The Pastor Maggie Series

by Barbara Edema

Available in Paperback, Kindle, and Audiobook
 
To Love and To Cherish

Twenty-six and single, Pastor Maggie has just graduated from seminary and been called to a church in the town of Cherish, Michigan. Idealistic, impetuous, and short on life experience, she jumps in with both feet, only to meet experiences she never dreamed of—and a touch of romance.

To Have and to Hold

Pastor Maggie of Loving the Lord Church has finally gained the trust of her congregation, but they will all be tested when the church comes under attack through malicious break-ins and vandalism. Can she maintain her blossoming romance with dashing Dr. Jack Elliot and support the needs of her flock?

For Richer For Poorer

For Pastor Maggie, life isn't always easy. Adjusting to her new marriage while caring for her flock keeps her on her toes. Things get more complicated as she prepares them for the coming holidays—AND a two-week mission trip to Ghana, Africa, where she will find her spiritual beliefs threatened.

For Better, For Worse

Is America at war? A national election is dividing the country, the city of Cherish, and Loving the Lord Community Church into splintered factions. In this fourth book of the series, Pastor Maggie must marshal all the patience and fortitude she can to hold the vision of a harmonious and loving society.

In Sickness and In Health

Maggie's faith is strong, but will she withstand the pressures of being a wife, mother, and pastor? Sickness and health are part of all of our lives, but Maggie must finesse her caregiving in challenging situations she never expected. Only time will tell if she is up to the task.

Barbara Edema has been a pastor for twenty-three years. That may sound astonishingly boring. However, she is a great deal of fun, with a colorful vocabulary used regularly out of the pulpit. Barb has spent decades caring for people during holy and unholy times. She has been at both her best and her worst during her growth as a minister.
      Now she's writing about a fictional church based on her days serving many delightful and frustrating parishioners. Pastor Maggie is a young, impetuous, emotional, and clumsy—not to mention, a crazy cat lady—who steps into ministry full of Greek and Hebrew, but short on life experience. She learns quickly.
      Barb lives in DeWitt, Michigan with her husband, Doug. She is the mother of Elise, Lauren, Alana, and Wesley. Like Maggie, Barb is a feline-loving female. Hence, she has collected an assortment of rescue kitties. Barb enjoys date nights with her husband, watching her children do great things in the world, a glass of good red wine, and making up stories about the fun and crazy times of life in the church.
