Synopsis

Où est tout le glamour ? Quand le pastorat n'est pas adopté comme une entreprise, mais plutôt comme un mode de vie, c'est l'engagement inébranlable que l'on doit faire pour plaire à Dieu. Le pasteur Gerrick Travis est à sa garde. C'est un homme selon le cœur de Dieu, qui doit affronter et gérer des situations du banal à l'extrême. Le matin, le midi ou la nuit ne dictent pas le quoi, quand, où et comment. Juste au moment où son assiette semble vide et qu'il est plein, les restes ne peuvent pas simplement être jetés à la poubelle. Le poids de tout cela amènera-t-il l'homme de Dieu à se demander si cela vaut tout cela?

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Many are called but few are chosen the "good" book says. Pastor Gerrick Travis is on his watch and challenges are a constant. Marriage, ministry, and work are his life’s summation. Mrs. Reneé Bransford Travis is a good woman; however, but not the perfect wife. She is a bold and gifted teacher of the Word of God. Sister Travis loves her husband very much, but bares the flaw of poor anger management. Solving a heated conflict can easily involve physicality by her. Reneé's slightly older widowed sister, Lelani Reed is her best friend and confidant. Truth Christian Fellowship Church is growing and Pastor Travis has to always confront and handle the unexpected. He is a man after God's own heart. Church folk have a tendency to pull on him whether they are sheep of his flock or not. Gerrick's mentor and previous overseer, Bishop Randall Knolls, pastor of Triumph Christian Center, commits suicide after he falls from grace due to adultery, the misappropriation of grant monies and assault on his wife, Sister Claretha Knolls. Travis has to dismiss his haughty and disgruntled associate pastor, Kenneth Mason who is wreaking havoc because he felt wronged concerning a pastoral position. Derrick, the pastor's twin brother, has a human tornado for a girlfriend, Dianetta Davis. A mentally disturbed mother poisons the church's secretary, Janelle Pui. In the midst of all that and more, God starts talking crazy and tells Pastor Travis to quit his job at Askew Massmutual Insurance Corporation after receiving a promotion, buy a new house, go into ministry full- time as the news of his 41 year old wife's pregnancy arrives. With ears filled with the voices of God, the devil and man, Gerrick lands at the door of another woman while his wife, due to her anger, was in a physical altercation with Dianetta, and suffers a miscarriage with their first and only child.
