Sara and the Still, Small Voice

Sara and the Still, Small Voice. ... and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire, a still small voice. (1Kings19:12, NKJV). For ages 9-12, grades 3-6. In today's world, where kids receive so many conflicting messages about God and morality, this book is a bright light in the midst of confusion. Pre-teens will enjoy the adventures of our scrappy sixth grader, Sara, who lives in a treehouse and hears a strange voice. But the true value of her story lies in the sensitive way it directs young people to faith in Christ.

This makes Sara and the Still, Small Voice perfect for Sunday school or homeschool settings because it helps students find God in nature, in the Bible, and in their friends and families. As the story unfolds-with scriptural references woven in-readers will explore loss, fear, anxiety, and forgiveness. And because the Holy Spirit is the story's real hero, it contains additional topics such as the Trinity, prayer and salvation.

At first, Sara is annoyed by the still, small voice that comes out of nowhere. All she knows is that her parents are missing, she doesn't fit in anywhere, and she has no idea why. In school Sara is tormented as the class "Weirdo" until she decides to fight back. Her tactics pepper the story with plenty of action, drama, and conflict, including a ruined bicycle, mean pigs, a near-drowning and a dead lizard.

This is a "happy ending" story, as Sara eventually realizes that unless she finds real help, her future is hopeless. Enter Rebecca, who brings friendship and a thrilling Book. The Book not only reveals the source of the mysterious voice, but helps Sara overcome fear, insecurity, and anxiety. Armed with new information and guidance, the two girls embark on a journey that is scary, sometimes sad, and often funny-and together, they begin responding to a difficult world in ways that honor God.
