To Burn the Cloth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781733250900)

Would you sin to save your church? Steal? Lie? Murder? This religious thriller is so wild it will make you say an extra prayer before bedtime.

When a new law is passed forcing all Americans churches to organize under a corrupt governing body, the United Holy Christened Church (UHCC), many small churches struggle to afford to stay open. Franklin Catoe, a small town reverend with a dark past, vows to destroy the new system by using any means necessary. He hires Daniel Montclair, a theater student with no religious background, to help him infiltrate the UHCC. Daniel is lured into a sticky web of seduction and more than his reputation is at stake. Reverend Catoe finds his thirty years of holy living slipping as he teaches Daniel what it takes to wear the holy cloth...and how to set it ablaze. How many sins must they commit to accomplish goals and what price will they pay?

To Burn the Cloth is intended for mature audiences only. This book is a work of fiction that examines the possibility of a world without the separation of church and state, the question of when must laws be broken to help save a way of life, the the fine line between divine intervention and insanity.

The first novel by P. A. Santos is sure to challenge a reader's definition of what it means to be a church leader.

Reader discretion is advised.
