What if the Kingdom of Heaven is not earned-but entered like a child?

Elias is a brilliant scribe, exiled for daring to question the religious order that raised him. When he hears whispers of an orchard where truth lives and the Maker still speaks, he sets out to find it-armed with scrolls, logic, and pride.

But the gate does not open for the learned. It opens for a barefoot child.

Unable to enter, Elias turns to find another way-only to meet a strange old man named George, who walks the orchard's edge not as a guard, but as a guide. Through quiet parables and piercing questions, George dismantles everything Elias thought he knew about truth, holiness, and God Himself.

Inspired by George MacDonald's sermon "The Child in the Midst," this gentle yet soul-stirring parable invites readers to lay down the burden of performance and rediscover the way of childlike trust.Todos os Direitos Reservados

What If I Was Nothing?, de FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.

Something Without Reason., de FeyiSparkles

The world ended with neither fire nor flood, only silence. The void swallowed all but a scattered few. And in the black aftermath, we decided: Call ourselves Saviors, and they will listen. Call ourselves Saviors, and they will not despair. Five years have passed, and faith has kept us breathing. Lies have kept us fed. And yet, three years ago, something crawled from the dark... a thing that wore a woman's face and called itself Hollow. It whispered a promise: Tomorrow will arrive. We knew from the start Hollow was not on our side. But is it madness to destroy the only thing that understands the void? Or is it madness to live beneath her shadow, clinging to the hope that someone, something, will save us? But what is a Savior to a world that has already been forsaken? What is meaning in something without reason?

Tears Of God : Mother's Lullaby, de Redwhale

In a world where ancient legends intertwine with modern reality, the fate of a long-forgotten heir is about to ignite once more. His past lies veiled in mystery, his present bound by friendship and pain, and his future promises a war for which no one is prepared. When a golden light descends upon Earth - not as a gift, but as a sentence - three friends must make a choice that will change everything. The only question is whether they can remain human in a world where destiny itself calls them gods. This is a story of betrayal and loyalty, of the wounds of the past and the strength of new beginnings. A tale that reminds us: even amid darkness and blood, a gentle lullaby still echoes... a mother's lullaby.

Apple's, de Puffron

In a world slowly crumbling beneath the weight of a deadly plague, truth hides within the quiet stories left untold. person who refuses to give up. person who steals apples to survive.

Apple's weaves a tale of fractured hope and quiet sorrow, seen through the eyes of those who chose to keep walking when the world begged them to stop. Each chapter reveals another side of a fading world-its secrets, regrets, and the simple desire to stay close to someone, even if just for a little while. Because sometimes, a single apple... is enough to save someone. Or destroy them.

Even After Eden, de LunaAlmaris

She thought grace was out of reach- until a boy who prayed in quiet found her in the ruins. He didn't try to fix her. He just stayed. And somehow, staying became healing. Because love doesn't always arrive loud- sometimes it kneels, waits, and believes. And sometimes, God writes the softest love stories in the shadows.

The Moonlight Monster, de Ikara-navi

When the World Went Quiet, de graciejrogers

The cities are gone. The governments fell. The lucky died fast. Grace Selene has lost everything-the husband she loved, the child she couldn't save, the world she once understood. All that remains is the road, her healer's pack, and a promise to keep moving. When a strange, luminous moss heals a wound that should have killed her, Grace begins to suspect the world isn't finished with her yet. Power hums beneath her skin-wild, ancient, and impossible. It could save what's left of humanity...or destroy her. Across the ashes of the Midwest, rumors whisper of a place called Haven-a settlement where fires still burn through the night. Grace means to find it, or die trying. On the same road walks Steve Rogers, a soldier burdened by ghosts of his own. Trained to protect and born to lead, he's searching for something worth defending again. When their paths cross, survival stops being a solitary act-and becomes a promise neither of them expected to make. In a land where mercy is rarer than sunlight, When the World Went Quiet begins the story of what comes after the end-of healing, hope, and the kind of love that can survive the silence. ⚠️This is not a sunshine story. It is dark and gritty, while the characters will eventually get their happily ever after it is not a story for the faint of heart. There is mention of sexual assault, rape, abuse, forced pregnancy , abortions, murder and death. Read with caution ⚠️
