The Story of Glops
a Christian historical fiction book series for children and youth
In the early days of the world’s creation, God made the animals, and also little creatures known as ‘glops.’ Glops were imaginary and practically invisible. At first, glops lived in the Garden of Eden. As the world changed, so did the glops. They learned to overcome prejudices and fears.
Going anywhere was hard for glops, because they slowly oozed to move. Then, they heard that they had to get to Noah’s Ark before the Great Flood.
Some glops wanted to stay put. Others wanted Noah to come get them. A few glops were willing to do whatever it would take to get to the Ark in time. Would they make it?
Read The Story of Glops to find out what happened.
Many have asked how the idea of the glops came about. Elayne’s older sister needed help with a college assignment. Elayne, 14 years old at the time, helped her sister by quickly writing a short story about a funny, inquisitive little creature.
About twenty-five years later, Elayne’s mother, Betty, was looking in some files and found the short story. Betty had an idea, but what would Elayne think? That is when Elayne and Betty expanded the story and published it.

Imaginary glops witnessed true events from the Bible.
Isaac and Rebekah had twin boys who were very different from each other. The twins were Esau and Jacob. The glops knew that one would cheat his brother. One twin had to run away from the other. Some glops went with him.
One twin had dreams about angels. Some glops heard God talk to the twin in the dreams.
One twin wanted to marry a beautiful girl. Some glops knew the girl’s father was sly and not to be trusted. The twin worked fourteen years for the girl’s father, so that he could marry the girl he loved.
Glops slowly oozed to move. They relied on friendly animals to help them go places. They especially liked the Jacob sheep.
