Truth and Evil: A Historical Fiction Novelette Set During WW2

TRUTH AND EVIL

A THREE-TIME AWARD-WINNING CHRISTIAN HISTORICAL FICTION NOVELLA SET DURING WORLD WAR II

DURING THE HEIGHT OF WORLD WAR II, A YOUNG GERMAN SOLDIER COMMITS A GRAVE CRIME AND IS KILLED MOMENTS LATER. WHEN HE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH GOD, HE EXPECTS ETERNAL CONDEMNATION. INSTEAD, HE IS SENT BACK TO EARTH.

HIS SENTENCE IS NOT FORGIVENESS, BUT UNDERSTANDING.

IN THIS DARK AND GRIPPING CHRISTIAN FICTION NOVELLA, THE UNNAMED SOLDIER IS FORCED TO RELIVE HIS ACTIONS ACROSS DIFFERENT ITERATIONS OF HIS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. TRAPPED IN A HELL OF HIS OWN MAKING, HE MUST CONFRONT BOTH THE EVIL WITHIN HIMSELF AND THE DIVINE POTENTIAL REQUIRED TO OVERCOME IT.
AS HE COMES FACE TO FACE WITH THE FATHER OF ALL LIES, THE SOLDIER IS FORCED TO WRESTLE WITH HUMANITY’S CAPACITY FOR EVIL—AND THE TERRIFYING RESPONSIBILITY OF CHOOSING TRUTH. REDEMPTION, IF IT IS POSSIBLE AT ALL, WILL REQUIRE COURAGE, HUMILITY, AND A WILLINGNESS TO SEE HIMSELF CLEARLY.

WILL THE YOUNG SOLDIER FIND A WAY TO REDEEM HIS SPIRIT, FORGIVE HIMSELF, AND ALTER THE COURSE OF HIS FATE? OR WILL HE REMAIN FOREVER BOUND TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS CHOICES?

THIS THOUGHT-PROVOKING WORLD WAR II CHRISTIAN HISTORICAL FICTION EXPLORES THEMES OF REDEMPTION, GOOD VERSUS EVIL, THE SACREDNESS OF EVERY HUMAN LIFE, AND THE QUIET WHISPER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. TOLD FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A SOLDIER SHAPED BY PROPAGANDA AND FORCED INTO OPPOSITION WITH HIS OWN COUNTRY, THE STORY REFLECTS OUR SHARED VULNERABILITY TO TEMPTATION—AND THE TRUTH THAT REMAINS THE ONLY ANTIDOTE.

PERFECT FOR READERS OF DARK BUT MEANINGFUL CHRISTIAN FICTION, RELIGIOUS HISTORICAL FICTION, AND WORLD WAR II MILITARY FICTION, THIS AWARD-WINNING NOVELLA CHALLENGES, UNSETTLES, AND ULTIMATELY INSPIRES.

A WARNING FROM THE AUTHOR
THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY DARK AND CHALLENGING STORY, INTENDED ONLY FOR MATURE READERS. WHILE IT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT STORY I HAVE WRITTEN, IT IS ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT. THIS WORLD WAR II CHRISTIAN HISTORICAL FICTION CONFRONTS BOTH THE BEST AND WORST OF HUMANITY—TWO EXTREMES THAT ARE INSEPARABLY CONNECTED.
