What a fascinating story this is! It is about a former boxer named Robeson who is hardened after dealing with his drunken father and difficult life situations. He joins the army and serves as a chaplain. Years later his wisdom is needed when his son Terry sees action in the military, his daughter-in-law Barbara seems like a zombie, ignoring Terry’s and her son Doc, and he must deal with a daughter who has gone wayward. When tragic news arrives, things get worse and soon Robeson’s faith in the God he has trusted is severely tested.

Robeson is an interesting character and I like how he is portrayed as the “glue” that keeps the family together. His devotion to his grandson Doc is to be commended.

To the author: I enjoyed reading this story very much and read it straight through. It kept my attention with its drama and realistic settings and problems of life. It also shows a person who holds onto his faith in God. It features a funny scene I liked in which Robeson’s grandson won’t eat his breakfast and asks Robeson if Jesus ever played baseball. Robeson replies that he doesn’t think so but he knows Jesus did eat his breakfast! This script is Dove approved for ages twelve plus. It has earned five Doves from us, our highest rating.
