An Offer You Can’t Refuse!
Become a pastor for a year, or go to jail. What would you choose? 
Imagine a guy named Rowdy, who did many brave things during World War II. He received recognition and advancement in rank, only to lose it all at the end of the war. All because Rowdy attempted to defend a lady’s honor, he was unfairly jailed, and stripped of everything he achieved in the military. While in prison, he is befriended by Crazy Ake. He is a handy guy to have on your side inside the jail, but a real liability outside of it.
After his release from prison, Rowdy finds himself broke and down on his luck. Rowdy unwisely agrees to pull a holdup in a small Texas town with Crazy Ake. In the confusion 
after the robbery, they are separated, and Rowdy ends up with all the cash. Rowdy then decides to turn himself in to the local sheriff, and return all the money.
And that is when the story really gets interesting, because the sheriff makes him a most unusual offer. If Rowdy will take over as the minister of their local church, and do the job for a year, his debt will be paid. No jail time will need to be served.
The author takes us on a wild ride while Rowdy, who has no religious background whatsoever, attempts to pastor a church. While doing that, he starts learning about God, reading the Bible, and he is instructed by the sheriff’s single daughter on how to be a pastor. But he is also being pulled back into the dark side by Crazy Ake, even when Rowdy doesn’t want to be. Before this book is over there is humor from the church people, and Rowdy’s attempts to pastor them. There is also danger, stolen money, and an ending full of twists and turns. 
This is a very original story idea. The author does a great job telling this tale, of making you actually believe something like this could happen. Envision a robber who wants to return all the stolen money, and is then given the choice of becoming a pastor, or going to jail. It is such an outrageous idea, but because it is, it will make you think, what would happen if such a choice was given to someone in real life? It is so crazy, that it is almost believable, in the category of truth is stranger than fiction, that is. There is also some very good Christian theology interjected between all that is happening in Rowdy’s often crazy life. Some seamier sides of life are referred to, but not gone into detail about. I recommend this 5-star book to anyone who enjoys well-written fiction.
