David Louther is a college grad with a promising career future ahead of him. But the isolated Montana small-town of Carlsville, where David's Bible-believing cousin, Richard already resides, proves challenging for a young man with doubts concerning his own faith. Carlsville is a rigidly pious, god-fearing town, even by Bible-belt standards. Except for the presence of one small atheist family, whose presence is an enigma. Then David meets Jebson Proust, the charismatic pastor of Carlsville Faith Community Church, a man of dazzling persona who virtually owns the town and its budding university. Holding an immediate interest in the young man and his prospects, Proust eagerly draws David into the community. But all is not as it seems in Carlsville; the town holds a darker secret, which even most of its inhabitants are unaware of. David is about to learn Proust's idea of what it means to be "Eternally Secure" in Christ.
