questions about the important spiritual and character lessons in the stories.
“Tell me a fact and I’ll learn.
Tell me the truth and I’ll believe.
But tell me a story
and it will live in my heart forever.”

Oliver J. Meeks, God’s Covert Operative
Oliver J. Meeks was raised in a Christian home but darkness seemed to follow him. His older brother, a committed follower of Jesus had died a martyr’s death saving his family and others and that guilt weighed heavily on O.J. Even after Oliver became a true follower of Jesus he constantly felt the need to prove that he was as good as his brother and worth his brother’s sacrifice. Being a part of the Christian underground and working to foil the godless plots of the wicked government only fueled O.J.’s desire to prove his worth.
As Oliver and his team discover that Christians are being arrested but are mysteriously disappearing, O.J. and his friends find themselves being pulled deeper into a very dangerous mystery that threatens to destroy everything and everyone they care for.

When you read good books aloud to your family, you are instilling good character and love for God while bonding as a family. You are using thrilling adventure stories as tools for heart change. And you’re using an exciting teaching technique that’s as old as the Bible.
