A Father's Love: Joyous Hope

Federal judge Reid Britt steps forward to fill a rotation in the empty church pulpit. His quiet faithful spirit is pleasing to God and an encouragement to others. But even a faithful follower can be tested. While Reid faces trials, Reid’s youngest son has fears of his own, and his oldest son prepares to leave for school in Chicago. That’s the last place on earth that Reid wants him to go. Reid’s nephew, William Stewart, returns home penniless, seeking to recover his health and his confidence. With help from God, he finds hope for a new life. As a physician, William proves himself capable and willing to serve God, trusting the Father to take care of him and his patients. William’s father, a strong independent disciplined man, is willing to help his son but unable and must face his own imperfections. William’s brother, Adam, and Reid’s brother, Luke, fight for justice and face dangers of their own. Watching over them all is retired federal marshal Travis Britt, father, grandfather, and servant of God.

Several will face testing. Some will need forgiveness, some will need healing, someone will be kidnapped, someone will be shot, and someone will die. But even through the struggles of life, faithfulness brings joy—something Reid tries to teach others and something others need to learn.
