The
Pastor’s Inferno
How do you
amend your life after you betray all that has been important to you? Some novels are
designed to distract the reader from his or her daily routine. Others
are meant to lead the reader to understand the human condition a little
better. This is a novel of the second sort.
The Pastor’s Inferno
is a fictional account of a priest’s search for redemption after abusing
a young parishioner. Father John Spador learns to
confront his behavior and its consequences through coming to understand his motivations
and relationships. His story shows how an otherwise ordinary person can
become lost to his demons and then work toward redefining his life. This
account offers the rest of us a chance to think about how we can address
our own failings.

The Pastor’s Inferno
is an insight into the mind of an abusive priest and explores why a
priest might become abusive as well as what he might do about it. This
story should have special importance for Catholic priests, the laity and
hierarchy as well as those of other faiths touched by clergy sexual
abuse. It will also appeal to readers interested in understanding the
darker side of the human condition and how to approach it. Paperback and
e-book copies are available at:
