What would happen if you did all good, all the time? How far would you go to save yourself and others from sin? Would you be willing to take the blame for another's crime?

In this psychological thriller, one young man's extreme acts of selflessness lead to his astonishing fate.

Somewhere between the dark mind of a penitent and the radiant heart of a saint lies the soul of The Good Christian - a novella that will leave you both horrified and inspired by one gentleman's extraordinary commitment to heavenly virtue in a world gone mad.

This enduring tale is about an individual who works 18 hours a day in retail/service sector jobs. He is very polite and always tries to act properly and help others, but is quickly taken advantage of by exploitative people because he is something of a "pushover" who always concedes blame to himself. And then the real trouble begins...

For those of you who find yourself exasperated by mean people but choose to take the path of humble endurance and to honor the example set by Christ to compassionately face the sins of man, this book will have significant meaning for you. But...like the story of Jesus, there is nothing sugar-coated about it and it does not aim to comfort you with fluffy spiritual new age mumbo jumbo. This is a heart-rending read.

From the publisher, PhantaSea Books:

PhantaSea Books is proud to present The Good Christian - a psychological thriller whose protagonist assumes the blame for everything, just as Christ willingly carried the burden of man's sins upon his back in a bid to secure their salvation before the heavenly father. The theme explores the apparent koan, or paradox, of Christianity, whereby one gladly rushes towards hardships, sacrifices, and ultimately death as a path to enlightenment, and in ultimate trascendence of man's distressing mortal predicament.

The actual read, however, is far simpler than that. It's an everyday story whose theology is implicit in its plot. In a style redolent of Good Will Hunting, it follows the delicate relationship between doctor and patient, and the polarization that can sometimes stand painfully between them.
