Christianity is replete with paradoxes—give to receive, sacrifice to
gain, die to live. It is how God set up
His eternal economy and established it as the means by which He would rescue
the Universe from its fallen state.
Indeed, He willingly submitted Himself to this system for it was His
love, surrender, commitment, and sacrifice that established forever our way of
escape from the misery of Adam’s error now and on into that great city meant
for our habitation when God closes the door on this era.
Randal Simpson, a divorced Dad who has (as much as humanly possible) done
everything right. Still, he loses
custody of his adopted daughter, Amber, to her manipulative mother who
abandoned the family for six years searching for fame and fortune. The ex-wife succeeds in completely severing
father and daughter for almost two decades.
Randal, under the direction and encouragement of Christian community, comes
to understand that his first and foremost responsibility is to provide for and
protect the child who carries his name even if he is forced to do so in
absentia.
In Spite of the poison dished out by her ever vindictive mother, Amber is
haunted by the natural desire to discover the man whose name she bears. This desire eventually takes her on a transforming
(and trying) journey over a three month period that takes her (resistant all
the way) back in time and across state lines.
In the end, though, it will be her father’s love, surrender, commitment,
and sacrifice that brings about healing, reconciliation and renewal.
