The Search Committee, book #15






Just finished this this morning.  Still on the fence about how I feel about it.  There were some funny parts, but the others parts seemed very unrelated.  Books like this remind me I am no real english major, I flunked Freshman English three times!!!  All I know is what I like and don't know, but I don't always get themes, character development, etc.  I'll be curious to see what my Book Club Buddies think about it....

A mismatched team of seven hit the road in an Econoline church van on a mission to find a new pastor. They don't agree on much other than the stops at Hardee's for coffee and a biscuit. But they stick to the call, trying to slip undetected into worship services across the Southeast--all in hopes of stealing a preacher for their congregation. Each member is wrestling to balance their own busy life and personal struggles. And they're trying to keep their issues to themselves. Forced to spend countless hours together, these very different personalities from different generations begin to bond. And their lives are profoundly changed as they love and support each other through the difficulties in each of their lives. (picture and description at Amazon)
