Triumph of the Soul [Paperback]

Michael R. Joens (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

August 1999
Do you love a good movie or novel? From the mind of movie producer Michael R. Joens comes the magnificent World War II epic Triumph of the Soul. The result is a novel that reads like a film: crackling dialogue, fast-paced adventure, and heart-stirring romance. Joenss style is unlike any other in the Christian fiction market, Christian Retailing raved. [It could] raise the standards by which other fiction is judged.

Billy Hochreiter, as American as apple pie, doesnt take life or faith too seriously until the day his plane is shot down in a French forest. Here he encounters Colette, an intriguing woman whose influence on him is far reaching and profound. Rolf Schiller, decorated hero of the Reich, believes his heart died the day Katharina was killed. But the worst is yet ahead for the German soldier as he encounters disillusionment and bitter betrayal.

Billy and Rolf meet only in air combat, yet their stories are remarkably parallel as each seeks his own Triumph of the Soul.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In the aerial arena of World War II, American Billy Hochreiter and German Rolf Schiller clash briefly as Rolf sends Billy's fighter crashing, forcing Billy to eject. The two don't meet again in combat until later, but their journeys toward God run parallel; both lose the women they love and begin to question their roles in the deadly dance of war. Joens (The Dawn of Mercy) clearly depicts the separation of body and soul as pilots from both sides dehumanize each other in order to kill. Rolf's realization of Germany's decay and his own personal fall resonates, while the superficial attitude of the Americans rings false. For historical fiction collections.

Review

Joens' style is unlike any other that currently has an edge in the Christian fiction market.... Let the eyes become accustomed to the incredible vocabulary and innovative imagery, and it will be savored as rich, full-bodied writing that is treacherously laced with suspense.... [It could] raise the standards by which Christian fiction is judged -- Christian Retailing

[Joens is] well on his way to making his mark on Christian historical fiction -- Moody Press
