About Catherine Schuett

The plot for her novel The Ultimate Test
first formulated in Catherine’s mind back in her eighth
grade literature class. In her class, she read a short story about a man who hunted other
men on an island. The story left a major impact on Catherine, stimulating her imagination
and thus The Ultimate Test was born.
Catherine states that the novel basically represents an extreme test of faith.
The scripture used to inspire, comfort, and guide Kyle and the others can also be applied
in our own daily battles.
Sure, we may not face wild animals, volatile storms, or diabolical trainers like Kyle and
the others but we may face terrorist attacks like 911 or corrupt companies eating up our
life savings or leaving us jobless like those employed by Enron.
In either of those situations, the verses will work in comforting the troubled heart. On a
smaller scale, though, these same passages can inspire us to fight every day temptations.
They can empower us and guide us to overcome our daily afflictions.
No matter what the situation, big or small, in every life there will be hardships. But, we,
like Kyle and the others, can take heart, because our risen Lord and Savior overcame them all
for us and is there by our side at all times. — from the author
