About The Author: Cynthia Pearl Maus, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Educator and Author (1880 – 1970).

Cynthia Pearl Maus believed in Christian Education because she believed that young people and adults could learn from each other and walk together in the light of God. She was born on a farm in Iowa. She went to a teachers' college in Kansas, then to university in Illinois, and at the age of 30, began developing church school literature for Disciples of Christ.

By 1919, she had helped invent "graded lessons," Vacation Bible Schools, weekday Bible schools, and summer camps and conferences. She organized the first national convention for Disciples youth in 1926. She wrote voluminously to assist teachers and published a series of widely-read devotional anthologies. During her long life, Cynthia Pearl Maus' scholarship and devotion gave thousands of people, young and old, an opportunity to walk in the light of God.

She is often quoted as saying: “You may have tangible wealth untold, caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you could never be; I know someone who told stories to me.” The wonderful stories she told were stories of God at work in the world. They were "light" to be shared with others.
