Set in the lush wilderness of America in the 1600s, Smith & Priest continues the adventures of professional French educator Henry Priest and his adopted son, Zoel Smith. After crossing the Atlantic Ocean to join French settlers in Quebec City, Henry and Zoel hope to build their fur trade business and share the Gospel.
The duoalong with partners, Josh and Yancytravels south to the Connecticut River Valley to expand their trapping and fur-trading business. Developing good relationships with the Abenaki villagers along the river leads to a business boom. Henry also teaches biblical principles and French to those interested in learning, while Zoel grows into his new role in the business.
But their personal and private lives change as they face new challenges and opportunities. Henry marries and slowly begins moving away from the fur-trading business. He believes Gods vision for his life includes funding and creating a mission on a large lake south of the snow-capped mountains. Here they would care for sick and abandoned Indians while sharing the message of the Gospel.
Zoel must make a hard choice. Should he stay with Henry to help with the mission, or use his God-given skills and strengths on a different career path?
Combining vivid historic detail with the Christian faith, Smith & Priest is an inspiring journey through the New World.
