The Third Servant
In the parable of the third servant Matthew tells us that he was cast into the night for failing to enrich his master. Matthew does not tell us, however, what happened to that unfortunate servant after that. '"The Third Servant" speculates on what might have happened in the days, months and years following that fateful night. It is a novel of faith lost and faith found; an adventure of the mind, body and soul that one reader called "A 21st Century version of Ben Hur..."

About the author
Mike Billington
5 books41 followers I'm the son of a Protestant minister and an engineer who spent nearly 50 years as a journalist before retiring. Since retirement I've continued writing and currently have seven books on Kindle and am working on a couple more.
As a reporter I covered a wide variety of stories ranging from the Love Canal environmental disaster to the Rwandan civil war, unrest in Haiti, the invasion of Panama, Operation Desert Storm, hurricanes Andrew, Hugo, Gilbert, Katrina and Rita as well as immigration issues in Mexico and drug trafficking in Florida. With two other colleagues I investigated police abuse of the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act for which we received the Southern Journalism Award for Investigative Reporting. I am the recipient of more than 40 other awards including the National Conference of Christians and Jews Brotherhood Medal for an undercover investigation of white-power extremists and the Mark Twain Award from the Associated Press for a lengthy series that forced Delaware officials to institute prenatal care programs for low-income women.
I am a Vietnam veteran (two tours, first as a rifleman in the 9th Infantry Division and the second as a light weapons infantry adviser to the Vietnamese Army's 46th Regiment.) My awards and decorations include the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman's Badge. I was also twice decorated by the Vietnamese government.
I live in Spain where I write daily and manage to squeeze in a few hours a week to paint (watercolors, acrylics and oils.)
