Book Summary

  Grief buried him. Faith might save him.

When Michael Judson’s younger brother dies in a freak shooting, everything unravels—faith, family, and his fragile sense of who he thought he was. What began as a normal afternoon turned into a nightmare, and now Michael stares into the eyes of a brother he couldn’t save… and wonders if he was the one who pulled the trigger.

His Eyes is a powerful coming-of-age novel that explores the weight of guilt, the ache of grief, and the flickering light of hope. As Michael struggles through bullying, a mother slipping into addiction, and an estranged father who reopens old wounds, it’s an unlikely group—homeless wanderers, small-town believers, and one steadfast neighbor—who show him where to find comfort in the chaos.

This deeply moving story captures what it means to question everything you’ve believed. Honest, heart-wrenching, and ultimately redemptive, His Eyes is for anyone who’s ever cried out “why?” and waited in the silence for an answer.


Let Michael’s story change yours.
