Meet Morrie Schiller, an ordinary Christian who finds himself caught in the throes of his post-modern world. Try though he may, he seems not to fit in this Christian college scene. He laments when the girl he loves sees him only as a "brother", and he squirms as his best friend hounds him with politically right-wing religious views. Add to this, he is "plagued" by an unwanted feeling to convert to Catholicism. |

I am a writer with an Evangelical background who writes literary fiction about people in religious settings.My passions are philosophical, social commentary and to express my own religious experience through popular fiction. I believe I have written story that is dramatic, satirical, real and surreal and, hopefully challenging and insightful.

Professor (emeritus) of philosophy at Wheaton College I have recently read Wenzel's novel. He seems to have a writing gift: his sentence structure, his way with adjectives and sense of timing hold the reader's interest. The characters come alive, and the overall plot hangs together and is neatly resolved. He takes on engaging philosophical issues. The idea of friendship plays a large role in this novel about personal self discovery, and (antagonist) Jack Joplin's phenomenological method is utterly clever. The author's many allusions to Sartre, Gabriel Marcel and Kierkegaard are all appropriate. -Dec.6, 2005
