A Timeless Tale of Druze Wisdom, Faith and Strength In the heart of a quiet Lebanese village, where olive groves whisper ancient secrets and the village square hums with life, young Nizar faces a challenge that extends beyond any game of marbles. In the wake of his father's passing, he clings to a single treasure-a smooth blue marble, a symbol of his father's love and the timeless wisdom of the Druze faith. As self-doubt and fear take root, Nizar is drawn into the village's marble games, facing off against the sharp-tongued Tarek, the reigning champion. But this is more than a contest of skill; it's a test of character, patience and the values passed down through generations. With each flick of his marble, Nizar wrestles with deeper questions of honour, resilience and the power of staying true to one's beliefs. Guided by the teachings of Sheikh Amin-who weaves the wisdom of their Druze heritage into everyday lessons-Nizar learns that true courage is not found in victory alone, but in standing firm for what is right, protecting those who cannot and trusting the journey, even when the path is uncertain. As the games unfold, Nizar begins to understand that strength lies not in competition, but in the unity of community, the steadfastness of faith and the kindness we extend to others. Can one small marble-and one determined boy-honour the legacy of the past and inspire a brighter future? Nizar and the Marbles of Courage is a beautifully woven tale of tradition, identity and the quiet strength that comes from embracing one's roots. Filled with rich cultural insights and timeless Druze teachings, this heart-warming story is a powerful reminder that even the smallest hands, when guided by wisdom and faith, can shape a better world. Perfect for readers young and old, this inspiring tale is a tribute to the enduring values of faith, family, and courage.
