Review: When a highway tragedy interrupts his carefree college career, Jim Boyd begins to question the Christian faith had had long taken for granted. Part of a religous framework all his life, he assumed faith was invulnerable. But now his Christianity seems to be good only on paper. Hampered by the stiffness of a shattered knee and unable to continue his studies, Jim takes on an assistant forest ranger's job in the lonely north woods. There he finds himself far from everything he ever associated with his Maker. Without church, without Christian friends, and it seems without God, his first genuine search for life's missing dimension begins. The anticipation of a hopeful romance ... the danger of rapidly spreading forest blaze ... the perils of mear-accidents on winding mountain roads ... the beauty of God's creation - these play major roles in Jim's spiritual quest.Abstract: The Silent Search portrays the hunger of today's seeking generation against the backdrop of the majestic northwoods. Its rapid pace action, true to life characters, and hard hitting message demonstrate that there is more to life than endless searching.
