Riding Out the Wager
is the first book of The Father Michael Trilogy, the sequel to The Jack Harper Trilogy.
Published: 1st September 2017
Father Michael’s brother-in-law has an impossible house guest - Justin, an army veteran suffering from PTSD. The man is making life miserable for his host family.
But the priest has no practical assistance to offer, until an incident in church gives him an idea. Naturally, his plan involves the ever-reluctant and newly-wed trainer Jack Harper.
It will also require the help of Isaac, a very special but damaged horse on his farm - and a wager.
Meanwhile Father Michael gives a podcast interview to a local atheist hoping to trip him up on Catholic matters. As soon as the podcast is aired, church attendance plummets and the priest is under intense pressure from his bishop to rectify the situation.
Justin is no closer to coming back to the faith and the podcaster rejoices in his victory over the Church.
Will God makes good come out of evil for those who love Him, as Father Michael wants to believe?

Touching story of the healing of a soldier and a horse
By Kathy Vandergriffon
An amazing story of how a soldier with PTSD is helped when he learns to comfort an abused horse. Father Michael, who is working with the soldier, has a major part in helping Justin, the soldier. The author makes the characters so believable and keeps the plot developing to keep the reader engaged. This Christian book was a joy to read and I look forward to reading more in this series.
