The book
Follow the White Fox is an illustrated story that traces a boy’s life through time and the experiences that shape him — inwardly and outwardly. At the heart of his transformation is a bond he forms with an unusual white fox: a presence who walks beside him through moments of fear, heartbreak, wonder, and change.
The white fox is no ordinary companion. Neither fully of this world nor apart from it, the fox moves with a calm and knowing stillness, becoming his guide, his comfort, and — above all — his friend.
Follow the White Fox invites readers of all ages to reflect on their own journeys, to consider that which is unseen that accompanies and transforms them, and to listen more deeply to the unfolding story within their own lives.
You will be able to explore the story and its illustrations on our Instagram and Facebook pages. We would love for you to order an old-fashioned hardcover copy. After all, this book was meant to be read — alone or with someone you love — by a warm fireplace, tucked into a cozy nook on a rainy day, or wherever you love to lose yourself in a story.
The collection
This is currently a collection of one. I have hopes to add to it in the near future — more specifically, I have twelve stories to tell.
In a way, I’m speaking this into being by calling it a collection from the very beginning — or, to put it another way, by "calling things that are not as though they were."
The author & illustrator
Ben Goodgame is an American doctor, artist, and storyteller who believes that the best journeys are the ones you don’t plan. He is triple board-certified in Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Intensive Care, but his first degree was in Environmental Design in the school of architecture — a hint at his lifelong love of creating and drawing.
Ben grew up in Uganda, studied in Texas, and now lives with his family in New Zealand. His life has been shaped by adventure, heartbreak, healing, and the constant companionship of the Holy Spirit. Follow the White Fox is the culmination of twelve years of hidden work — painting, writing, and learning to listen more closely to the quiet voice that leads us through the greatest challenges and into hope.
Though not a memoir, this story carries threads from Ben’s own life — a childhood spent wide-eyed in wild places, a marriage that was rebuilt, a family that crossed oceans to find space for restoration.
Ben is a husband, a father, an adventurer, and a true believer in the power of story to change people's lives — the most beautiful story being the gospel of Jesus Christ.
