An Odd Request

By: LuAnn K. Edwards

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A marriage proposal arrives in the mail—from a man she hasn’t seen in twelve years.

Widowed pastor’s wife Becca Hill longs to serve God more fully. Yet life in the close-knit town of Pleasant Springs has left her wondering whether her most meaningful days are behind her. When an unexpected letter turns her quiet world upside down, she must decide whether this astonishing proposal is God’s answer … or the biggest mistake she could make.

Recently widowed missions pastor Ben Peterson believes God is leading him to ask Becca to become his wife. Although they haven’t seen each other in over a decade, he’s convinced they can build a life of ministry together. With mounting pressure from the Orlando megachurch he serves, and the fear his position will be terminated if he doesn’t remarry soon, Ben must persuade her that a marriage of shared calling could bless them both.

Leaving Tennessee and the people Becca loves to marry a man she barely knows anymore feels impossible. She fears that even if she says yes, Ben may never truly love her. For him, time is running out, and both must decide whether obedience to God means stepping into a future neither imagined.

As their faith is tested, will they discover whether God’s greatest blessings can truly come through such an unexpected request?
