Sadly, one of the common threads found in the fabric of a church coup is the desire of some to be a leader without first being willing to be a servant. Many would be quick to recite a long laundry list of all the things they do within their local fellowship, but tasks that are performed grudgingly, with an agenda, or without the heart of a servant are suspect.

Long before she became a famous, chart-topping recording artist, Meredith Clark was brutally wounded, insecure, and lonely; part little girl, part fragile woman. Just as she had fled a traumatic situation as a scared sixteen-year-old, she once again sought to put miles between herself and an abusive relationship. Piling everything she owned into her car, and stealing away from New Orleans in the middle of the night, she headed anywhere north, as quickly as possible.

When she was nineteen-years-old, long before Meredith Clark came to Nashville and met Joel Etheridge, on her way to escape her hellish ordeal in New Orleans, she ended up stranded on the side of the highway in rural Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, and was taken in by Pastor Fred Blake, his wife, Miss Marcie, and their nine-year-old daughter, Carlyn. Meredith spent almost a year as a member of their family and made a lasting impression on little Carlyn, who is all grown up, now.

Does Father have wings? Little Wally Greer's friend, Foster Ames, thinks He "flaps them when He wants to whip up a tornado" but Wally says they're "probably more like tents". Father's Wings is the sequel to Father's Choice and is the second book of the three book series. Enjoy the return of the characters you came to know so well in the first chronicling of the love story of Joel and Meredith. Get to know new ones, as the lives of Joel and Meredith continue forward into a season of intercession, and spiritual warfare that can only be survived under the protection of a loving Father.

Joel Etheridge purposed to wait his entire life, if he had to, for that "once in a lifetime love". He never expected that love to walk into his offices on Music Row, incredibly talented, but as irritating and stubborn as she was beautiful. Those who had known Joel for years were quick to point out that his premature gray hair only became evident after Meredith Clark blew into town. Meredith's careless lifestyle is one of innocent self-indulgence, harmless, for the most part.
