About the Book

This compelling memoir is the true story of a high-voltage, high-calibre former Australian Air Force padre, Troy White. With raw honesty and a knack for laugh-out-loud storytelling, Troy tells of his life and career in the NSW police force, in police prosecution, in Christian church ministry, and as a chaplain in the Defence Force. He shares courageously about the secret struggle with alcoholism and mental health challenges that brought him crashing down to earth, almost at the cost of his life. This is a weighty, rivetting and uplifting story of struggle, addiction, recovery and faith — with an uncommonly high frequency of hilarious, "I can't believe this happened" adventures along the way.

About the Authors  

Troy White was in the NSW Police Force from the mid-90s to early 2000s; a pastor from 2006 to 2013; and an ADF chaplain from 2013 to 2022 including Middle East deployment. He now resides in sunny Queensland where the beach is never far away.

Clare Bruce is a writer, editor, digital creator and former journalist. As well as crafting books she is studying psychology and working at UNE in Armidale. This book is her debut work as a ghostwriter; she has also contributed to several other memoirs.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Endorsements & Reviews

  • “This book is more than a biography. It is a story of service, struggle, grace and hope. It reminds us that even strong people can break, that wounds left unattended can deepen, and that redemption is often found in the courage to tell the truth.”

    ~ Principal Air Chaplain (Ret’d) Mark Willis, Former Director General Chaplaincy, Royal Australian Air Force

  • “Talk about going deep! Here is a story of a man being tossed and turned in the ocean of life, then being rescued by God and others who love and care for him. Troy teaches us that there is rescue available for all those suffering from a turbulent life — and when rescued, to not go back into that raging water again.”

    ~ Chief Inspector Gary Raymond APM, OAM (Ret’d) NSW Police Force

  • “Sinner, Saint, Servant is a powerful insight into the life of a man who, even in his early years, pursued great heights in everything he did. He shares colourful memories from his practical joker and Peter Pan self, to stories of a career witnessing horrific scenes and tragic losses. Add to this a well-hidden secret, which brought about life changing consequences..."

    ~ Chrissy Siggee

  • “Anyone reading this book could not fail to be impressed by the story of this incredible man who has touched the lives of so many ... But there’s a price to be paid for devoting your all, and more, to the service of others. Troy’s life has been a roller coaster ride reaching dizzying heights of success, achievements and accolades, then plummeting to heartbreaking near-fatal lows...”
