About Author B. Niles
B. Niles has been ministering to youth and children for over 25 years. She started serving as a summer camp counselor at 18 years old and became a youth pastor at 19. Her heart for children grew as she served as a home missionary to refugee children and families from around the world; developed outreach programs for low-income families in conjunction with a local Youth Services Department; and created a youth entrepreneurial, training, and internship program that afforded teens opportunities in the marketplace. Remembering Jesus’ words, “Let the little children come unto me,” her desire is that they see Jesus’ love extended through her. She admits that she often fails, but that doesn’t stop her from trying. Above all, Jesus Christ is the epicenter of her life. As such, the creation of Carl the Sea Turtle’s Journey to Truth has been a labor of love both for Him and for children.
B. Niles, a transplant from the island of Trinidad, lives in rural Maryland. She is the author of Celebrating Men and its Companion: Group Discussion Guide. Previously employed by Bethany House Publishers, she is thrilled about her return to the world of publishing, and her role in the development of the Journey to Truth children’s series.
