Product Description

•••••

Alex Graham, a middle-aged widower who runs a bookstore, finds his tranquil existence flipped upside down when his college-age son vanishes with no explanation of where he went. With few resources, this father embarks on a lengthy journey that will take him away from his comfortable and tidy existence for the first time. Panicked, he follows the tiniest thread of a trail of evidence, and is taken step by step on an odyssey that brings him to intriguing destinations, criss-crossing with terrifying people and hazardous events.

His doubt and sorrow, loss and yearning pulls Graham into national conflicts which reflect the everlasting fight between good and evil. Despite feeling nearly broken by the unfathomable agony he endures, he finds surprising sources of strength as he carries onward in the hope of regaining his son— and himself.

Paperback. 1076 pages.



The Sabbatical features Dr. Owen Whitfield, the elderly history of professor who initially made an appearance in The Father's Tale. Time has passed, and Dr. Whitfield is now looking forward to a sabbatical year of peace and quiet, cultivating a garden in his backyard, and tinkering with his newest "unpublishable book". 

Yet as the year begins, a sequence of seemingly coincidental occurrences pull him into a group of individuals from around Europe, including a family that has been the subject of assassination attempts by mysterious powers. During his subsequent travel to Romania, the predicament he finds himself in grows more ominous than it first appeared.

The plot of this thrilling novel revolves around the conflict between fatalism and providential view of history, the bravery and love required for navigating through a labyrinth of unclear signs and messages, and the triumph of faith and reason over the powers of destruction.

Hardcover. 375 pages.
