Description
A legal drama about the dirty underbelly of religious power, this novel is inspired by the ongoing strife within the United Methodist Church.
Is Bishop Dan Davidson a faithful believer, or is he a corrupt spiritual leader?
Dan Davidson is as strong and sensitive a soul as one could hope to be. Incidents from his childhood, young adulthood, marriage, and career as a United Methodist minister demonstrate a truly extraordinary man. Nevertheless, as Dan's career progresses from pastoring growing churches to being selected to serve as a bishop of the denomination, it seems he becomes an example of how 'power corrupts'. Finally, confronted in court by attorney Sonny Richardson, in a class action lawsuit accusing the denomination of breach of contract, Dan will have the opportunity to redeem or condemn himself. Will he be the one to show that a faithful believer could stay and serve within the denomination, or will he be revealed to be another spiritual leader corrupted by the power and position the church has bestowed upon him?

This was an emotional read. If you've ever been involved in church leadership or employment it will move your heart. Church is made up of sinful people with their own agendas, This book is a reminder that God loves us all and we need to maintain our integrity as we seek God's way for us.
