Bayou Refuge

After nearly a decade, Charles, a small-town Louisiana pastor, finds himself back at Bayou Refuge, an old church campground and conference center that's been closed for years. He's been invited to lead a special event for people who are curious about what it means to know God. Even though he's surrounded by familiar faces, Charles begins to realize that everything is not as it seems. Soon it becomes clear that the conversations that Charles will have with these people about God may be the final conversation of their lives. As Charles wrestles with the seriousness of this responsibility, he must also consider what it means to trust God to the very end.

Bayou Refuge is an inspirational mystery that delves into what it truly means to know and trust God, the importance of overcoming past hurts, and the power of a Godly family.

Dr. Joshua Powell has written two other books. One is a collection of holiday plays and the other is a discipleship book. However, he's long had a passion for writing fiction and hopes that Bayou Refuge engages and inspires readers.
