"I don't suppose you have a friend who is a warthog. You probably don't have a friend who is a professional detective, either. So it's very unlikely that you have a friend who's both. But I do." So begins the adventures of Bill the Warthog and his friend Nick Sayga as they piece together neighborhood mysteries and reveal Bible lessons in each case. Buckle up for a wild ride!
Bring out your inner super-sleuth with Bill the Warthog in Quest for the Temple of Truth, the fourth book in this exciting mystery series! Crack open 10 different creative cases while exploring important Bible lessons in each edge-of-your-seat book!
Lazy older brothers, big game poachers, and fast-talking clerks don't stand a chance with Bill on the case. The dirt flies as Bill and Nick uncover lies, stolen dog biscuits, and hidden pirate gold! Put your detective skills to the test with these hilarious, fast-paced whodunits. Each mystery's solution will have you seeing Jesus's parables in a whole new way!
Meet Bill the Warthog, the best (and only) warthog detective in the world! He's not your average warthog: he wears dress shoes on his hind feet, dress pants, a pressed white shirt, tie, and a long trench coat. Oh, and did we mention he always wears a fedora hat? With a great nose for mysteries (and delicious bugs!), not a lot gets past Bill, but it's OK: he's one of the good guys! Join Bill on his quest to solve persnickety puzzles, crush kid-sized crimes, and thwart threatening thieves.

Tell us a little about yourself. My personal best for stuffing marshmallows into my mouth is 23. (Full sized marshmallows, not the mini ones.)
What was your motivation behind this project? When I submitted the first Bill book, the company asked for four more to go with the first. It was exciting to get to explore more about Bill but even more exciting to find biblical topics to cover.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope they will come out knowing some of Jesus' parables. And want to go to the Gospels to read more.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? This was the first time I had to deal with the National Association of Mystery Editors. They noticed that these were not original stories, but that the story outlines were taken from Jesus' stories. There are some tough cookies in that group and I wasn't about to cross them when they asked me to point to the original sources of the stories.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Got to give a shout out here to Dave Carleson who had illustrated all the Bill books. He has done a fantastic job every time. I especially like his Indy salute on the cover of "Quest for the Temple of Truth".
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: If you're a fan of Bill's, I'm a fan of yours!
