Trust on Trial

""I would encourage anyone struggling with doubt to read Trust on Trial. This book presents the facts of our faith in a captivating way as a courtroom drama. G. S. Gerry does more than just list the evidence for God, he presents this evidence in a way that anyone can understand and engage with as we examine the case. The verdict is in, and the proof is there: God is trustworthy!"" --Joel Hastings, Pastor, Community Bible Church, Brooksville, Florida ""Trust on Trial has taken me to a place that I didn't expect to go. After reading this compelling yet emotional story, I found myself entirely captivated by the blend of courtroom drama, personal spiritual journey, and the importance of everyone discovering their relationship with God. G. S. cleverly weaves Scripture into the storyline, demonstrating that even the most intense people in life have a spiritual connection to something. A must-read for anyone who loves a great courtroom drama with a beautiful blend of spirituality. Five stars!"" --Patrick Greenwood, author of Shores of Okinawa ""G. S. Gerry has crafted a profound, thought-provoking, self-reflective, and potentially life-changing page turner with his novel, Trust on Trial."" --Jessika Sanders, coauthor of In His Hands: Prayers for Your Child or Baby in a Medical Crisis ""through a bold and imaginative framework, Gerry explores the complexity of human faith, betrayal, and redemption by staging a trial where ""Earnest Trust"" is accused of fraud and breach of contract...Reading this book felt like watching a courtroom thriller crash headfirst into a TED Talk with a pastor and a stand-up comic on the bench. And somehow, it works. The writing style is punchy, dramatic, and often hilarious, with a rhythm that sways between poetic intensity and playful banter. His characters, Earnest Trust, the peacock-like prosecutor Curtis Reed, and the soulful defender Harvey Shield, are vivid, layered, and unforgettable. But underneath the flair and snappy dialogue is a serious meditation on pain, vulnerability, and where we choose to place our trust, people, institutions, or God. I couldn't look away. This book struck nerves I didn't know were still raw. It reminded me of past betrayals, yes, but also of why I continue to trust, despite it all. If you've ever questioned your faith in people, in systems, in God or if you've been burned and are afraid to try again, this book is for you. It's for the skeptical, the hopeful, and the broken-hearted. Trust on Trial isn't light reading, but it's real. It's funny, aching, bold, and brutally honest. It got under my skin and made me think harder about something I too often take for granted --Literary Titan Review
