The Burn

Scott Anderson and Tim Lusk live nearly parallel lives. They drive the same type of car, take their coffee the same way, know some of the same people, and believe that God, the Bible, and religion in general have no applicability in their modern world. When each man is offered an opportunity to break the law in order to significantly improve his life, both must decide whether to uphold their childhood values or do whatever it takes to get ahead. Each makes his decision and almost immediately, one man’s life drastically improves, while the other’s devolves into chaos. When the two men eventually arrive at the same disastrous end, both struggle with regret, resentment, anger, and depression while attempting to relate to and make sense out of the parable of the prodigal son. Will Scott and Tim remain bitter toward God, faith, and the general unfairness of the world, or will they recognize that their decisions and consequences have brought them to the exact spot where God wants them to be? In this inspirational tale, one decision sends the lives of two remarkably similar men in opposite directions where both must struggle with the fallout and a choice between bitterness and faith.
