Children from across the biblical world step forward to share their experiences. A shepherd boy faces a giant with only stones and faith. A slave girl serves in a foreign land while holding onto hope for her master's healing. Young Samuel hears a voice calling in the night that will change his destiny. Brothers struggle with jealousy and forgiveness in their father's tent. A girl watches her baby brother float down the river in a basket. These young narrators speak directly about moments that shaped their lives and their people's history. Each child confronts fear, makes difficult choices, and discovers courage they never knew they possessed. Their stories reveal how ordinary young people become part of something larger than themselves.
