**The books being asked about are part of the Zaanan series by me, Al Bohl.**

My name is Al Bohl.  I wrote and illustrated the four Zaanan books which are presently available through Amazon.com.  
The idea came for Zaanan because I wanted to tell an adventure story for young readers. It is not taken from any other source.  There are two overarching concepts that I hoped to convey. One is that should Christ tarry, Christianity will be relevant far into the future.  Secondly, as the book Haggai says, "consider your ways." I took common issues and projected them into the future.  If we don't consider what were doing and why we will reap what is sown.  
I am currently writing episode Five "Mermen of Immersia."  The fourth book ended with a plug for this story but the publisher dropped the series.  I hope to have it ready by the Fall of 2017.  It won't have as many illustrations.
