If Pews Could Talk Shirley Rice Verhey

Come into the quiet sanctuary and feel God's presence. Experience the parishioners stories, as told by the pews they sat on. Get to know the weepy and tenderhearted Rosetta; Martha, who was placed in the back and forgotten; and, Cletus, "Mr. Sweet Grump" among others. As Cedar Grove Methodist Church closes its doors after 150 years, the pews are enlivened. They are given human qualities that endear them to the reader. The author has given them voices, personalities and emotions. Enjoy both the tears and the laughter as you read about the everyday lives of extraordinary people.
