Beyond Our Horizons

A shattered life. A buried secret. An adventure that will change everything.

Chad Harison’s world lies in ruins. Betrayed by someone he trusted, his once promising future has crumbled, leaving him grappling with depression, anxiety, and a crisis of faith. When his older brother Tim, a celebrated historian working on a mysterious dig site in Mauritania–at the edge of the north-western Sahara Desert–offers him a lifeline, Chad accepts. 

Alongside Tim’s fiancée, Charlotte Espanzia, a rising star in the music world, the trio set out on an expedition that will test their resolve and reframe their perspectives.

As the sands of Mauritania reveal secrets hidden for millennia, Chad and Tim begin to grapple with profound questions to do with their beliefs, their purpose, and the boundaries of what they once thought possible.

This journey stretches them to their limits as they face unparalleled challenges of the heart and mind, navigating unforeseen obstacles.  Conventional thinking is tested, and their courage is driven to the edge.

Filled with discovery, danger, and profound reflection, Beyond Our Horizons blends faith, mental health, and breathtaking archaeological discoveries into an exhilarating adventure that defies expectations and expands the boundaries of what they believe to be possible.
