The Search for a WiseHeart: A Journey Through Missteps, Manhood, and Meaning

By John Wilfong

What does a boy become when no one shows him how?

Jason Hayes is a scrawny freshman with a cracked phone screen, secondhand everything, and a father who never stays. He's easy to overlook, and part of him has begun to agree. Then Coach Lohman keeps him after practice.

What follows is a gathering of small moments. A coach who stays late. Letters that arrive every month like clockwork. A dinner table where people actually show up for each other. Through heartbreak and hard-won growth, these moments quietly answer the question Jason has been carrying his whole life: Am I becoming anyone worth being?

Some questions follow a man his whole life. This is a book for anyone still carrying them.

"As you follow Jason Hayes through success and suffering, you begin to see how life's messiness
is often the very place where faith becomes real."
