For Better, For Worse is the fourth book in The Pastor Maggie Series. Maggie has learned a lot about being a pastor, but nothing could prepare her for the world-changing events of 2016. 

A national election has the country, the city of Cherish, and Maggie's church taking sides. Maggie watches as private opinions become very public and she witnesses the worst of what happens when people are driven by fear and hate.

She also sees the better angels in those who want to build bridges, care for the forsaken and love those who are lost. This book is fast-paced as the battle between loving as Jesus loved, and attacking "the other" play out. 

Maggie watches, works, and prays for her church to  come together and for her country to overturn hatred with fierce and gentle love. But what happens when hatred seems to win?

This book challenges people of faith to self-examination and, hopefully, self-awareness of our own prejudices and unfair judgments. It also reminds us of how we live with joy as we do the work of enthusiastically sharing acceptance and kindness toward all people. 

Maggie's passion for her flock, and for all God's children, continues even when she is confronted by pure hatred. A twist at the end harshly challenges Maggie's faith. 

Is healing possible?

Whether you are a person of faith or not, you will recognize the characters in the books of The Pastor Maggie Series. You live with them every day. They are your family, your co-workers, your schoolmates, and strangers you pass on the street. These books are about community and those things which separate us and also bind us together.
