{"product_id":"death-in-black-and-white-michael-brisson-9781621646808","title":"Death in Black and White","description":"\u003cp\u003e Father Christopher Hart, a young New York priest and classic film buff, is unwittingly drafted by the mob to hear the confession of a man slated for execution. This was not one of the duties he expected when he became a first-time pastor. Learning how to balance the books and safely navigate parish politics, yes; but playing a key role in the White Death--a mafia ritual in which a person condemned to death is allowed to confess his sins before he's killed--was not included on the Parish Leadership 101 curriculum. Should he just do his job and collaborate with the mob for the sake of souls or find a way to stop the violence? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Unrelentingly comparing his life to his favorite classic movies, Father Hart wishes he could just play the role of Father O'Malley from \u003ci\u003eGoing My Way\u003c\/i\u003e, but he ends up playing a character more akin to Philip Marlowe from \u003ci\u003eThe Big Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e. This riveting page-turner will entertain, but it will also drive the reader to grapple with important themes such as identity, purpose, justice, sin, and, ultimately, redemption. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Brisson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621646807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621646808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Brisson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45064473313535,"sku":"9781621646808","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53f7e6c2-3bca-4567-804a-f9bce5fa94af.jpg?v=1712124414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-in-black-and-white-michael-brisson-9781621646808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
