Mid 1800s – Oklahoma

A Painting, a Protective Father, and an Orphaned Cowboy–How will God use these to heal Heidi’s heart?

Will the brushstrokes that capture light on canvas help Heidi Müller find the light of God’s promises in her soul? Will she rise above the fear that threatens to overwhelm her? When her family moves to a secret location for her protection, will she learn to trust again?

“Sometimes all you need to overcome something hard is a new perspective—and maybe a guide to help you find it.” And when that new perspective is grounded in God’s promises, the result is a stronger, more resilient faith in the God who loves us. The handsome stranger may have been speaking to Heidi Müller’s brother Frederick, but the message penetrated deep within Heidi’s heart where she struggled with fear.

Will God use Jacob’s desire to help his neighbor to place him where the impossible could become possible? When God uses Jacob to renew Heidi’s trust in God, will his traumatic accident give her the opportunity to return the favor?
