title: So Close to Paradise
author: Murrell, Daphne
description: Meg MacAllister’s life is anything but simple, and when an old friend shows up, suddenly things become even more complicated. Phillip Barton is tired, burned out from ministry, and ready to make big changes. Meg knows that God has placed a call on his life, and she desperately wants to see him return to what he is most gifted to do. As she tries to help him regain his confidence, she finds old emotions and attachments beginning to resurface … and all the baggage that comes with them. As hard as it may be for Phillip to overcome his present, it's just as hard for Meg to overcome her past. Will she learn that forgiveness is full before she makes a serious mistake in judgment? And will Phillip ever understand that sometimes our trials drive us to exactly where we need to be?
