"Pastor B and the Haunted church" by Dorothy May Mercer is a suspenseful mystery full of twists and turns. Pastor Burke must unravel the mysteries of ghosts, the underground railroad, and try to help his congregation and save the church itself. Sounds like a great mystery and BOTD.

Today’s BOTD is a Christian historical fiction novel that follows Pastor B who is sent to a run-down, haunted church where he and his wife work to restore love, trust, and faith in the community. Filled with mystery, suspense, and a bit of humor, readers will find this to be both entertaining and educational. Thank you so much for your helpful review; keep up the great work! :-)

I love a good suspense novel, and Pastor B and the Haunted Church by Dorothy May Mercer seems like an intriguing read. I wonder what mysteries River Heights Church holds.

Reading the snippet was delightful,and the review of 'Pastor B and the Haunted Church' by Dorothy May Mercer was brilliantly composed. "I admired Alan's insight on making surprise visits to people's places of employment to gain insight into their lives." I found this outstanding,as it highlights his genuine desire to connect with church members better.I can't wait to uncover more.

Thank you for your review. I read the sample. It's a fun story about a new pastor in an inner city: Rev. Alan has a perfect personality for the job. I liked that he visited people in their homes and businesses to see how he could help them spiritually and physically.

Christian fiction is not my cup of tea but this book sounds exciting. The mystery connected to the church, the spooky stories about its past, gambling, suicide, paranormal activity etc. make the book interesting. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

'Pastor B and the Haunted Church' by Dorothy May Mercer reminds me of the old stories my grandma used to tell me. I would love to know how the railroad discovery impacted the church renovations. Congratulations on BOTD.

"Pastor B and the Haunted Church" sounds like such a cool mix! It's a super old mansion church with a spooky vibe, apparently tied to the Underground Railroad, and all these present-day mysteries with some paranormal stuff. That combination of Christian faith, history, and suspense really grabs me. I'm genuinely intrigued to check out this unique story. Congrats BOTD!
