Introduction. "Testament of Faith" is one of those stories that many publisher's liked, but kept rejecting. "I definitely like this story - it has a well-developed mood and atmosphere ..." wrote one publisher. "I enjoyed your writing style, story progression, and apt description. The setting was great!" from another. I tried very hard to take the advice that was given and re-wrote chunks of the story many times. It was never quite right, though, and this became my most rejected story, a total of 19 rejections. I'll not give up on this work, though. Feeling that I had strayed too far from the central storyline in an effort to please everyone with a suggestion, I went back to the original version and fixed what I personally thought needed work. I'll let the readers make the final call.
