Motown Murders and Ministry, by Jack Loshaw

Through the eyes of a homicide detective, we meet those whose situations led them into the darkness to commit horrific acts. During his work, the author's life changed as he found a relationship with God. As the author puts it, the thought of becoming a real Christian and continuing in police work seemed a true challenge. He felt a lot of conflict between being a Christian and a homicide detective.

It was troubling to see so many folks whose lives seem hopeless and lacked any perceived abundance. From a police standpoint, Jack was determined to bring about what fairness he could and to do his part to alleviate some of the burdens brought by despair. Currently, Jack is retired from the police department. He worked at a car dealership for 12 years until he was called into ministry. He has now been an ordained minister for over fourteen years at Mt. Zion Church in Clarkston, Michigan.

Within this book are the stories of people whom Jack encountered during his days as a detective, and how he reconciled his work and faith.
