ABOUT THE AUTHOR:     Dennis Drake was born in 1959 the second oldest son in a Christian family of thirteen. Growing up on a farm in Indiana he started migrant work at seven years of age picking cucumbers and was in the factory by thirteen. His father worked two jobs most of the time, teaching his sons a solid work ethic, and just about every type of manual labor trade imaginable. He enjoyed Boy Scouts, sports and religion in in his youth before moving out on his own at sixteen. He worked two jobs while finishing High School and College completing a degree in Science Technology during the recession of 1980. He was fortunate to land a maintenace posititon and moved his way up the ladder through office space planning and design to the Facility Director positition for a major corporation in the infant stage of the computer revolution. With a change of direction he started his own  Contractor  business and continued this trade for another ten years before moving to Florida in search of property investments. His passion was always writing and it wasn't until he was in his mid 40s and a commercial Real  Estate Broker that he found the time to write. This passion began during a difficult time in his personal life as he started to read the entire Bible again but wanted to really understand it historically as history and religion was always his favorite subjects. The Bible as his healing tool and inspiration Dennis began by having thoughts about combining the story and genealogy of the Bible with aspects of secular history and civilizations. If this information could be more easily explained and understood at a glance visually. And after three years of research, waking at 2:00 A.M. with creative ideas he has put together the first Holy Bible ancient history Bible family chronicle atlas, with summaries and scripture passages in telling the story of the most incredible book that has ever been written. His hope and purpose for creating this project, is for anyone who has read the Bible, they may have a better understanding of its history. The greater goal is for anyone who has not read the Bible that they may now want to after reading "The Holy Bible Chronicle Atlas".
