Paul Turk's debut novel follows the lives of John and Anna Taylor, high school sweethearts who marry soon after John graduates from law school. By their mid-thirties, the Taylors have achieved the American dream- prestigious careers, a sprawling home in Palm Beach, and exotic vacations around the world.
Although John and Anna's relationship seemed to be made in heaven, a tragic death followed by an unexpected arrest puts them through the fires of hell. These stormy trials will test their confidence in God and the strength of their love. Only time will tell if their faith- and their marriage- will endure.

This is simply a wonderful and beautiful book. What impressed me was the superb flow of the book and the fascinating characters who populated the pages. The author left me wanting to know more about his characters. Even his minor characters were interesting. I think he has plenty to offer with them especially,Tess, Robert, Carlos and the pastor at St. Gregory's. Interesting characters that other books could be built around and I hope the author does so someday. Of course the main characters in the story, John and Anne - were fully fleshed out and people anyone would like to meet and get to know. I regret, alas, that they are fictional!The book works on many levels - a legal drama, a love story, a tragedy, an inspirational story and as a story of profound faith. It is also an entertainment with virtue.
One other aspect that was very appealing to me was that I was not "preached" at while reading the book. I have nothing against preaching but it can get in the way of a good story and become the focus. The faith and religious aspect of the book are there and it is the significant part of the lives of the characters. And yet while the faith of John and Anne is the central theme of the story it is done in a natural everyday way. A way that I think most people of faith naturally integrate their faith into their daily lives and also illustrates the need for faith and the role it plays in their lives with its joys, sorrows and challenges. It's artfully done and carefully portrayed..
I look forward to reading more of Mr. Turk's books as this one is his first and and an excellent first it is! It is apparent to me that the legal community's loss of Mr. Turk is decidedly literature's gain!

Faith Beyond The Trials edition by Paul Turk Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Paul Turk writes in a real way that makes you feel like you know the characters and can relate to them. The process this couple goes through is inspiring and faith filled. This is a book that you would feel confident and proud to recommend to family and friends. I have enjoyed this book tremendously and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes fiction based on real life situations. All without any compromising of morals! It would be nice to have more books like this on the market and even nicer to see more movies or tv series based on books like this! Great job!
Paul Turk's story of the fall and the redemption serves as a riveting reminder of how vulnerable we all are and how dependent we must be--that we live in a place where our fate is largely beyond our control but from which redemption is still possible. The author has an amazing handle on the twists and turns inherent in our legal system, and uses that insight to create spot-on believable interactions with truly human characters whom I'm sure I've met somewhere along the line. I kept turning the pages because I had to know how their crises would be reconciled, and I hope to read more about them or similar characters in future novels from this inspiring new author.
I have read two of the three books Paul Turk has written and I can't wait to see what unfolds in the third book, "Love on Trial".
The story of the lives of John and Ann Taylor is a blessing to see how their faith has helped them in the trials of life both in and out of the court room. Real life issues many of us can be faced with, but their hope in God to see them through and the blessing that comes from having a faith filled life is their saving grace.
I would recommend these books to anyone who is on a faith journey; they are enjoyable and inspiring.
As I read through this book, I kept thinking, "this is real life!". I followed the characters with interest as I became interested in their lives, their stories and wondering where they would end up as the story progressed. In a world of countless and mindless novels, how refreshing it was for me to get absorbed in a story with values, believability and a desire for more. I am planning on reading each of the future writings of this author. Thank you for quality writing and a a storyline that keeps my interest.
I have now read both of Paul Turk's novels and I must say that in my opinion Faith Beyond the Trials is the better of the two. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy his first novel because I did. This second one however, shows an improvement in his style of writing. The dialogue between the characters is more engaging and life-like. I found myself drawn into the scenes as I read, being a listener of real life conversations that sound like those I have every day. The way that Paul has woven his story is inspiring and believable, giving a glimpse into the life of a trial attorney with characters who resemble people who could work in your office, live on your street, or worship at your church. He has done all of that without losing his focus of presenting a personal and living faith in a God who loves us regardless of our circumstances.
I've just finished reading Paul Turk's three books of his "Trials" Trilogy. I don't usually read non-fictional books but these books have value beyond entertainment. Paul Turk uses his characters to model and instruct the reader how to face and deal with the trials of life. "Faith Beyond the Trials" is the first book of the trilogy. We are introduced to John and Anna Taylor as well as the other characters who interact and help one another grow in their faith, hope and love. I highly recommend "Faith Beyond the Trials".
I found this book to be engaging and easy to read...Not overly predictable; very informative regarding character and faith based rehab. It prompted me to research the topic, and I found myself quoting parts of it to a friend. Only warning- some dialogue is stiff. Recommended for those interested in legal dramas and affirming relationships.
