“God lives in the sun, and we cannot go near because of its heat.”
With these simple, profound words from a young girl, a journey is born—one that will forever change the lives of two children and, perhaps, the hearts of all who read it.
In “The Sun Where God Lives,” author Will Anthony Jr. crafts a deeply imaginative allegorical tale where young Fètchfā and her loyal friend Moro set out in search of the divine. Guided by wonder and stirred by mystery, they traverse dreamlike landscapes—from the Gate of Wonder to the River of Reflection, up to the blazing summit where truth dwells in flame.
Each chapter reveals layers of spiritual insight, drawing from biblical inspiration, especially the story of the burning furnace of Nebuchadnezzar, to illuminate the journey of faith, identity, and transformation. Along the way, Fètchfā and Moro are challenged to face their fears, confront illusions, and discover that the God they seek is not hidden in the distance—but calling them to become light themselves.
Dedicated to the author’s daughter and her childlike wisdom, The Sun Where God Lives is a poetic, soul-stirring story for readers young and old. It reminds us that the divine is not a place we escape to, but a presence we awaken to—and carry back into the world.
