Saving St. Savior’s

Saving St. Savior’sis a satirical novel about an ultra-liberal pastor serving an aging church. His enthusiasm and ambitious ideas for the church include relocating its ministry to a nearby conference center, located in a beautiful setting by a river. Not everyone supports his plans or vague theology, however, and tensions arise over the move to the conference center, whether or not to save the church organ, and an unwarranted accusation of sexual harassment.

Automatically suspended because of the complaint by the mentally unwell church organist, the pastor takes a sabbatical. He is invited to teach a course at a local college; the professor scheduled to teach it was injured in an accident and he takes her place.

Despite a shaky beginning, their interaction leads to a romance. As their relationship develops she presses him on his relationship with Jesus, resulting in him coming to a genuine faith in Christ.
