Heart and Soul — Nancy Lavo

A Calling Worth the Risk Noah Speer’s fast track to the pulpit of the largest church in the South stalls when he’s sent to Village Green to aid the aged local pastor. Frustrated with the interruption to his career and desperate for a sympathetic ear, he turns to newcomer Dr. Emily Cutler. A woman who’s been praised for her good heart and sharp mind but never her looks, Dr. Cutler is delighted when the handsome celebrity pastor seeks out her company, even though she knows it’s only because she’s one of the few single women in town under the age of seventy. She determines to enjoy the brief time with him, a pleasant diversion while she’s building her medical practice. As their unlikely friendship grows, Noah is challenged to take a hard look at himself and the course he’s plotted out for his life. Is the path he’s pursuing the one God has for him? And where does the doctor fit in?
