Reasons To Live, Reasons To Die

About the Book

Reasons to Live, Reasons to Die is a novel that explores how basic relationships between Christians are impacted by war. In 1944, Capt. Ben Phillips is a backsliding Christian stationed in Bristol, England, where he has a safe job as an order of battle specialist with U. S. Army Intelligence. Two months before D-Day, his expertise is discovered and admired by General Omar Bradley, who arranges for him to go to London and work on the D-Day invasion plans. There he meets and begins a romance with Catherine Clapton-Smith, the daughter of an Anglican priest and the widow of a titled R.A.F. pilot. The developing relationship is put on hold when just before D-Day Ben parachutes into Nazi-occupied France to destroy a bridge. Because of both his hatred of the Nazis who try to kill him and his love for the French Christians who try to help him, he is soon forced to examine his concept of God and his understanding of the second greatest commandment.
