The Congregation by Dudley E. Danielson
"G. Duaine Andrews, beloved pastor of First Church of Calumet, New York, recently widowed, is delightfully flamboyant in his sermons to end all sermons. When he prays it's always for his Congregation, as if he and God share braggin' rights over his people.
The St. Lawrence River flows past Calumet with a mission to fill the Atlantic. Everyday Christianity is reflected in its quiet pools: love and loss, temptation and triumph, despair, rebounding victories! These revelations-from-behind-the-pulpit, encased in fictional robes also conceal messages impressed with the seal of the King: you will see a beautiful reflection of our Lord shimmering thru. You will identify with nearly every person on every page. You've met them on your personal journey. You're living in another town, a different parish, in real time but you know this Congregation; though fiction it is as true as I dare to write it"
