Life Goes on

About this book

Squarely in the crosshairs of the Church's heresy hunters, can Pastor Sam survive?It's a madcap year in Harmony, Indiana, as Sam Gardner struggles through his fourth year as pastor of the Harmony Friends Meeting. Between Dale Hinshaw's relentless crusades and Fern Hampton's iron grip on the Friendly Women's Circle, daily church life is anything but peaceful.When an open theological debate in Sunday school scandalizes the elders, petitions circulate and secret committees convene in the basement. Facing mutinous members determined to see him ousted, will Sam find the backbone to defend his calling?Join the thousands of readers who have fallen in love with the charming small town that hosts what BookPage calls "the biggest collection of crusty, lovable characters since James Herriot settled in Yorkshire." Small Town Life: From a Fourth of July parade derailed by a runaway ferret to an accidental bobcat burial in an open grave, Harmony rarely stays quiet for long. Quaker Community: Friendly Women's Circle noodle sales, rogue funeral drills, and late-night council squabbles test the patience of even the most devoted townsfolk. Small Town Politics: Councilman Harvey Muldock resorts to brazen petty theft in hopes of losing his seat, while the local newspaper publisher stirs up civic fervor with fiery editorials.
