A graduate of Abilene Christian University and Texas A&M Commerce, Phyllis Ryser is a lifelong Bible student and teacher. She uses real and fictional characters to tell how the story could have been. Her personal studies and research into differing cultures including travels to Israel, El Salvador, Germany, Greece, among others, has provided her with insights on how ancient people lived and worked.

Phyllis lives in Northeast Texas with her awesome husband, Wayne who is a farmer. She can often be seen standing in front of her easel staring into the sky attempting to capture its changing moods in oil paint. Painting outdoors is her other passion besides spending time with her family and writing books.
