WILLIAM CASPERSTONE, I PRAY YOU FIND THE THINGS
THAT EVERY MAN SEEKS; THE GOSPEL, THE GIRL, THE GOLD.
It starts with a mystery.
35 years ago William Casperstone gave his son a stuffed lion, a colorful creature with a strong heart to encourage him through a difficult time. Only after he passes it on to his own daughter do they discover that the lion's strong heart is in fact a single gold nugget.
There was no gold where William Casperstone grew up, only the priceless imagination of youth. So how did a gold nugget get into the stuffed animal he gave his son so many years ago? Pressed by his now grown son and his grand-daughter, Cubby, William Caspertstone struggles to recall the details.
Ailing in an assisted-living home for the elderly, William knows he does not have much time. What he does have is a tall tale, marred by feeble memories and mingled with an active imagination; a fantastic tale about how his search for gold in the Black Hills turned into a pursuit of the beautiful seamstress, Cassidy Croft, and how that journey brought him, desperately, to the gospel.
William and his son, both widowers, make a meaningful bond as the tale turns from the gold, to the girl, to the gospel. Their bond is not based on the struggles they share but on the good news of the gospel and how it found each of them empty handed and with nothing to chase.
Retold from the point of view of the main character's son, All the World's Gold is a story about men learning the true extent of their own depravity and the true extent of the good news.
