For Richer, For Poorer Barbara Edema

What's Pastor Maggie up to now?

Life at Loving the Lord Community Church in Cherish, Michigan, isn't always easy. Learning how to adjust to a new marriage while caring for her many parishioners keeps Pastor Maggie on her toes. And things get more complicated as she prepares a group of church folks for the coming holidays--AND a two-week mission trip to Ghana, Africa.
While in Ghana, the expectations of good-hearted people clash with the real needs of the villagers. Maggie's frustration boils over and her plans begin to crumble. All her beliefs about rich and poor, success and failure, poverty and wealth, opened hearts and closed minds get turned upside down. The lessons learned in Bawjiase are life changing for all.
As her spiritual beliefs are threatened, Maggie knows her ministry will be transformed once she returns from her time in Ghana. But will she be the richer or the poorer for it?
