Get set for adventure as Eric and Susan discover exciting truths about God's love. Discover that sea shells, sea stars, and fish do more than slither, crawl, and swish. They teach you about a God that loves you.

When a terrible accident takes the life of their mother, Eric and Susan are sent to California to live with Aunt Sally in her house by the sea.

They have lots of questions. Will we fit in here in California? Why did Mother have to die? Does God really care about us?

Together, they spend many hours with Aunt Sally, in and around the ocean. Soon, Eric and Susan begin to make new friends and discover answers to their questions.

Treasures by the Sea is the first in a series of Christian stories that help children understand the core beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Bible. Using her real life adventures in and around the Pacific Ocean, the author weaves lessons from nature and the Bible to help children understand God's messages of love for them.

From the Bible, you will discover answers to questions like:

What happens when you die?
What does the Bible say about forgiveness?
How can I have victory over sin?
How can I accept Jesus into my heart?
How can I have strong faith.
How do I understand what the Bible says?
How do I know Jesus is coming again?
What special gifts has God given to everyone?

From nature, you will learn lessons taught by:

An abalone shell that clings to the rocks.
Seagulls that swallow fish hooks.
Moon snails that drill holes in their prey.
A fish that leaps onto the beach.
Brittle stars that drop their arms.
Cowrie shells that paint their own shells.

Treasures by the Sea was originally published as a serial story by Guide Magazine under the title The Key in the Lock, and then in book form by Pacific Press.

The stories of Eric and Susan have been enjoyed by thousands of children around the world.

Other books in the series, Summer of the Sharks, Octopus Encounter, and the soon to be published, Intruder, continue pointing young readers to the Bible and nature and the hidden messages written there by the Creator.
