Voices of the Future: Stories of Strength and Sacrifice
$17.00
A collection of 11 soul-stirring short stories that celebrate strength, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to hope.
Featuring The One That Got Away, a short story by Lydia Smith!
For someone with no end of money, tax-collector Zacchaeus bar Simeon doesn’t have much. No friends, no family, and no God. They’ve all cut him off. He’s completely alone.
Not that he’ll ever admit he cares.
But when a miracle-worker arrives in his hometown of Jericho, Zacchaeus can’t help investigating. This supposed prophet stops for blind beggars, so maybe he would spare a glance for an outcast tax-collector, too.
Unfortunately, Zacchaeus is a wee little man in a big crowd, easily lost and easily ignored, and if he can’t reach this Jesus of Nazareth, he’ll walk away unseen and forgotten yet again.

First, I am so biased because I adore Lydia and Zaccy already and I read the story before it was published BUT after reading it again it was . . . different. It had more impact and I loved it so much. You definitely need to read this story. ANd all the other ones because they’re also amazing. : )

I bought our copies for Lydia’s story, The One That Got Away. Everyone in the house couldn’t wait to get theirs! I loved the way she brought Zacchaeus to life as a real person with a past many of us can relate to. The ending is perfect! I’ve also enjoyed some of the other short stories from young writers like Lydia.
