Author H. H. Fowler tells the gripping tale of two church bishops, Errol Jackson and Jacob Perry, who are in line for the same chairman of bishops position. When the story begins, we learn that the bishop who recently received the appointment, Bishop Jackson, has just preached a week-long crusade for Bishop Perry at his invitation, so it seems Bishop Perry has graciously conceded defeat, even though he has long desired the chairman position for himself.It soon becomes apparent to Bishop Jackson that Bishop Perry has concocted an elaborate scheme to discredit him, by placing him in a compromising "counseling" position with a young woman.  Although Bishop Jackson has maintained an exemplary reputation up to that point, the evidence against him is ironclad. Bishop Perry's plan has a few loose ends, but  with Bishop Jackson out of the way, it appears he might just get the position after all.This author used authentic characters and a contemporary plot with an explosive ending to bring home this message of repentance and redemption. I learned from this book that although we all sin and come short of God's glory, we should not only immediately repent, but we should also use the word of God to locate our point of failure so we won't find ourselves there again. I have truly enjoyed this entertaining Christian fiction book. I believe you will, too.
