Beyond the Farthest Star

A Novel

De: Bodie Thoene, Brock Thoene

Narrado por: Bodie Thoene

When a nativity display on public property is torched by a former US Senator, the media spotlight falls on the forgotten small town of Leonard, Texas, and the new pastor of its only church—Adam Wells. Emboldened by the prospect of leading his tiny congregation in a nationally-televised, first amendment debate that he considers to be a “fight for the heart and soul of America,” Pastor Wells determines not to let anything or anyone, including his wife and his rebellious sixteen-year old daughter, stand in his way. But when an old high school friend unexpectedly shows up in their small town and a past secret is revealed, Pastor Wells’ constitutional crusade collides with an even greater fight—the fight for the heart and soul of his marriage, his daughter, and, even his own life. In this modern-day story of betrayal, forgiveness, and finally redemption, Adam Wells discovers, for the first time, the meaning of the story he’s been preaching all his life… and his desperate daughter understands what really is beyond the farthest star.

Award-winning authors, Bodie and Brock Thoene, have written an emotional and authentic drama based on a screenplay by Andrew Librizzi and now a major motion picture.

Depressing and Thick

This is the first Thoene piece that I have endured rather than enjoyed. From the start it was a dark themed story that just got darker as it proceeded. I endured it to the end, where it finally had a glimmer of the old Thoene stories. Unless I had a friend who really needed a good dose of depression, I just couldn’t recommend this to him. Some of their much earlier works of historical fiction contained the dark, sad realities of World War II, but themes of hope ran throughout them. I would highly recommend literally any of their earlier works…but not this one.

Something was missing

What made the experience of listening to Beyond the Farthest Star the most enjoyable?

this book had places that I think just dropped the story. I was really disappointed because Brock and Bodie Thoene are some of my all time favorite authors. This story just skipped around in a lot of places and was hard to keep track of the story line.
