About This Book

From a #1 Essence–bestselling author, a "fresh, passionate and laugh-out-loud funny" novel about a Baptist community's search for a pastor (The Dallas Morning News).

It's the 1970s in St. Louis and the 100th year anniversary celebration of Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church is approaching and the pastor has died. How will the church pull itself back together and find a new pastor in time to prepare for the church centennial, let alone survive one more day? It seems as though everyone in the church has an idea about who the new pastor needs to be and what direction he should be going.

Michelle Andrea Bowen weaves the hilarious stories of several church members as they plan, plot, and connive to have their choice installed as the next pastor before the anniversary celebration.

Second Sunday refers to one of the main worship Sundays in small traditional Baptist churches. In this delightful novel, it's the much-anticipated day of the scheduled centennial celebration—if this feisty community can come to agreement in time!

"Get ready for some Godly grit and gumption, served up hot and tasty." ―Romantic Times

"A funny, honest drama . . . Bowen deftly balances romance, church politics, and spirituality." ―Greater Diversity News (NC)

"Done with wit and intelligence. The cast is a delight." ―Midwest Book Review
