The Boy On The Church Steps

The Boy on the Church Steps

On a stormy night in the quiet town of Elms Wood, Pastor Mark Davidson discovers a bruised and terrified eight-year-old boy abandoned on the steps of his rural church. With no family, no voice to share his past, and nothing but fear in his eyes, the child—Josiah—is a mystery wrapped in pain.

As Mark and his wife, Jenna, open their home to him, they soon realize love alone won’t erase the scars of a broken past. Josiah is running from something—or someone—but he refuses to speak of it. With patience, prayer, and unwavering faith, they begin to uncover the truth: he was fleeing an abusive foster home that failed him.

But when the system tries to pull him back into the very darkness he escaped, Mark and Jenna must fight for more than just his safety—they must fight for his future.

A story of faith, redemption, and the power of family, The Boy on the Church Steps is a heart-wrenching and inspiring novel that reminds us that God never forgets the broken—He calls them His own.

Will Josiah find the courage to believe in love again?

Will the Davidsons be able to protect him before it’s too late?

One child’s past. One family’s faith. One battle for a forever home.
