The Divine Pursuit: Luke Goodwin’s Search for Knowledge

When faith is tested across centuries, the truth must be fought for.
Marked since childhood by the tragic death of his mother, anxious college freshman Luke Goodwin finds himself adrift—struggling to mend his fractured relationship with his rationalist father, a man whose disillusionment with God has driven him toward a life numbed by alcohol. But when a mysterious old man offers Luke an extraordinary chance to travel back in time to ancient Athens, he’s faced with a dangerous proposition: uncover the answers that could save his father’s soul.
In a city alive with the voices of history, the titan Greek philosophers mentor groups of time-traveling students, each seeking to uncover the nature of truth. Luke is thrust into their world of rigorous debate, intellectual challenge, and moral testing—forced to grapple not only with their brilliance, but with the eternal questions they pose about God, meaning, and the human condition.
His journey builds toward a decisive, high-stakes confrontation with Epicurus, the father of hedonism—a man whose worldview has shaped centuries of human thought. To triumph, Luke must defend the reality of God, confront his own doubts, and choose whether to stand firm in the truth or be swept away by persuasive lies.
Blending gripping storytelling, philosophical depth, and the timeless truth of the Gospel, The Divine Pursuit invites readers into a thought-provoking adventure where history, theology, and the human heart collide.
