“Rubart will leave readers inspired . . .” —Publishers Weekly STARRED review for The Long Journey to Jake Palmer
What if You Woke up One Morning and the Darkest Parts of Yourself Were Gone?
Toren Daniels vanished eight months back, and his wife and kids have moved on—with more than a little relief. Toren was a good man but carried a raging temper that often exploded without warning. So when he shows up on their doorstep out of the blue, they’re shocked to see him alive. But more shocked to see he’s changed. Radically.
His anger is gone. He’s oddly patient. Kind. Fun. The man he always wanted to be. Toren has no clue where he’s been but knows he’s been utterly transformed. He focuses on three things: Finding out where he’s been. Finding out how it happened. And winning back his family.
But then shards of his old self start to rise from deep inside—like the man kicked out of the NFL for his fury—and Toren must face the supreme battle of his life.
In this fresh take on the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, James L. Rubart explores the war between the good and evil within each of us—and one man’s only chance to overcome the greatest divide of the soul.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: The Man He Never Was
Book Author: James L. Rubart
What do you like about this book:
"Stepping into the man he's always been? Stepping away from the man he never was?"
Toren Daniels awakens to find himself alone in a hotel room without any recollection of why he was there. When just a few personal effects are delivered to his room, his memories are those of his past, not the present, and not the eight months that he has been missing and presumed dead. One thing is certain, the internal rage that has threatened to destroy him and those he loves, seems to have diminished. Or has it? . . .for the loves of his life are still slipping through his fingers and every day that passes drives Toren closer to reclaiming what he thought had been given away.
While Toren frantically searches for answers, it becomes clear to him that the man he wants to be and the man he was, are two sides of the same coin; one dark and one light. How can they possibly co-exist without the help of the One who has promised to make all things new? For, "perfect love casts out all fear".
James Rubart has written a compelling story describing the universal plight of mankind through-out the ages; allowing the light to shine in the darkness, whether the darkness comprehends it or not.
