After many years working for the City of Chicago and serving a loyal precinct captain in the 51st Ward, Pat Sullivan, a guy who did things right, looks forward to his retirement. He has one final election to get the vote out for the incumbent alderman, Eddie Byrne. Afterward, Pat and Mary, his wife of more than 40 years, will relax, play with the grandchildren, and maybe learn to fish.

That was the plan.

But Pat's plan goes awry when his son, Tommy, is accused of murdering his troubled young wife. Pat puts his home and nest egg up for Tommy's lawyer and bond to ensure his presence in court. Despite his claims of innocence, Tommy disappears into the big city, jeopardizing Pat's home and future.

While working the aldermanic election in a racially charged and shifting ward, Pat searches for his estranged son, only to realize a tail and others are also looking for Tommy, as well as CPD Detective Larry Wiggin and Reverend Zuko -- an arms-length ally of Alderman Byrne -- who found religion while serving time in prison. Who's worthy of Pat's trust?

Pat finds more questions than answers as his search intensifies. Under the pressure of a court-issued deadline, Pat's search of a lifetime unearths secrets in his own family, his trusted alderman and the chameleon Reverend Zuko. Has Pat Sullivan's entire South Side life been rooted in blind ambition? Is it too late?

The year is 1970. The place is an Irish Catholic working class neighborhood in the south side of Chicago. The parish of St. Justin Martyr. Gary Weezer O'Donnell is about to enter the eighth grade and feels that it is time to put away childish things and to start exploring the process of growing up. But he has questions. Many questions.

Father Tom Mallon has returned to St. Justin after some financial misfeasance at his prior church assignment. He grew up in the parish almost two decades earlier. Both of his parents had died while he was young and he found himself living with his Uncle Wally, a kind man who made his living collecting gambling debts in the neighborhood. Through Uncle Wally, both Tom and his best friend, Freddy Gallagher, acquiescence the ways and means of the gambling world, yet Tom keeps his promise to his mother and becomes a priest. But old habits die hard and Tom has his own set of questions.

It is then that the paths of Father Mallon and Weezer O'Donnell cross in fateful and ironic ways that leave each of them satisfied that sometimes your questions can't be answered and you just have to let it be at that.

The Spirit of God is pressing toward the final hours of the Church's presence and is exposing all the evil workings that are afoot. Such as the spirit of religion where the truth has been metaphorically skewed to render control to man rather than to God. So what is bringing on this sudden judgment of the things that are at work in the Church today by both man and devil? The answer to that question may be found within the confines of this book.

The latest book by author Bob Allen - Basically Evil - Focuses on the current issues of evil plaguing our society today, as it's no longer an issue of whether or not any evil activities taking place, it's now about who is doing it. The political foundations of America have been overthrown by activists and pundits alike to the degree the citizens of this country no longer elect valued politicians but the lesser of two evils. Churches no longer engage in spiritual warfare against evil but engage in plagiarism and ego-driven dynamics leaving the realm of darkness to free roam in them and amidst the populace at large. While the devil is evil by nature, humanity is fast catching up in its efforts of wickedness and evils too.

Spouses need to look at the issues of marriage from a perspective that sees it as God's eternal purpose. He does not care how long you're marriage covenant has been established, but how well your efforts are in making it as He has purposed. So in order to line up to this start with learning about three areas that I call proprietary, personal, and priority for both husband and wife.

In this book, you will see the Power of God as revealed in the authority of His Word, and along with His nature and character revealed by a witness of the Holy Spirit you'll find your place in His divine plan. God in His infinite wisdom will inspire you through this word of truth, making it a provision of power for your eternal transformation.

Christianity today is far removed from its true roots of Judaism, and is attached to those of paganism rooted in philosophy, philosophy that forms various theologies that result in the Church corporately maintaining a position against Israel, and historically being the greatest persecutor of God's chosen nation. The devils fingerprints can be seen all over the issues that have prevailed in the Church's past and are still present today. While the Church may be some 2000 years old it is still in its infancy regarding its true spiritual purpose as perceived by God. And since it is not here because of some spiritual void, it must come to fulfill its true purpose, one that is to bring into view an image of the God who created those who abide within it. Jesus who is at the spiritual headship of the Church has not changed, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and as He came to reveal His Father in His time, He has purposed the Church to also reveal His Father in the 2000 year time of its existence. Within the covers of this book are truths that reveal the Church's past present and future, some of those truths will inspire you others will make you angry, but it is truth that will set you free.

In this age of the Church, God has chosen to express the revelation truths of His word and the accountability of knowing that reality has not been removed. He has declared that we learn from it His knowledge that is not of an earthly nature but knowledge that is to reveal His Divine nature. So, having inherent power crafted into it transforms the nature of all His children to be by the Holy Spirit as He is. This is a transformation based on faith that comes by His word; thus, there must be a nurturing of spirit and soul in every son or daughter of God occurring by spiritual knowledge of truth to create in all a solid foundation of unwaning faith, and not as it is today where churches are filled with believers having mediocre faith. It's past time for the Church to arise as the dominate force of light in a world that's growing darker.
