Trial By Tribulation

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.
