SYNOPSIS
John, the youngest son, never imagined that his journey of self-discovery would be shaped through the lives of others.

Salvation comes not in triumph, but in the humbling moments that bring him to his knees, guiding him back to the unwavering love of his Father. This powerful and transformative play will inspire, challenge, and strengthen your faith.
