As pastor of a small church in Apple Valley, Arkansas, Adam embraces everyone in the valley as his congregation. Friends and neighbors all respect him as a man of God. He is content to stay there and labor for the Lord for the rest of his life. Then he receives an invitation to become pastor of the largest and most prestigious church in Chicago. At first Adam refuses. Who will care for his widowed mother and his congregation? Finally, believing it's God's will, he surrenders. On the train to Chicago, Adam meets and is smitten with 19-year-old Victoria Winters, whose delicate beauty masks her inner resolve. Her dream job as a schoolteacher has ended in disaster. Falsely accused of beating a student, she is fired, jailed and run out of town. Although instantly attracted to Adam, Victoria has vowed never to trust again. For Adam, his vision of fulfilling God's plan for him with the woman he loves at his side is threatened when he is thrown into danger at the hands of extortionists and murderers. Can the humble pastor from the hill country find the courage to overcome both Victoria's fears and the evil that surrounds him?
