Book Review: When Polly Met Olly
This was a light and breezy book to read and the story moved quickly.

Want to Read Wednesday: The Pastor Wears a Skirt by Dorothy Nickel Friesen
Rev. Dorothy Nickel Friesen, an ordained Mennonite pastor, digs deep into the soul of a pastor with humor, pathos, and passion.
