The Chest of Visions: New Pathways ‘cross Broken Highways
Ebook
Overview
Alex, a troubled youth from Earth, travels to the world of Caperston via a wormhole in hopes of resolving his struggles. He meets a messiah, who preaches equality amongst the “Haves” and “Have nots” in Caperston, and his youth followers. Alex finds himself enmeshed in the challenges of their world. The youth, while asking for equality, are attacked as they march to see the Ruler. Alex steps in to stop the carnage but tensions are ready to explode. A short time later the messiah is arrested. Great drama follows over an eighteen-month period. Alex, hearing from Earth friends, isn’t sure whether he should return home. Is it even possible? The book concludes with ten pages of activities for Christian youth leaders to use, when discussing the events taking place in the story. Themes of forgiveness and prayer are highlighted.
“I first learned of Tim’s gifts in writing on the shore of Fire
Island, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Every year he wrote skits
for the young people to present at an Easter Dawn service as the
sun broke above the horizon and rose. That was just the beginning
of his writing. It is my deepest hope and my sincerest conviction
that as you meet my colleague and my friend in his writings, you
will find that he, together with the characters he has created,
will engage and inspire you as well.”
