Back to a Childlike Faith: Exploring faraway places and discovering home

This is the story of a boy who grew into a man without ever losing his childlike wonder. From star-filled nights in Big Bend country to the shimmering constellations he greeted like old friends, his curiosity about the universe shaped the way he saw the world-and the God who created it.

His journey led him across the globe to the New Seven Wonders of the World and the ancient Great Pyramids of Egypt. Whether climbing the tight passage to Khufu's burial chamber, standing alone before the Taj Mahal at dawn, balancing on the Great Wall of China, or watching children play beneath the Roman Colosseum, he embraced each moment with awe.

This book also tells the story of an artist, teacher, and natural entertainer-one whose joy drew children near and whose gifts helped shape future generations. Through art, laughter, and faith, he touched lives deeply, inspiring young people who would one day share the Gospel in many languages.
