He Leadeth Me: Hymns to Stir the Heartstrings (Unabridged‪)‬

A pastor’s duty, a father’s hope, a little girl’s trust, and a young woman’s desperation

Nebraska, 1887 - Widower Joseph McBride had resisted long enough. His little girl needed a mother, and the congregation expected their pastor to have a wife. Reluctantly, he wrote to his cousin for help. A few weeks later, Christine Hanna arrives on the train—lovelier than he imagined, but beauty alone won’t ease the burden of life in a parsonage. Could she withstand the constant scrutiny, the endless duties, the weight of being a pastor’s wife? As Joseph and Christine navigate faith, family, and the expectations of a small-town church, they discover that the greatest test isn’t whether she can fill the role, it’s whether their hearts can find a home in each other.
