Oriental, NC, December 15, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Dennis Bickel, who graduated from Providence College and earned a master’s degree from North Carolina A&T and became an agricultural teacher after a lengthy career in the airline industry, has completed his new book, “The Reluctant Messenger”: a riveting story of a young priest who is assigned with a dangerous mission of delivering a secret document to the Vatican that many would rather have destroyed.

“The story begins when a young priest is given a document and charged with getting it evaluated by the Vatican Archives,” writes Bickel. “There are forces in the church that would like this package to disappear. The book identifies the many powers at play in the Catholic Church today. My book is not a historical drama but more of a modern questioning of traditions. Would the Catholic Church destroy the proof, or would they use it to change centuries of tradition?”

Published by Page Publishing, Dennis Bickel’s enthralling tale will transport readers as they follow along on Father Fox’s journey to accomplish his mission, no matter who stands in his way even from within the Church. Expertly paced and full of suspense, “The Reluctant Messenger” will leave readers spellbound as Father Fox goes up against the very institution he has dedicated his life to.

Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase “The Reluctant Messenger” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
