Chest of Visions
1 primary work
Book 1
Change came with the emergence of a prophet in the far away world of Caperston. Caperston is a world with no concept of a God. Its people mindlessly followed the directives of an unjust ruler. The result was a separation of the wealthy valley people from the deemed inferior mountain people.
As a teenager Mattpaul listened to the prophet and his mind was opened. He befriends the mountain youth. To the lament of his wealthy parents, he gives up his privileged path to success and becomes an advocate for the mistreated and a colleague of the prophet calling for the people to turn to God, their Caring Creator. Mattpaul accidentally makes e-mail contact with a Christian youth group website, opening a door to ongoing communication. Youth from earth and Caperston share mutual stories of hope, vision and struggle. The challenges on Caperston intensify as does one challenge on earth. The ongoing correspondence between youth living in the two worlds solidifies a belief in God that transcends the teachings of the church. A vision of heaven changes everything.
