Dare to be Different

Christian Short Stories #4

by Natalie Vellacott

Sophie Yale is a popular teenager seeking comfort in religion after the death of her mother. The Church of the Living Water seems perfect; lively, relevant, on trend and focusing on love, unity and tolerance with no excessive demands or tiresome rules. Sophie is happy to be part of this ever growing social scene surrounded by her friends.

But what's really going on behind the scenes of this church? Are the leaders really Christians, or do they have a different agenda? What about the newly introduced mid-week worship nights, where anything can happen? Should a Christian's life look different to that of a non-believer? Is it really okay to just blend in with everyone else?

Will Sophie realise the danger she is in before it's too late?

About the author

Natalie Vellacott spent a decade as a police officer in England before swapping her badge for a Bible and heading for Southeast Asia as a Christian missionary. She volunteered on Logos Hope, a giant ship, for 2 years with 400 people from 65 other countries enduring the cultural catastrophes in order to enjoy the exciting adventures.

Natalie began writing in the Philippines when she fell in love with a group of street children addicted to a solvent called Rugby. Having founded a charity to help the boys and draw attention to their plight, she naively entitled her first book and has been trying to get it out of the Rugby Union chart ever since.

Natalie has also dabbled in Christian fiction for children, in the choose your own adventure style, mostly for the benefit of her nephew, Reuben, who is pleased that he takes centre stage.

Natalie is now involved in evangelism in the UK. In 2023, she published a new book about her recent experiences, as well as a series of contemporary short stories based on some of the parables that Jesus told.
