Frank McKinney

Subtitled a Collision of Love, Flesh and Faith, Frank McKinney’s The Other Thief promises an edgy Christian ride and fulfils that promise. The story revolves around the lead singer of a hugely popular Christian band and follows his slow seduction into erotic trials and tribulations. For readers who think they could never fall, the story offers a very convincing depiction of temptation’s devious path. And for those who have fallen, it offers a slow path to forgiveness. Because, of course, the other thief, if he repents, will be forgiven.

The excesses of fame and fortune, the trials of separation and temptations of fame, and the danger of secrets are all here. Truth will out, and truth will hurt. But lies keep us vulnerable.

The message is powerfully told in this novel, backed up with scripture, weighed down with betrayal, and musically completed in song. “I, yes, I, the other thief before you” ends both story and song, and begins the healing. A haunting tale that’s sometimes overly simple but always heartfelt and true.
