the Voice from Dust

History remembers prophets, warriors, and kings.But the real story was happening just beyond the spotlight.A servant watches Abraham led toward an altar. A young Jaredite sees language itself come apart in a crowded market. A mother carries seeds into the wilderness, unsure whether anything will ever grow again. A refugee slips into the Waters of Mormon to be baptized in secret. A child waits through a night that may prove a prophet true-or bring death to everyone who believed him.And at the end of a civilization, one man carries a sacred record back to the hill where his people were destroyed.In The Voice from the Dust, Lorcan Pike brings the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price into sharp, gritty focus-stripping away the distance of centuries to reveal stories of faith, survival, grief, and quiet courage.These are not only stories of the names carved into scripture. They are stories of the people nearby: servants, mothers, children, laborers, soldiers, refugees, and survivors. People who stood close enough to witness miracles, judgment, and the turning points of history-and still had to decide what they would do next.This collection includes twenty-eight immersive retellings, including:The Tears of Heaven: Enoch sees God weep for His children.The Silent Market: A young Jaredite witnesses the confusion of tongues.The Broken Bow: Hunger and fear test Nephi's family in the wilderness.The Waters of Mormon: A refugee risks everything to be baptized where no one is supposed to be watching.The Handwriting on the Heart: A stripling warrior carries his mother's faith into battle.Three Days Without Morning: A family survives the darkness and destruction after Christ's crucifixion.One by One: A young girl waits to meet the resurrected Christ.The Hidden Record: Moroni returns to Cumorah to entrust the final record of his people to a future he will never see.From the city of Enoch to the silence beneath Cumorah, The Voice from the Dust reveals a pattern: God's work is not carried forward only by the powerful, the famous, or the remembered.Sometimes the voice that changes everything waits in the dust.For readers who enjoy raw historical fiction with a spiritual edge.
