Words and Actions - Paperback

"Come out!" Victor called again. "Talk with me face to face. I'm here, you don't have to stare at me from a distance! Show yourself!"
He heard his name once again: Victor!
"Stop shouting," called Victor. "Come forward. Face me!"
He got hit on the head by a stone.

As a child growing up in a loving household, Victor is happy and always does his best to do the right thing. But when his family moves and he has to change schools as a teenager, he unexpectedly has a hard time fitting in. One day, after suffering a bullying incident, Victor is shocked to discover that he has a dark and violent side...one that nearly results in the death of another boy. And even more alarming, he has to admit to himself that he enjoyed exacting revenge. That night, Victor receives a mystical visitation-one that terrifies and confuses him-and it's only the first of many to come.

As Victor comes into young manhood with all its anxieties and complexities in relationships, he struggles to understand his purpose in life and hopes that his continuing encounters with the Divine will help him sort it out. But there's a catch...the Divine isn't going to make it easy on him.

A lovely, engaging little parable on searching for meaning in life, Words and Actions posits that conscience can be our guide in navigating life's vicissitudes.
