The Far Country Home : Finding Peace Beyond the World's Promise

De: Laurence Muzembi

Narrado por: Bill Jacobson

In the quiet rhythm of a carpenter's workshop, a family's legacy is about to be tested.

Liam, a young man who feels suffocated by the endless repetition of his father's craft, yearns for a different kind of peace—one he believes can be found only in the vibrant, sprawling city far from home. He leaves behind the weight of his father's love and the silent reproach of his brother, Mark, to pursue a life of freedom and indulgence.

But the peace he thought he could buy proves to be a fleeting illusion. As his inheritance dwindles and his so-called friends disappear, Liam finds himself in a pigsty of his own making, broken and alone. Humbled by his mistakes, he begins the long, painful journey home, rehearsing a plea for mercy he believes he doesn't deserve.

What awaits him is a homecoming he never imagined, a feast of prodigal grace that challenges his brother's sense of justice and shatters his own perceptions of love. But the story doesn't end with the feast. It is here that the true work begins—the slow, patient, and beautiful work of mending a shattered family, one careful cut and one perfect joint at a time.

The Far Country Home is a powerful, modern retelling of a timeless story, exploring what happens after the feast. It is a testament to the enduring power of forgiveness, the quiet strength of family, and the profound truth that the greatest work we will ever do is to build a table where everyone has a seat.
