History is a series of stories, and who doesn't love a good story? Written in the Past: Seeing God Throughout History will introduce the reader to people who lived before us and the issues they faced. Some of the characters are well known to us, but others are not. We can learn from their struggles and heartaches, as well as their victories.

Through vivid storytelling, Creedon introduces readers to soldiers, kings, missionaries, ordinary believers, and forgotten heroes. From ancient Scripture to modern history—from battlefields to prison camps—each account reveals courage, failure, forgiveness, faith, and redemption. These stories invite readers to ask a timeless question: What would I have done in their place?

Drawing on her experience as a museum curator and lifelong student of history, Creedon connects historical events with spiritual lessons that still speak to our lives today. Each chapter pairs a compelling historical narrative with insights from the Bible, reminding readers that God’s love and guidance have never left humanity’s story.

Inspiring and thought-provoking, Written in the Past shows that the past is not merely something to study—it is something from which we can learn hope, faith, and perseverance for our own journey.
