Lost and Found

About the Book

Nothing in his quiet English village life could have prepared William Watson Williams for a request that his 18-year-old daughter, Becky, be allowed to go to a Mission-station on a faraway South Sea island to teach English to the natives. Little does William know that his decision will not only turn his life upside down but also lead to the revelation of a secret about Christianity that has been purposely hidden by Church officials for centuries. The disclosure will not only shake the foundation of William's own personal and family life but also challenge the Christian Church to the core.

LOST AND FOUND is truly a story of biblical proportion, taking the reader on a global journey . . . from a small village in England...to the exotic Feejee Islands... to the great southern continent of Australia.
