Josiah Benton was born and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona, home to the beautiful San Francisco Mountain Range and the vanilla scents of the Ponderosa pine forest. Our world would consider his life most unfortunate with the challenges he faced at birth. Not to be fazed by the palsy affecting the left side of his body, Josiah makes the most of life in his forty-seven years on earth.A childhood friend by the name of Caleb Barnes keeps him busy with their favorite games, sleepovers, and a fishing caper, which lands them in hot water with family members who so easily forgave them. Trapped one night in a deer stand, freezing to death if not for the body warmth of his best buddy, Caleb, Josiah sees into his past and the future with the help of an angel. Five key events are shared that set the course for his life. He sees them all in the same vision. One event from the past, he understands. Four events are yet to be revealed. In our lifetimes, there are four to five events each of us experiences to make an impact on the kingdom of the Lord, our families, and our own lives. The impact can be positive, or the impact can be negative. Take a journey with Josiah and see where these future events lead him. See if the world becomes a better place after Josiah takes his last breath.You will meet the love of Josiah's life, Rebecca Adsila. The origin of their relationship is unique to say the least, and oh, do they have so much in common. Three great adventures await them spanning two and half decades. Their final act of kindness and conviction for the masses is one for the ages.The story is narrated by Josiah Benton himself as he rests while taking in his last breaths in bed. The same bed his beautiful wife, Becca, died in just six months prior. Now, it is Josiah's turn. No bother to him. He is more than ready to go home and be with his Becca. He is fortunate to be surrounded by his two children and four grandchildren, or is he hallucinating and confused?Clues along the way reveal the truth about Josiah, but the challenge will be piecing them together and solving the puzzle, only to be revealed right at the very end.

Luray, Virginia, is a beautiful town situated in Page Valley of the Shenandoah. It's home to Daniel and Annabelle Greenwood. For income, the couple own and manage a bed-and-breakfast business, handed down from Annabelle's father before the bed-and-breakfast industry was a thing. Daniel and Annabelle have four children. Three boys: Absalom, Noah, and Tommy. A little girl named Layla Belle who was in their lives for only a moment in time but made a huge impact for the Kingdom of God. Daniel also serves as minister to a small Presbyterian congregation that has roots in the basement of his home. One morning on Christmas day, the congregation experience a miraculous healing from the Holy Spirit, which catapults growth and positive directions in serving the community of Luray, for years to come. Absalom Greenwood catches a vision for serving the Lord early on in his life following the patterns of his mom and dad! Serving in a ministry that's very entertaining, to say the least. At the age of eighteen, walking away from his faith, Absalom becomes a statistic, joining the 85 percent of his companions raised in Christian homes who never give the Bible or God a second thought. They work hard pursuing the American Dream and worshipping everything but the Lord. Many years later, when Annabelle is seventy-seven years of age, she rises to her finest hour, calling out to her son, pleading for him to return to his faith. Will Absalom hear the call and make the decision to turn his life toward God? The story spans from the early 1960s all the way to 2009, with many interesting people to meet along the way. You may see yourself along the journey. So I ask that you examine your hearts and minds. Confirm your calling and election sure for Christ. He loves you!
