Irrevocable

It was four o'clock in the morning. John Mark Wright slumped in his chair. In front of him, on a crappy table used at a cheap hotel, sat four objects. Legal pad. Pen. Loaded nine-millimeter Glock. Half-empty glass of Hennessy cognac.

Reverend John Mark Wright has everything he could ask for: a beautiful, loving wife, a small church that cherishes his spiritual leadership, and a humble, charming home in which to build memories. The path of ministry seems to contain no roadblocks for him...until the bishop presiding over Reverend Wright is replaced by a man who can't wait to see John Mark out of his position. A series of betrayals, lies, and manipulation lands John in a place he never expected to be-and calls into question every piece of his identity.

Through a series of hardships-being abandoned by loved ones, exploring new cities and countries, working in unfamiliar industries, and trying to discern exactly what his life's purpose is-John Mark faces the reality of his situation and the question of whether his calling is powerful enough to withstand all he's endured.

Will he discover something stronger than himself, or will he succumb to the forces aiming to destroy him?
