Jake Hughes lost his son in a tragic swing accident at Aspen Creek Ranch, and he’s blamed himself ever since. Now, 22 years later, his life is catapulted into yet another overwhelming tragedy that confronts his own belief in God’s goodness and meaning in life. Struggling to stay afloat in a sea of grief and anger, Jake finds himself as a father and grandfather uncomfortably confronted with how to reconcile what he has always believed with the realities of his own life.
Into this shattered world comes a stranger, who calls himself a wayfinder, to challenge Jake’s convoluted beliefs and self-pity. This stranger helps Jake make sense of his life and opens his heart to larger realities beyond himself as a husband, father and grandfather.
Wayfinder is a fictional story about the journey each of us walks where personal faith intersects the realities of daily life in adversity and pain. It is in that crucible that our faith in God’s goodness and purposes for our lives is put to the test. The wayfinder understands that the good way is not an easy way, but it is the path where we find rest for our souls and a new vision of God’s purposes for our lives.
May God use this story to give you courage to walk by faith in your own story that is being authored by God for His good purposes.
