This is the heart-warming story of young David Aspinall, a true prodigal, that learns of the mercy and grace of God and the love of family only after his brush with the law and an arduous journey through the wilds of Africa. David, like many young men, believes that life back home with his family is just not exciting enough for him and that he will surely do well by leaving it all behind and seeking his fortune and adventure in far-off exotic lands. He learns too quickly though that the world is not as inviting and agreeable as he imagined. David soon meets with hardship and life-threatening dangers when he finds himself stranded in Africa but God has other plans for David. By His grace, David eventually finds both his God and his way back home to the loving family that has patiently prayed for his safe return. This is a wonderful, life-affirming tale illustrating the goodness of God through the motif of a story which parallels the 32nd Psalm. Your whole family will enjoy the message taught through the story of David Aspinall-- The Wanderer in Africa.
