Church Boyz 1 (Rod of the Wicked)

H.H. Fowler

Christian Fiction / Christian / Mystery

Four men, four lives that intertwine with each other, shows that the righteous are not perfect, and at times, are tempted to forsake the ways of God. As each of these men battle to regain their focus, they will come to realize that the consequences of their sins are far greater than they’d anticipated – just one stupid mistake could produce a lifetime of hell!Imagine sharing the spotlight with a ruthless blackmailer, whose only intention, is to take all of which you’ve worked hard to achieve – your wealth, your fame, and your church of seven thousand members. For Pastor Leroy Paxton of Mount Moriah Baptist Church, this is no imagination. Five years ago, he committed one of the most toxic sins and had almost lost his life trying to cover it up. He now comes face to face with his past, which hunts him from the pulpit to his bedroom. And the only way out of this nightmare is to make a decision that could cost him everything.Then imagine being mentored by one of the most revered men, Abraham Winder, whose stance on accountability and sexual purity is taught rigorously within the Mount Moriah mentoring program, only to discover your mentor is not what you expect. This rings true for Dominic Housten, one of Abraham’s closet and trusted protégés, who accidentally stumbles upon a scene that leaves him frozen in disbelief. As Dominic struggles with betrayal, he confides in the pastor’s daughter – the only woman he’d secretly loved for years. The only problem with that is the pastor’s daughter is married to Phillip Benjamin, a deacon of the church and an extremely jealous man, who suspects Dominic’s intention runs deeper than just a ‘casual’ friendship. Four men, four lives that intertwine with each other, shows that the righteous are not perfect, and at times, are tempted to forsake the ways of God. As each of these men battle to regain their focus, they will come to realize that the consequences of their sins are far greater than they’d anticipated – just one stupid mistake could produce a lifetime of hell!
