In a world full of suffering and sorrow, it’s not a question of whether we will have crosses in life. But it’s a matter of how we will accept them. In our deepest sorrows and our hardest sufferings, it is so important that we grow closer to God, and turn to Him for help rather than turning away from him.
In my work of fiction, "Never Alone," this is what Thomas Nansen has to learn. This 30,000 word spiritual drama exploring faith, grief, and redemption, follows a young man doubting his faith. When tragedy strips him of everything he loves—his family and his faith—he is left with nothing but anger and despair.
Once raised in a devout Catholic home, Thomas gradually abandons God as grief hardens his heart. What begins as desperation turns into greed, and soon he is living the life of a criminal. With each choice he makes, he risks losing himself completely.
"Never Alone" is a story of struggle and sorrow, showing that God is near even amidst the darkest trials and that he is always willing to forgive.
