It chronicles the desperate flight of an unnamed whisky priest — a flawed, guilt-ridden man who is nonetheless the last Catholic clergyman remaining in a state that has outlawed the Church. Pursued relentlessly by a fanatical police lieutenant who represents the cold certainty of a godless ideology, the priest moves through poverty-stricken villages, administering sacraments and confronting his own profound unworthiness. Greene constructs a gripping cat-and-mouse thriller that simultaneously argues one of literature's most enduring paradoxes: that grace and salvation can operate through the most broken of human vessels. Written with spare, haunting precision, the novel stands as a definitive meditation on sin, redemption, and the indestructible nature of faith.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956206022875,"sku":"2026200011176-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4b782a19-729b-4be0-8e89-a18bc0ba40ad.png?v=1783499060","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011176-secondhand-the-power-and-the-glory","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
