Ben Harper was a young, ambitious, science teacher in a well-to-do high school in Cleveland, Ohio. His career was off to a good start and he loved what he was doing -- teaching young people. But unexpectedly, a devastating event changed his life forever. Because the stress and emotional pain weighed heavy upon him, Ben decided he needed a new beginning, where life would be easier and the memories of the past less intense. More out of desperation than logical thinking, he accepts a teaching position in a small school in Jordan, Kansas. Having done little research before accepting the offer, he now moves into uncharted territory filled with challenges that he never anticipated, challenges that will test his faith. He soon learns that "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps" (Prov. 16:9).This is a fictional story in a fictional place, but the principles for Godly living are presented in the character of Ben Harper and the people that encourage him to stand firm. Ben, as well as the other characters, learn that humble, unselfish, teamwork is critical in living a life that honors God.
