(Isstories Editorial):- New York City, New York Oct 8, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – The Chest of Visions: Secrets of Caperston by Tim Ferguson has been released, offering a distinctive narrative that blends imaginative storytelling with themes of faith, equality, and the search for meaning. Originally developed as a creative tool for engaging youth in discussions of belief, the book presents an allegorical reimagining of gospel messages in a parallel universe called Caperston.
The story begins with a soccer game between two groups: the underprivileged Mountain People and the privileged Valley People. When the Mountain youth prevail, Mattpaul, a young Valley resident, begins to recognize that those his culture has dismissed as inferior are, in fact, equals. This awakening sets the stage for two central themes: discovering the presence of a “Caring Creator” and confronting social inequality between groups. Through letters exchanged between Caperston and Earth, readers are invited to reflect on how these lessons resonate with their own lives.
The positive response to this story encouraged Ferguson to write two sequels that continue the dialogue between Caperston and Earth. Together, the series explores what it means for diverse worlds and cultures to collaborate, ask questions, and grow in understanding.

The book has its origins in Ferguson’s decades of youth ministry and community engagement. Beginning as a series of letters posted online for a youth group in New York, the story grew into a published work that has since been revised with expanded character development and cultural detail. The revised edition also includes lessons and discussion guides for youth leaders, making it a resource for study groups as well as personal reading.
Illustrated by José Carlos Gutiérrez, the book combines visual storytelling with thoughtful narrative, aiming to capture the imagination of younger audiences while prompting deeper reflection among adult readers.
“Tim wants to give youth a fresh perspective on Christ’s message and he succeeds,” writes Frank Tangredi in the book’s foreword.
