The Bible in my desk

A quiet faith. A powerful stand. To Obi Sullivan, his Bible isn't a weapon or a political statement. It's a comfort, a connection, and a calling. A teenager with cerebral palsy who dreams of becoming a minister, Obi is used to navigating a world that often sees his wheelchair but overlooks his strength. He’s the nice guy everyone likes, but no one truly understands. When his Bible is confiscated during free reading time by a teacher who claims it’s “disruptive,” Obi’s quiet nature is put to the ultimate test. Facing suspension and opposition from the school administration, Obi finds an unlikely ally in Cassie Martinez, a fiercely logical atheist who argues for his rights on principle. But as their fight escalates from the principal's office to the school board and unexpectedly viral attention, Obi is thrust into a spotlight he never wanted. Forced to confront angry critics, eager media, and even well-meaning groups who want to use his story for their own agendas, Obi must discover what he’s really fighting for. Is it about winning, or is it about something deeper? In the spirit of classic Judy Blume, The Bible in My Desk is a heartfelt and powerful novel about religious freedom, finding your voice, and the courage it takes to stand firm in your beliefs—even when you’re sitting down.
