author: Hanks, Mary E.
description: “Mary Hanks … gives us a front row seat to witness God mending broken hearts, restoring shattered dreams, and reviving a crumbling marriage.”
   Paula McGrew
  A pastor’s marriage is in trouble. In the church’s spotlight, can they ever find the love they lost?
  Chad’s world revolves around serving the parishioners in his congregation who he’s convinced need his counsel and availability 24-7.
  But shouldn’t his marriage receive an equal share of his devotion?
  His wife thinks so.
  For Chad it’s more than a nine-to-five job. It’s his calling. His life! He can’t put his needs, or April’s wishes, before the needs of others in the church or community.
  But his prioritizing the ministry over their marriage has become a source of contention in their home. And the emotional gap is widening.
  April is already resentful of the expectations thrust on her as a pastor’s wife. Now, her husband is more preoccupied and distant than ever.
  Is he having an affair?
   Has he fallen out of love with her?
  What’s a Christian wife to do when she’s contemplating leaving her husband?
  What’s a pastor do if his marriage is the one in crisis?
  Who can he turn to?
  If you enjoy Christian second chance stories, and believe in grace and unconditional love, this inspirational romance—with its belated epiphany and sweet reconciliation—will touch your heart.
