Wayfinder

Keeping Faith In a Shattered World

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 in his family — the second deep sorrow. Struggling to stay afloat in a sea of grief and anger, Jake finds himself uncomfortably confronted with how to reconcile what he has always believed with the realities on his own life.

Confused by his inability to make sense of his life or to focus on the first things of life as a husband, father and grandfather, into his tormented world drifts a stranger – a wayfinder he calls himself – challenging his convoluted beliefs and self-pity, and opening his heart to larger realities. Then there are the dreams. What is Jake to do with those?

Symbolic of his unresolved sorrow, fear, unforgiveness, and struggle with God, the wayfinder knows that Aspen Creek Ranch holds the key to unlocking the one door Jake Hughes has not been able to open, but the one necessary for him to truly find rest for his soul and a path of purpose.

Is it true that adversity is essential for the journey towards maturity – that paradoxical place in life where we begin to see as a child again? Whatever answers you may find from Wayfinder, perhaps Jake’s story will help clear the air. Listen to the Wayfinder, for he knows the way home where there is rest for your soul. Perhaps like Jake, your soul will find rest too. So, tell everyone you know to read Wayfinder!
