A Time to Speak, A Time to Be Silent
A Christian Fiction Anthology
"…a time to be silent and a time to speak." — Ecclesiastes 3:7
We all walk through seasons where we’re faced with a choice: do we speak, or stay silent? Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:7, A Time to Speak, A Time to Be Silent will explore the moments in life where discernment matters most. Through heart-centered Christian fiction, this anthology will highlight how believers wrestle with truth, wisdom, timing, and obedience to the voice of God.
From gentle restraint to bold declarations, these stories will reflect the very real spiritual tension of navigating God's will in everyday relationships, ministry, conflict, grief, and growth. Each story will reflect how the Holy Spirit leads us differently through different seasons — sometimes calling us to speak truth, and other times inviting us into the sacred stillness of silence.
