The Author

Thomas Trese grew up in Michigan, but now lives in Fort Worth in the U.S. state of Texas. His interest in to how the mind and brain functioned began in teenage years at high school. This desire to understand the inner thought process in this area intensified as he went through the various academia stages, they being attending the University of Michigan and Medical school which cumulated in a neurology residency. Shortly after that residency he up sticks with his family and headed for a sunnier setting in Texas, becoming the first neurologist of a new medical school there.

Over the years Thomas’ professional career path further developed as he entered private practice, serving as chief of staff at a main hospital and being on the national board of examiners of neurologists and psychiatrists.

It’s probably fair enough to say, that while Thomas’ professional life was flourishing his personal life for various reasons started to fray at the edges, Thomas would best describe it as a midlife crisis. But out of this testing time in his life surrounding marital issues a more modified Thomas Trese emerged as spirituality began to have a more profound affect not only on his day-to-day life, but on his whole approach to how he conducts life now as opposed to the past. Was this a Saul to Paul moment on the road to Damascus in his life?

Today Thomas is married to Dianne his third wife, who he describes as his wonderful wife, he goes on to say family life now is blended with six grandchildren and a young niece. Thomas retired some five years ago, but still has a medical license which allows him to do telemedicine monitoring of neurosurgical cases albeit remotely. And, in addition to writing fiction he has learnt to play steel guitar and become an exceptional cook in the kitchen. I’m led to believe his meatloaf causes quite a stir around the dining room table. I wonder if on his worldly travels he advocates to others around him his newfound culinary expertise. Maybe he’ll write a cookbook!

The Book

The Heroes

When you look at this book, you’ll quickly establish there are three sections, Nashville, Midland/Odessa, and Chicago. Why the name to these three sections well that’s simply Thomas Trese telling you where the plot and the actions are primarily located. Within in each section there are numerous small chapters portraying a whole host of mini events, not only foretelling the accounts what’s going on in that point of the book but revealing some very interesting characters who bring their own characteristics to the overall theme of the book.

The story in brief is awork of religious fiction, offering the real faith journeys of ordinary people like a janitor, waitress, Uber driver, pizza delivery person and a social worker. It shares a message of faith moulded on adversity, teambuilding, plus reveals how God gifts the chosen as opposed to choosing those who are already prepared. 

So, what does a restauranteur from Seattle, an oil field foreman from west Texas and a burnt-out Chicago cop have in common, not much to start with but these three characters and seven other everyday Americans all connect in Nashville. Why Nashville? Well, all these individuals have answered an inner call to action that is to route out evil in their hometowns. There actions have caught the attention of a Christian TV network that brings them to Nashville for the Faith Hero Awards. Stephanie, Cody and Danny come in to contact with a spurious TV faith healer in Nashville, human and drug traffickers in Texas, and racial hate groups in Chicago while dealing with their own personal dilemmas around anger and control issues and substance abuse. Well, get your teeth into this lot is all I say.

The book with all its two hundred pages is exceptionally well composed, the characters and the narrative blend well to tell a story that for me is an easy read. This is a book that you can grapple with before turning the night light out. 

A great read. Well done, Tom.
