God can use ordinary people in extraordinary ways.

A TV news producer., a housewife and mother of two, an ex-governor, and a struggling writer. Four ordinary people with little in common other than a vague dissatisfaction with their lives, and an unpretentious invitation that seems to come out of nowhere.

Each dismisses the mysterious invitation as a practical joke. But when strange—some might even call them miraculous—things start happening, all four find themselves embarking on a journey that takes them beyond their wildest imaginings and tests their faith to the breaking point. Before it’s over, each discovers that, with God, nothing is impossible. Faith can move mountains if you open your heart to the One who has called you.

Five ordinary people know what they should do. But will they do what’s right no matter what the cost?

It’s been two years since Natalie, Walter, Kathy, Del, and Julia received anonymous invitations that led them to Haven, Nebraska where their lives were changed. Now, they all struggle to follow through with God’s direction and the promises they made.

But then amazing things start happening again, and one of the Havenites is placed in deadly peril. The others know they must answer God’s call a second time, even if it means facing an enemy more terrifying, more powerful, more malevolent than they’ve ever known. An enemy determined to destroy them.

Will you answer the call? Five ordinary people are brought together, bound by a common calling to see God at work in their lives—and join Him.

One eagerly accepts but has her own ideas about how God’s plan should play out. One feels she is too ordinary and of little use. One tries too hard to make things happen. Another continues their life seeking His ways. Yet another wants nothing to do with Him.

Join the journey—and start your own. Find your God-given purpose as you open the eyes of your heart and are enlightened.

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.” Ephesians 1: 18
