Jake Bloom, newly retired, accepts a position as business manager at St. Lawrence, a Catholic church in Indianapolis. After reviewing the church’s finances and position, he discovers the church is deeply in debt and seriously in trouble. As months pass and as the church falls more into debt, a plan to build an addition to the St. Lawrence campus triggers doubt and panic in Jake. Working for the church was once his mission, but now, he’s not so sure.Married with two daughters, Mark Darden always believed he was a strong believer in the Catholic faith. Lately, though, he’s found himself pulled to Traci Jackson, his wife’s friend and fellow St. Lawrence member, and her to him. When the affair begins, both live in fear of being found out, but continue living in sin, as Mark calls it.As St. Lawrence drowns in debt, and as Mark drowns in the passion he feels for Traci, both men must consider if they are meant for the Catholic faith, or if they are being called elsewhere.About the Author John Tarbox is a lifelong writer who has supported his family by doing financial work for the federal government and the Church.

Saint Lawrence is his second novel.To get away from the tyranny of the book and the computer, he walks, bikes, and plays golf.
