My third novel is a story that is partly autobiographical. A journey into faith by a young man who is searching for something, does not find it in political agitation, but begins to explore Christianity even though he has doubts.
Above all, this is a love story written in a reflective and descriptive style creating vivid images of life, experiences and the ambience in which the story takes place. The young mans journey takes him toward God and faith when faith is not a fashionable subject. It explores his doubts and disbeliefs as well as his realisation that there is a spiritual side to life and that his faith is a conduit to understanding that. He comes to understand what is the truth, in his eyes, and he sees his future clearly before him with the girl he falls in love with, Jenufla. It is an exploration into those things that are beyond comprehension but which humankind desires to understand. It should appeal to Christians and those of no faith but who seek only to understand why they are here.
It climaxes in a dramatic encounter with his future in the middle of a blinding snowstorm where he comes face to face with God, the Truth and his own fallability. The reality of Jesus is revealed.
