Trial By Tribulation, (Paperback)

Basil Derwent relates his traumatic experiences as a husband, father, and as a highly placed official of a quasi-Governmental organization during the mid-1930's, as the threat of a major conflict with Nazi Germany becomes increasingly apparent. He comes to realise that the many trials and tribulations with which he is beset are - to some extent at least - a divine Test through which he must pass, as he faces each new day and comes to increasingly rely upon Almighty God for guidance, patience, fortitude, and peace of mind, in sometimes harrowing circumstances. We can share with him in these trials as, together with his passionate wife, Esme, and their teenage son, Nicholas, they each triumph over their individual adversities and are then inspired to undertake upon the daunting task of individual and concerted Christian witness, to the extent of forsaking all of their own personal aims and aspirations.
