TRUTH AND EVIL

A Christian Historical Fiction Novelette Set During WW2


During the height of World War 2, a young German soldier on the Russian front is unexpectedly killed moments after committing a heinous and unforgivable crime. After his soul is hurled through the aether, he finds himself surrounded by blinding light and standing before God to explain his actions and face judgement.

In this powerful WW2 Christian historical fiction, instead of condemning the young man’s soul, God mysteriously sends him back to earth to relive the moment until he can change the outcome and come to understand the nature of truth and evil.

The challenging spiritual fiction novelette follows the young soldier’s harrowing journey as he faces off against the father of all lies and confronts the worst and best of humanity—our capacity to commit unspeakable evil and our potential to embody the divine courage needed to combat that evil and restore balance in the world.

As God slowly rebuilds the young man’s soul through his excruciating journey across several iterations of a living hell, the young soldier becomes greater than just a man, and his tribulations help change the entire course of history as we know it.

Excerpt from "The Flower from the Garbage."


          "Why must I insist on learning all things the hard way? How much time and discomfort would I save if I could simply heed the wisdom and warnings of all those who came before me?
           For thousands of years, humanity has been learning and articulating the art of living well. And yet, I constantly insist on living my life like the plot of all tragedies: a hero laid low by his own fatal flaws."
