The Boy From Nain: The Man of Light

What if two miracles were connected within one extraordinary life?

In the dusty hills of ancient Galilee, a young boy stands at the crossroads of self-destruction and destiny. Benjamin of Nain is a despondent teen born with a withered hand — mocked since childhood, abandoned by faith, and drowning his pain in anger and alcohol. At the risk of extreme punishment, he has turned to thievery and walked away from God — until one sleepless night leads him into the Galilean hills, where he witnesses a powerful moment that will change everything he thought he knew about himself, about light, and about the One who made him.

The Boy From Nain is a richly imagined fictional journey inspired by two of Scripture's most breathtaking miracles: the Transfiguration on the mountain (Matthew 17:1–5) and the raising of the widow's son (Luke 7:11–17). Cy Young weaves a story of faith, loss, and divine purpose that reminds us redemption rarely looks the way we expect it to.

Grounded in biblical truth and brought to life with vivid storytelling, this novel invites readers to see familiar passages with fresh eyes — and to consider that every miracle has a story living between the lines of Scripture.
