A Cathartic Scripture Jeffrey Kelley

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (Proverbs 17:17) Rejected as confessor but recruited as biographer, Father Delong recounts the events of the last year of Kyle Pike's life, a life spent battling demons, doubts, and pain on a quest for salvation, but can Kyle's Path lead to redemption? Father Delong is a widower who turned to the priesthood after his loss. As he begins to question how he can positively impact the community and his role in it; he befriends Kyle Pike, a drifter seeking his own form o redemption as he struggles to forgive himself for his own failings. Kyle rejects the sacrament of confessions but solicits instead a promise from Fath Delong to tell his story after he has moved on. A deeply moving mixture of triumph and tragedy, A Cathartic Scripture examines both human frailty and failure during times of crisis and the strength of character to carry on and persevere in the shadows of those failures.
