In Sickness & In Health

~ Book Five of the Pastor Maggie Series ~

by Barbara Edema


Maggie's faith is strong, but will she withstand the pressures of being a wife, mother, and pastor?

With her first baby on the way, Pastor Maggie is busier than ever, but happiness turns to frustration when her trusted administrative assistant heads off on a three month Australian vacation. Maggie finds herself with a troublesome replacement who will not be managed. A life-threatening health crisis for more than one beloved friend, concerns for a family in the grip of a terrible secret, and weddings galore force Maggie to juggle care for her flock and family, all while preparing for her own little bundle of joy.
      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.

Praise for the Pastor Maggie Series

"Barbara Edema has done it again! In Sickness and in Health takes us back to the idyllic town of Cherish, Michigan and the wonderful and wacky parishioners who feel like old friends. Edema creates a hopeful, inspiring novel of faith and friendship, kindness and community. She skillfully balances weighty themes of abuse and illness with her trademark humor, hope, and heart. My favorite of the Pastor Maggie Series, In Sickness and in Health is the perfect escape from a world of chaos and conflict. Reading a Pastor Maggie novel is like slipping beneath a cozy blanket on a cold winter day. In a world of chaos and conflict, Edema wraps us in a warm hug and reminds us how we should be."
– Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times best-selling author of The Life List

"I couldn't put For Richer, For Poorer down. It is filled with many important life issues while keeping a fantastic work of fiction. The warmth of the characters and their interactions will make the reader smile and ponder many things. I turned the pages quickly wondering and anticipating what would happen next. The trials and triumphs of the people in Pastor Maggie's congregation is inspiring. This is a very fun story as well. It shows what the power of love can do. It is creative and extraordinarily imaginative. I think that readers will be very satisfied, inspired and happy with this third installment of the 'Pastor Maggie' series."
– Jewel Hart, ChickLitCafe.com

It was amazing!
"This is one of those meaningful books that makes us examine our perspective on our thought processes and expectations when we are giving to others, particularly when we decide what others need. As with the previous Pastor Maggie books, the characters and their interactions seem so real they could walk off the page and into our living rooms . . . a delight to read with enough suspense, laughter, and depth to keep me engaged and looking forward to more of Pastor Maggie."
– Charlene Kushler
