Coming back from the war and not being able to fit back in, then getting caught up in a crime. He realizes he needs to change and is given a choice: pastor a church for a year, or go to jail. Thinking the church would be easy, he instead finds out that it comes with its own challenges. Marcus Brotherton&#8217;s <em>Feast for Thieves<\/em> tells how both Slater and the town change over the year.<\/p>\n<p>Rowdy finds out that he needs to accept Jesus, and with that, a different lifestyle. Though things are fine at first, he starts to see that all people have problems, and he needs to help them as he can. Being a pastor goes from keeping him out of jail to being his calling.<\/p>\n<p>Rowdy faces many challenges, from irate church members to his past resurfacing, and he learns how to deal with his problems in a Christ-like manner. Though he doesn&#8217;t have it all together, he doesn&#8217;t quit. He also decides to stop running from and hiding his mistakes, and accept the consequences.<\/p>\n<p><em>Feast for Thieves<\/em> is well written and down to earth. Though there is plenty of action, the story in easy to follow.
