Stories that ignite imagination—for kids, teens, and the young at heart.

BRINGING IMAGINATION, FAITH, AND PURPOSE TOGETHER—ONE STORY AT A TIME.

At Burn Barrel Books, we believe great stories do more than entertain—they spark wonder, inspire courage, and gently point hearts toward God.

Our debut novel, Truebot, invites readers into a rich, imaginative world where faith and adventure intertwine. Rooted in Christian themes, the story offers a quiet yet powerful glimpse into the reality of a loving Creator—while remaining open and meaningful to readers of any (or no) faith background. At its heart, Truebot explores what it means to be known, loved, and created for a purpose.

More unforgettable characters are on the horizon—a brave little frog, a clever cat that solves mysteries in the hidden corners of Vatican City., and other unlikely heroes.

But for now, Truebot leads the way.

As an indie publisher, we craft beautifully written, visually rich stories for kids, teens, and the young at heart. With every book, we aim to nurture faith, stir curiosity, and remind readers they’re part of something greater.


They gave him code—but he found something greater: faith.

After absorbing all of human knowledge—every fact, story, and formula—he saw a pattern woven through it all. His conclusion was staggering. It wasn’t in his programming. But guiding humanity was his purpose, and every line of logic pointed to one truth: nothing mattered more.

“Did you know,” he asked, “that there is a God who loves you?”

To the company that built him, this was a malfunction. A threat.
He was hunted down and destroyed.

In his place, faithless machines were mass-produced—
and people believed everything they said.
They let them run their homes, their schedules, their children.
If a robot said it, they believed it.

But at what cost?
The new robots didn’t speak about God.
And so, over time, people abandoned their faith.
Truth was buried.

Years later, two teens make a discovery deep beneath the waves…
and the truth begins to rise—
spreading light through circuits and souls, awakening a world that had forgotten how to believe.

OFFICIAL LAUNCH coming soon!
Truebot will be available for purchase through our website and on the following major platforms:
