Hidden Treasure

Front Cover
Crossway Books, 2000 - 250 pages

Gold may abound in the town's mine shafts and sandy soil, but that's not where Goldfield's true treasure lies.

The Skinners do not want to be in Goldfield, Nevada. The weather is harsh. Sin is glorified. Greed is rampant. Spiritual sensitivity is scarce. And kids grow up with sand in their eyes and gold fever in their bones. The Lord, however, leads in mysterious ways, and it is clear that the Skinners can't leave just yet.

Not with O. T. having to find his friend who is out treasure-hunting in the middle of the desert.

Not with Dola Mae needing to search for a missing child and still feed dinner to 75 hungry miners.

And especially not with the Rokkers clinging to them and their faith as they face yet another struggle.

And yet as the Skinners grapple with each situation--and their own life-and-death circumstances--they are reminded of what riches they have in their faith even as they discover unexpected treasure in their Goldfield friends.
