Mark Thaman's Newly Released "Papa's Promise: Thomas's Journey from Doubt to Belief" is a Beautiful Tale of a Doubting Disciple's Salvation
"Papa's Promise: Thomas's Journey from Doubt to Belief" from Christian Faith Publishing author Mark Thaman is a compelling, sensitive, and uncompromisingly graceful novel that chronicles the spiritual journey of Thomas, a disciple of Christ who doubted what his own eyes saw.
MEADVILLE, Pa., April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Papa's Promise: Thomas's Journey from Doubt to Belief": an elegantly written spiritual coming-of-age novel, is the creation of published author Mark Thaman, a writer and retired HR professional who lives in Miamisburg, Ohio, with his wife. He holds dual degrees in philosophy and English, and a master's in business.
Thaman writes, "Thomas yearns to believe in Papa's angels, to see the unseen, hear the unheard, touch that which lies just beyond the ether of understanding. Yet, he is afraid that to do so will plunge him into the same deep place of madness that afflicted his father—seeing angels in the olive trees, and imagining the boy, Jesus, emerging from the caves along the dead waters.
"Even after he becomes a disciple of the itinerant preacher from Nazareth, and sees the glorious miracles, hears the stories of healing and comfort, he holds back, afraid to commit, afraid to lose himself in Jesus's calling to unconditional love. In the end, Thomas realizes that while his struggle for understanding matters, salvation demands acceptance of the persistent doubt that beats within the heart of faith."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Mark Thaman's new book is an admirable work of unflinching insight and liberating truth, both wholly human and deeply divine, that vibrates with compassion, understanding, and forgiveness.
Thaman provides an unfathomable service to doubting believers and believing doubters who struggle with the limitations of faith that leans on their own understanding.
