In 1988, Paul joined Focus on the Family. He wrote lots of stories to be read on the radio. Now, Paul is the Creative Director at Focus on the Family. This means that he is the one that thinks of all the different ideas for the worlds of Odyssey and Marus. He now lives in Colorodo Springs.

//Adventures in Odyssey: Passages// does not take place in the land of Odyssey, like the other Odyssey books. the books are set in the world of Marus. Each book is a new manuscript written by kids who have stumbled into Marus. //Darien's Rise//, the first book, shows the story of Kyle and Anna as they accidentally fall into Marus. It tells the story of a mad king and his faithful general who is fit to rule. Based off Bible stories, //Passages// will change the way you look at the world. This book is 7 points and has an AR level of 4.9. It is recommended for third grade and up.
