Pauline Shone's books

When Pauline Shone came to faith, the door closed on her career as an art designer and sculptor. (See some samples of her art work below.) However, after attending Bible College, another door opened to live and work in Israel. Pauline also began a writing ministry and on returning to England produced books for children, teens, and adults. Latterly she has worked as a volunteer with Bridges for Peace Jerusalem and Succat Hallel Prayer and Worship Center in Jerusalem. Pauline has a son and a daughter, as well as four grandchildren.

Pauline had many experiences while living in Israel. One was a wild ride on a camel:

Pauline writes about these photos: After about a 3/4 hour trip on the camels, our mission team returned to the camel's compound. My camel spotted its lunch, way over on the far side of the compound, and ran (with me on its back) to eat it. The rest of the team had dismounted and were gasping in astonishment to see me speeding away on a camel!! Well, it was like being aboard a ship in a storm, but I stayed on!

After feeding, the camel was led back by one of the guides. Then it kindly posed while I took this photo.

A few excerpts of endorsements/reviews of Pauline's books:

ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS: "I warmly recommend this book...." "...helpful and inspiring...."

LAMB OF GOD; "... a highly valued introductory resource...." "...amplifies as well as clarifies...."

IN THE BEGINNING: "... Pauline is a gifted author, putting pictures into words and words into pictures. My daughter just loves her books and it thrills me to see children excited about the Word of God." "This book shows God’s holiness and mercy, right from the beginning."

ABRAHAM, FATHER OF THE NATIONS: "... the book made me feel like I was walking alongside Abraham on his profound faith journey. You captured the real struggles, hardships, and waiting so vividly.... The illustrations ... bring the story to life in such a vivid way, making the ancient events feel immediate and relatable, especially for children."

KING OF THE JEWS: "It's a magnificent and heartfelt illustration of Jesus from a deeply Jewish perspective, beautifully weaving together the significance of Passover and the powerful events surrounding the Triumphal Entry. ... and the artwork adds so much warmth, color, and emotion to the narrative."

Following are Pauline's many books, some of which were published with Olive Press Publisher before Olive Shoots was created. All the children's books except God Made You and God Loves You are Bible stories. Two of the books are written for adults: Lamb of God and Israel and the Nations.
