“This novel tackles two thought-provoking questions: What possesses someone to be called to religious ministry? And can a couple with opposite beliefs find happiness? When Charles and James are jointly hired to steward the historic Third Presbyterian Church through turbulent times, they and their wives share decades of love and friendship, jealousy and understanding, forgiveness and commitment. Deep, abiding faith shares the page with atheism as the two couples wrestle with life as the leaders of a troubled congregation wishing to maintain relevance in a quickly changing world.”- Linda, George Reynolds Branch
