Description
He would rather risk losing his vocation than lose his soul.
In his tiny parish on the English coast, Father James has remained untouched by the modernizing of the Catholic Church. But when he’s handed evidence of serious wrongdoing by Mark Boulder, an ex-university friend, he is obliged to take it to his bishop. He refuses a bribe to drop the case, and the bishop brings swift retribution upon him.
Mark is riding high until his brother-in-law, the bishop warns him about the evidence from Father James of a scandal that could ruin his flourishing investment business.
Alarmed, Mark tries to dissuade the priest from pursuing justice against him, for the sake of their old friendship. But Father James cares far more about man’s eternal salvation than his secular ambition. He stands firm and suffers more reprisals from his bishop.
Details of Mark’s malfeasance reach the media and he becomes wanted by the police. With his reputation in ruins, and shunned by his wife, children and the bishop, he realizes only one person can rescue him: the very priest whose vocation he has destroyed.
Can Mark humble himself to ask the priest’s assistance?
If he does, why should Father James help him?
The clash between traditional Catholic teaching and its compromised modern equivalent reaches a climax in this novel by a multiple-bestselling Amazon author.
