Wesley Aames shows up to New Covenant as a man who has already lost everything-wife, daughter, and the will to keep going. Hired to revive a sleepy Appalachian church, he finds a congregation on life support: dwindling funds, fractious trustees, and a choir director who distrusts the new pastor from day one.

Produktbeschreibung
Wesley Aames shows up to New Covenant as a man who has already lost everything-wife, daughter, and the will to keep going. Hired to revive a sleepy Appalachian church, he finds a congregation on life support: dwindling funds, fractious trustees, and a choir director who distrusts the new pastor from day one. When a teenager from the corner of town dies by suicide and her mother's humiliation explodes online, Rosa Lee becomes a magnet for cameras and contempt. Wesley, barely a pastor and twice a stranger to mercy, steps into the storm-counseling teens, calming old ladies, cutting the grass, answering crisis hotline calls-trying to make faith look like rescue instead of rhetoric. As the church's finances and patience run out, a vote looms: keep the earnest, flawed pastor or replace him with steadier hands. But when the outside world shows up with microphones, accusations, and a loaded gun, Wesley's choices become literal life or death. Can a man who still blames himself for his family's deaths save strangers-and in doing so, finally forgive himself? This is a story about grief, messy grace, and the small acts that sometimes hold a town together.
