A powerful, poetic novel about faith, truth, and the courage to see beyond the illusions of the world.
When David, a weary corporate worker, begins to question the system he serves - one that profits from deception and preys upon his own community - his world quietly unravels. Every day he sells "hope" wrapped in clever words, hiding contracts that will ruin the lives of those who trust him most. But when his conscience starts to ache louder than his pay check, David sets out on a journey that will test everything he's ever believed - about God, race, and the truth buried beneath centuries of lies.
As he confronts the colonial legacy of the church, the hidden history behind the name of Jesus, and the mystic voices of those forgotten by empire, David meets unlikely guides - a wise old man on a broken chair, a boy with a flat basketball, and a woman whose peace feels like heaven itself. Each encounter draws him deeper into a revelation that the truth was never lost... only hidden.
Hidden in the Heart of the Garden blends lyrical storytelling with spiritual depth, uncovering how systems built on illusion keep us divided - and how faith, when stripped to its core, can lead us back to the divine source of all things.
For readers of The Shack, The Alchemist, and Parable of the Sower, this is a story of awakening - a reminder that even in the ruins of the world's deception, the garden of truth still grows.
