The summer of 1866 marks a turning point as they settle into a cottage high on the hillside, surrounded by the Hudson River and mountains. But the real challenge begins when they must decide whether to join the Presbyterian church in Wheathedge, leaving behind their Congregationalist roots at Broadway Tabernacle. As the minister's salary remains unpaid and the church struggles financially, the community faces difficult questions about faith, community, and what it means to truly belong. The narrator, a man of law who prefers the city to the country, must confront his own doubts about faith while navigating the delicate balance between his wife's gentle guidance and his own stubbornness. The village of Wheathedge, with its quiet beauty and complex community, becomes the stage for a quiet revolution in understanding faith, community, and what it means to be truly home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desert Raven Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49476316037275,"sku":"DRP-CF-PBK-THE_CHURCH_OF_CHOICE","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/6543\/6827\/files\/b3975cd40027a42d08a25b6ff4eab2ee_967dca45-fa36-4ed3-863b-669d02fc34e1.jpg?v=1788910424","url":"https:\/\/store.desertravenpress.com\/products\/the-church-of-choice-paperback","provider":"Desert Raven Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
