Publisher's Description
When George McKenna preaches a sermon on the good Samaritan, little does he imagine Rose Templeton, a widow in his congregation, will take it quite so seriously. The next thing he knows, Rose has taken in a homeless man, and not long thereafter something happens that turns George's world upside down. Anyone who thinks a modern pastor's life is dull and mundane will think again as they meet such colorful characters as Sweet Martha Lester, Joel Scotney, and Dusty Case. And anyone who wonders if Christianity really works "where the rubber meets the road" will be amazed by the earthshaking reply this novel supplies.
Endorsements (3)
“The jolting story of a mainline minister who dares to be real. Guaranteed to keep you reading!”
“Few books from a Christian perspective address, with honesty, the social and cultural issues that assault the ministry of the gospel of grace. Sometimes It Causes Me to Tremble addresses both these issues the way Jesus did—with stories or parables. Something of his ministry is recorded in the stories that appear within the larger story of this wonderful novel.”
“A touching [picture] of the pastoral life as it is lived from day to day . . . by flawed souls who struggle to do justice to the moral and spiritual lessons handed down to us in the Bible. I was both moved and instructed by it.”
