BIGFORK, Mont. – Montana author Eugene H. Strayhorn Jr. has released The Overcomer, a Christian novel centered on faith, redemption, and healing. Rooted in biblical themes, the story follows Adam Masters, a man confronting the scars of an abusive childhood while seeking to guide his grandson toward a better future.
Strayhorn, a Christian writer and advocate for faith-based healing, draws from real-life experiences of resilience to craft a compelling narrative. The novel explores how faith in God, love, and forgiveness can help overcome life’s deepest wounds. He emphasizes that “with God’s help, people can overcome childhood traumas, even those that are the most severe.”
At the heart of The Overcomer is a question of spiritual responsibility: What kind of concern does a grandfather have for his grandson, and how does he express it? Strayhorn’s storytelling brings this relationship to life, offering readers a reflection on grace, divine intervention, and personal transformation.
The book is now available at major retailers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
