Not with the church's money
(Book)

Cover title.

When the pastor of Lee Chapel passes away suddenly, his son, Willie Lee, Jr., is supposed to pick up the mantle. But "church" was never Willie Jr.'s forte...until his uncle Joseph convinces him that becoming the next pastor might prove beneficial financially. Willie's mother, Ephesia, hopes that her son will be able to fill his father's shoes, but she has doubts. And Willie's Aunt Galatia has no problem voicing her opinions about Willie Jr.'s deficiencies. In fact, she hopes that her husband (Joseph) will soon be able to take over the job of shepherding the church. Amidst this uncertainty, Willie's wife decides now would be a good time to leave, which means Willie Jr. must obtain and keep a job--something he hasn't ever really had to do. Will the pressures of making ends meet cause Willie Jr. to abuse his position and the church's money? Will he ever be able to live up to the prophecy his deceased father told? And will he learn his most valuable lessons before it's too late?
