As our five children continue to grow and learn every day, we’ve stepped out in faith and relaunched a 20-year-old Bible-based business from Brian’s childhood. We believe it's vital for the next generation to learn God's history, and with so much negative saturation around us, there can never be too many positive, God-centric educational tools.
With diligent prayer, we look forward to our family growing
along with the revitalized Creation to Revelation.
With a background in American History and—in recent years—running a hand-lettering business from home, Emma finds writing for CTR to be the perfect combination of her loves of storytelling and creativity. Husband William and 1-year-old daughter, Elsie, fill Emma's days with ridiculousness and laughter. The Hammontrees live in Upstate New York where you can usually find them drinking coffee, playing board games, hiking, or tackling renovation projects in their first home—a 1932 Colonial.
After working 14 years in Tampa, Brian, Joie, and their 5 children live on a farm in Ben Wheeler, TX. He unwittingly began Creation to Revelation 20 years back (at his mother’s request for Bible class illustrations), later publishing them at 15. Ever the perfectionist, Brian continues to explore options for CTR’s improvement. A hopeless introvert and artist, Brian loves theatre, movies, running, hiking, and layering puns unnecessarily around his ever-patient wife.
Brian doesn’t social.
Joie is living her dream as a wife and mother. She went from not knowing about CTR (before Brian), to integrating it into their home Bible studies, to now: helping run the family business and ensuring other families can find Biblical resources for their families. Raising their five beautiful blessings at home keeps her humble, pushes her to grow daily, and drives her ultimate goal to inspire a deep, sincere love for God within them. Besides homeschooling, supporting her husband, shipping your orders, and keeping the kids alive, Joie is passionate about theatre (which brought Brian and her together!), performing Broadway and opera, and being an extrovert that loves connecting and building relationships … which naturally led to her role with CTR!
With experience in photography, graphic design, and social media management, Alyssa is excited to join the CTR Team and use these skills to share in the mission of Creation to Revelation. Alyssa moved to Texas to step out of her comfort zone and learn more about who God is and who He has called each of us to be. You will often find Alyssa sippin' a Dr. Pepper and making checklists.
