ABOUT ROOTED CHRONICLES
Founded by award-winning writer Luis Serrano, Rooted Chronicles, creates, publishes and promotes stories sown and seeded in Scripture. We have passion, love, and reverence for the Scriptures, so we strive to stay true, grounded, and rooted to the Biblical accounts we are retelling through Bible-based comics and graphic novels. Serrano was awarded the top honor in writing in the Gideon Media Arts Conference - Comics Writer and Artist Contest. Sixty-five percent of the population learns visually, and ultimately, we hope that our stories inspire readers to read and reread Scripture.
