A St. Catharine Parishioner, "Nazar's Journey" is Paul Mascia's first novel, and his first piece of historical fiction.It’s 2014, and ISIS has captured the Nineveh Plains region in Iraq. In the ensuing chaos, Nazar, a 14-year-old Christian boy, is forced to flee his village. He embarks on a perilous journey to find his father, also a Christian, who has gone missing in the fighting.
“God searches for us to invite us into a relationship with him,” said Mascia, adding that the book also explores the displacement of countless Iraqi people in the conflict. “Nazar is broken, weak, and wounded, but God gives him strength.”
“I wrote the book to create a work of art — something beautiful to draw people to Christ. Theresa and I love Jesus in prayer, Scripture, and the Eucharist. The book is a way to thank God for his blessings.”
Featuring nine expressionist masterpieces by internationally acclaimed Iraqi-American artist Qais Al-Sindy.
The author's proceeds will be donated to Aid to the Church in Need, which helps persecuted Christians and displaced peoples in global conflict situations.
Paul T. Mascia is a graduate of Yale University, where his senior thesis was an in-depth analysis of the reformer and Medieval mystic, St. Catharine of Siena. Paul and his wife, Theresa, reside in Columbus and have five adult children and seven grandchildren.
