Book Overview
Ben was coasting through life until he woke up two-hundred-and seventeen years in the past. He was living an easy, noncommittal college existence when he is transported to a very different, difficult time. He now inhabits the body of his distant relative named Benjamin and is sorely unprepared for the life within which he is now trapped.
The period in history that Ben finds himself is demanding and dangerous and he must navigate an existence unlike anything he has ever experienced before. Not only does Ben harvest a field of wheat and face a raging crop fire, but he unexpectedly falls in love, and travels down the Ohio River by flatboat. Surprisingly, Ben's experiences in the past teach him the importance of living in the present and help him commit to what is essential.
Forced into a seriously uncomfortable situation, Ben learns the importance of hard work, family, character, and faith in God. The lessons he learns apply to his modern circumstances, as well, if he can just find a way back home. During his strange journey, Ben becomes an adult with valuable experience that he gains from the "Benjamin Before."
