MCMURRAY, Pa., June 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The battle between Catholics and Protestants is profoundly rooted in history. This hostility of varying degrees is said to have ranged from simple friendly disagreements to outright persecution and murder of Protestants in Rome. In an earnest effort to impart his opinion on this issue, author Fred Gaertner introduces his second novel, Preacher Sean, Antiterrorist, a powerful account of religion that centers upon twenty years of Irish terrorism.
Aaron the Wayshower, the author's spokesperson, now comes back in this novel to help combat the growing division between Protestants and Catholics. Aaron meets Sean Lauder, a twenty-one-year old Protestant who plans to become a Presbyterian minister. Sean's best friend is Pat Daly, a Catholic who also wants to become a priest. The two young men hope to eliminate the existing division between Catholics and Protestants and to bring down the "we-they syndrome" upon which terrorism in Northern Ireland feeds.
In this awareness-raising historical read, follow the experiences of Sean, Pat, and Aaron as they journey into the complexities of the Protestant-Catholic clash. Intriguingly compelling, Preacher Sean, Antiterrorist is Fred Gaertner's voice in this long-time issue that remains unresolved hitherto. With Aaron's guidance, will they be able to materialize their antiterrorism plans? Will they win the fight to end hostility? Read the book to find out!
