Jacque, a French army medic in the trenches of WWI, deserts his platoon and joins a Christian monastery. There, he deals with problems of good and evil, faith, God, cowardice and heroism.

Only by telling his story and coming to terms with it honestly can he resolve these dilemmas. Jacque's tale takes him through the trenches of WWI, and into the monastery where he flees the violence he can no longer endure.

"The Courage of The Cowardly Soul" tells the story of one man finding himself amidst the ashes of a divided Europe.

This story is based on the author's deep reflection and study of the human condition. It's an attempt to answer some of the biggest questions in life such as: "How should one live?"; "What is the nature of good and evil?" and "How do we find meaning in a chaotic world?"

With this story, the author uses artistry of language to convey the truest aspects of life.
