Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…

The seventh edition of Voices of the Future weaves together short stories of strength and sacrifice in a memorable and heartwarming collection. Experience the next generation’s creativity and vision through tales from rising young creatives.

Featuring Hannah Bellinghausen

Hannah writes for kids like her younger self—the girl who spent hours drawing maps of other worlds and searching for dragons in her neighborhood. Through her stories, she wants to remind all kids that they can find wonder and joy in their lives, even when they face hard times. When she isn’t writing, Hannah can be found making up silly stories with her family, practicing her tae kwon do kicks, or trying to create the world’s longest board game.

Rosie Returns

Tess only has one evening left to create the perfect gift for her grandma’s birthday.
