At times, many of us lose sight of what is truly precious in our life. Fifteen-year-old Tara is no different. On Christmas Eve, a time when many of us reflect on loved ones, service to others, and—most of all—love, Tara has lost sight of these things. Upset and contentious with God and her family, she falls into fitful slumber until she has a dream that changes her entire outlook. This powerful and inspirational story tells of Tara's journey from angry teenager to humble child of God in which she is taught the meaning of love. The Coin's message will touch, uplift, and strengthen even the strongest of faiths.
A very talented author and friend of mine, Adrian, was kind enough to provide me (and you) with her thoughts on a sneak-peak read of this story:
I was given the lovely gift of reading this short story before the author published. I have to say, this piece is uplifting and deep. Touching on atonement of our sins, free will, salvation and forgiveness, this author tells a compelling story. It starts with an annoyed and typical teenager, sitting through a Christmas Eve worship service—guess what, she doesn’t want to be there. She has spurned anything Christ-like. The second part of the story moves into the meaning and the tear-jerking scene of what gives Tara the reason to believe. I won’t spoil it, as I really want you to read it.
If you’re looking for a feel good story about finding and remembering faith, this is the story for you. The author works through some tough theological issues while making the story relatable, and most of all, relevant to the reader. – Adrian Smith, Author
I need to do a plug here and let you know that she is an excellent editor and charges competitively, so please look up her services if you are in need of her talent.
One week away, dear readers! This story will be available to you. I very much hope it is something that can inspire and uplift you, as this world desperately needs so much of that.
I can't wait!
