Foundational Archive
Long before Verbum & Virtue grew into a sanctuary for deep thought and classical living, our community took root through Burning Bush Press and the Sower and Harvest Short Story Prizes for homeschoolers—a gathering of faithful writers committed to narrative depth, faith, and artistic excellence.
What began as a seed planted through our foundational writing contest for homeschoolers now lives on in this preserved hall of fame. Step into this curated vault to explore the award-winning fiction and rich heritage that first brought our community together.
