The Curse of the Father Chad Daniel

After the suicide of his father, Chad Daniel finds himself on the other side of the world, investigating the mysteries behind the Aokigahara in Japan, a forest known for the lives lost inside it. There Chad is forced to confront a ghost from his past as well as the forces out to destroy his future."The Curse of the Father is a thought-provoking and engaging message to people from all walks of life." -Joyce MeyerThere is a secret in the forest surrounding the quiet town of Aokigahara; many visitors kill themselves deep inside it. The locals don't want to talk about it, and they despise the forest's new nickname: The Suicide Forest. But when an obscure Japanese handbook is found at the scene of countless recent suicides in the forest, Chad Daniel dares to investigate the haunted Aokigahara, all the while carrying his own emotional wounds left by the death of his father. Chad is joined by three others: a TV producer who doesn't believe in ghosts, an aspiring actress who is as beautiful as she is superstitious, and a brazen guide who has a secretive history to the forest and it's inhabitants. They venture off the beaten path and into the unknown, but when the actress vanishes, Chad fears this endeavor may be more than what he bargained for. As the sun sets and darkness settles over the forest, a dark and seductive voice whispers to Chad, beckoning him to join his father on the other side of eternity. The Curse of the Father is as thrilling as it is poignant - a chilling tale of life after loss. Chad Daniel expertly weaves the tragic suicide of his father and his real-life journey to the Suicide Forest with hints of supernatural metaphor to communicate his testimony of redemption in a compelling and fresh way. The Curse of the Father serves not only as a thrilling story, but also as a narrative in which Chad candidly reveals significant parallels between his thrilling journey through the Aokigahara and the pitfalls we face in our walk of life.
