Dr. Eugene H. Strayhorn Jr. Releases “The Overcomer” — A Heartfelt Novel About Trauma, Redemption, and Generational Healing Through Faith

Retired physician and devoted Bible teacher Dr. Eugene H. Strayhorn Jr. brings his unique perspective on healing—both physical and spiritual—to his inspiring new novel, “The Overcomer.”  With a story rooted in emotional honesty and unwavering faith, this powerful book explores the lasting effects of trauma and the redemptive power of love, transparency, and the Word of God.

At the center of “The Overcomer” is Adam Masters, a man shaped by the painful legacy of an abusive childhood. Haunted by scars from his past, Adam has battled self-destructive behaviors and personal setbacks, but through his growing relationship with Jesus Christ and guidance from the Holy Spirit, he finds the strength to rise above his circumstances and transform his life.

Now, with the wisdom of hindsight and the urgency of love, Adam seeks to pass on what he has learned to his grandson, Casey. What begins as an honest recounting of Adam’s life becomes a turning point for both men, as Casey finally reveals a secret he has carried alone, one that threatens to derail his future. Together, they embark on a journey of healing, accountability, and spiritual restoration.

“The Overcomer” is a moving exploration of intergenerational trauma, biblical manhood, grace, and the courage it takes to tell the truth. Written with compassion and clarity, it is a story for anyone seeking hope beyond pain and purpose beyond regret.
