Description

Agreeing to renovate a church in a remote northern Alberta town is an act of panic for a man anxious for a break from God, but ex-pastor Luke Parks needs escape from the girl who crushed his heart. He’s hoping to outrun his crisis of faith, but his doubts quickly find him. To make matters worse, he’s stuck with a snarky church secretary and saddled with an inexperienced assistant.

Through a chance encounter Luke discovers not just a lost kitten, but a deeper, richer side of the congregation. Just as he’s becoming comfortable in his new routine, life takes another swing. His ex-fiancée shows up begging for forgiveness, and in the process, turns his new friends against him.

As Luke struggles to figure out the line between accountability and forgiveness, he can’t help but wonder if he’ll ever find a place to call home.

Agreeing to renovate a church in a remote northern Alberta town is an act of panic for a man anxious for a break from God, but ex-pastor Luke Parks needs escape from the girl who crushed his heart...

This book was a very pleasant surprise! I thought it would be a cheesy, small town romance but it was nothing like that. It was about Luke, coming to a town called Home to make repairs on the church, only to find out that his dad was in cahoots with the pastor to get Luke to be a minister there. I really enjoyed the quirky characters, from the color-blind painter to crotchety church secretary Mrs. Fields. I loved reading about Barty and how Luke took him everywhere with him. There was great humor in the book. And the congregation of the church...all churches need to have a congregation like that who looks out for one another and that has a close-knit quality to them. Great themes on love, forgiveness, and moving on.
