The Grand Design

Nothing in Odyssey is going the way anyone planned. A church can't stop squabbling, a lifelong dream falls flat, a quiet prayer turns into front-page news, and a happiness project ends in the emergency room - twice. Even the first Christians, it turns out, argued as much as anybody. So does God really have a plan when life feels like one big mess? Whit, Matthew, Emily, Connie and their friends are about to discover that faith isn't for perfect people - it's for imperfect people who keep trusting anyway. Secret codes, stolen bikes, stubborn hearts, one very mysterious red button... every tangle hides something worth finding. Could it be that behind all the muddle, Someone is still working out a grand design?
