Robert Beckstedt’s “Ian and Anton” - A Journey of Faith, Fate, and Finding Purpose

Acclaimed author Robert Beckstedt brings readers an unforgettable journey in his latest novel, “Ian and Anton.” This thought-provoking story explores the power of faith, the struggle between fate and free will, and the challenges of doing good in a complicated world.

At the heart of the novel is Ian Roberts, a successful entrepreneur whose life takes an unexpected turn after September 11, 2001. Seeking deeper meaning, he volunteers for a mission trip to South Africa—at the height of the AIDS epidemic—to help create a business that funds a hospice for those suffering from the disease. What begins as a charitable effort soon becomes a personal and spiritual awakening that challenges everything Ian thought he knew about faith, sacrifice, and purpose.

Guided by Anton and Esther, two wise and mystical mentors, Ian is forced to question not only his beliefs but also the way churches operate in modern society. As he wrestles with his own past and uncertain future, he must decide whether he is being pulled by destiny or if he truly has the power to choose his own path.
