Like Balaam's Ass — Judy Mitchell Rich

Men! They tangle up Pastor Suzanne's life: Her husband's departure still mystifies her. Lawrence, a gentle soul who loves children and animals, offers questionable companionship. Charlie thinks he is a Bible scholar. She's trying to prepare Lamb of God Church for a new pastor, but various forces threaten the congregation's peace and unity. Weaving her way along a gnarly road, Suzanne's faith holds, but her trust wavers. Good friends try to hold her steady, and her peer group[whch outspoken clergy woman Queenie calls POPS(Pissed Off Pastor)] keeps pace with her. Through it all her pup Wolfie offers protection.
