A Dust Story, the newest release from author Paul F. Rodney, is now available through online book retailers. Aimed at children and young adults, this imaginative journey whisks two brothers from a dusty sunbeam into a fantastical world called Abaq, where they are transformed—both physically and spiritually. This tale, rich with allegory and layered themes, offers readers a faith-rooted, thought-provoking escape into a universe where dust hides entire civilizations and divine purpose directs the heart of adventure.
At first glance, A Dust Story appears to be a whimsical fantasy about two boys, Christhony and Antian, who find themselves shrunken and swept into a dust particle. But as the story unfolds, it dives deep into themes of love, divine purpose, cultural satire, and the battle between grace and rebellion. Traveling across the alien world of Abaq, the brothers encounter creatures called the Zoan and Anashim, where they’re given a divine mission by “The Yown,” a mysterious being who ultimately reveals Himself as the Holy Spirit. Through this mission, they spread warmth—both literal and spiritual—across a frozen world once ruled by hatred and confusion.
Rodney blends classic storytelling with theological insight, using satire and surrealism to mirror human behaviors and spiritual conflicts. Children will enjoy the vibrant imagery and creative creatures, while adult readers will appreciate the biting commentary and moral depth. From a museum tour mocking ancient faith to the transformation of multi-headed beings into creations of love, A Dust Story cleverly combines humor and doctrine. As the boys serve, sacrifice, and grow in their understanding of God's love, readers are left considering the eternal impact of grace, redemption, and truth in their own lives.
“A Dust Story was written to inspire not just imagination but transformation,” says author Paul F. Rodney. “The characters experience a divine adventure, and I hope readers, especially younger ones, realize that their own lives can reflect truth, hope, and change—even in the most unlikely moments. The story invites us all to stare at something as simple as dust and ask deeper questions about eternity.” Rodney’s passion for connecting Scripture to creative storytelling fuels every page, with subtle nods to biblical truths woven throughout the narrative.
A Dust Story is now available for purchase. Readers can find the book through major online retailers. Ideal for families, youth groups, homeschoolers, and Sunday school libraries, the book serves as a unique tool for spiritual growth and discussion.
