    A Modern Catholic Trilogy Series

    By Hilary Walker

    About this series

    By the #1 bestselling author of A Truthful Man and A Divine Truth.

    The cost of defending the Truth is high. But not defending it will cost them everything.
    Three men face impossible choices.

    Bishop Marsden's superiors at the Vatican are pleased with his ruthless removal of traditional priests, and he's about to reap his reward by being installed as the next archbishop.

    However, his conscience is rebuking him severely for sacrificing good shepherds of the Church upon the altar of modernity. But if he reinstates them, he will lose his promotion.

    Can he conquer his love of self for the good of God and his neighbour?

    Mark's barbaric behaviour crushed his wife, and now he longs to heal her wounds and restore their relationship. Yet he also betrayed Father James, which cost the priest his ministry and his income. Mark owes him every assistance in regaining them.

    He faces an impossible choice: repair his marriage, or help the innocent priest whose vocation he destroyed? Which one is God calling him to choose?

    Father James prays daily for God to restore him as pastor of St. Jude Church, but the bishop has blocked his appeal for reinstatement in Rome. There is little chance he will be successful in returning to his beloved parishioners, and each day it's harder not to become discouraged and wonder if he truly was called to the priesthood.

    What does God want from him, if he's not meant to be a Catholic priest?

      He would rather risk losing his vocation than lose his soul. Mark Boulder is riding high until his wife discovers his extra-marital affair. Then her brother, the bishop confronts him with rumors of a far worse scandal which could ruin his flourishing investment business. Father James is happy in his tiny coastal parish – until he's handed evidence of serious wrongdoing by ex-university friend, Mark Boulder, which he is obliged to take to his bishop. When the priest refuses to drop the case, the bishop swiftly retaliates. An alarmed Mark also tries to dissuade Father James from pursuing justice against him, but the pastor's concern is the man's eternal salvation not his secular ambition. He stands firm, and suffers yet more retribution from Mark's brother-in-law, the bishop. Details of Mark's malfeasance have reached the media and he is now wanted by the police. His reputation is in ruins and he is shunned by his wife and children and the bishop. The only person who can turn his life around is the priest whose vocation he has destroyed. Can Mark humble himself to ask Father James for his forgiveness? Even if he does, why should the betrayed priest help him? The clash between traditional Catholic teaching and its compromised modern equivalent reaches a climax in this novel by a multiple bestselling author.

      From the best-selling author of 'A Truthful Man' Saving souls? Or chasing glory? Father James' bishop is determined to ensure he remains in permanent exile without pay. As a result, the cancelled priest is reduced to stacking shelves in the village grocery to earn a living. He then discovers that his bishop ousted him without duly following Canon law. Confident of being reinstated, he sends a letter of appeal to the Vatican. But the bishop mails a poisoned missive to Rome to ensure Father James' appeal never gets heard. He then throws more pastors out of their parishes. Father James senses God is calling him to help these cancelled priests. But how can he achieve this? And can he successfully fight his unjust removal in Rome? You will find yourself rooting for Father James as he strives to shepherd souls, not combat his superiors.
