Although the road of his life has been a winding one, Arthur Lough has always felt he was called to practice an authentic Christian faith. But when he loses his job of fourteen years as a Bible college instructor, the fifty-eight-year-old has no idea where to turn.
Discouraged from a career he loved so much, Arthur chooses to heal by embarking on a journey of faith-a pilgrimage of three thousand miles that would take him back to many of the important locations from throughout his life and experiences in Christian ministry.
Led by a spiritual thirst for meaning, Arthur's journey takes him from Northern Ireland to West Virginia to Virginia and the Midwest, as he reflects on the challenges, triumphs, and important lessons he has learned throughout his years.
The Long Road from Highland Springs is an inspirational story recounting one man's pilgrimage as he revisits people and places from his past in search of a renewed faith in God. The result is a testament to the power of faithfulness, even when making tough choices may lead to unpleasant consequences, and trusting that God's light will never lead his followers astray.
