A novel of spiritual fiction exploring Judeo-Christian & New Age values begin when Maggie Dillitz is appointed as interim minister after a conflict in the Middle East plucks the senior minister from his post. The book explores emotions related to women in the clergy & sexual harassment in the ministry, & the Apostle Paul's sentiments in the New Testament are examined. Maggie previously earned her MBA from Harvard Business School & then made a career change when she answered the call to enter the ministry by attending the Yale Divinity School. One chapter showing a mini-reunion of close girl friends at their 15th Harvard Business School reunion reveals lifestyles & concerns of America's elite working class 15 years out of the world's premier graduate school as they struggle with middle age, baby-boomer anxieties, child-rearing issues, spiritual hunger, & emotional appetites. Midway through the book, Maggie's career unexpectedly explodes in her face when she preaches a sermon on the book of Amos, an Old Testament book written by a prophet in 750 BC. A chapter called "Caribbean Chaos" takes place in Jamaica, where Maggie experiences sexual harassment by her boss, a senior minister, while on a mission project. "Saying Goodbye" is the final chapter of the book, & it examines issues related to death & dying as Maggie preaches the funeral service for one of her Harvard Business School friends who dies from cancer in her forties.

However, Kathryn finds herself in the classic triangle where she loves two men in different ways but chooses to remain with her husband. The book has been called "part spiritual fiction, part contemporary romance, part murder mystery -- all master storytelling in the best Southern writing tradition.

What the Bible Says About...

By: Patty Sleem

A daily inspirational guide as well as a valuable reference when you want to see what the Bible says about Life and Living, Toil and Working, Problems and Suffering, Anger and Arguing, Self-Reliance and Peace of Mind, Justice and Wrong-Doing, Discipline and Self-Control, Wealth and Power, Knowledge and Wisdom, Pride and Honor, Gifts and Giving, Husbands and Wives, Friends and Neighbors, Children, Sinning and Repenting, Judgment and Mercy, Faith and Religion, and Love. 192 pages. Reviews of Patty Sleem's novel Second Time Around: "Second Time Around features well-developed characters and an unusual plot twist as a relational novel reminiscent of Anne Rivers Siddons becomes a murder mystery. Sleem's use of language and situation may disturb those with a traditional concept of what constitutes Christian fiction, but Sleem seems more interested in exploring the tension Christians experience as they strive to balance what they 'know' to the be right with what 'feels' right. Unlike characters in many Christian novels, Sleem's characters are neither all good nor all evil; simply humans struggling with difficult choices in the light of their relationship with a holy God. Second Time Around is a worthwhile addition to Christian fiction collections and will appeal to fans of both mystery and relational novels."--Jane M., Reviewer, Public Library "Author Patty Sleem has captured the essence of small town Southern life and the many layers of relationships one finds there. She skillfully weaves a picture of 'the way things are done' in small town politics and families. Various theories and clues lead the reader through a well-written mystery. Excellent detail helps the reader to both see and feel the scene. In one instance, you can almost smell the sea as described by the author." The Daily News, Bowling Green, KY Reviews of Patty Sleem's novel Back In Time: "Maggie Dillitz has turned her back on a lucrative business career in order to pursue a call to the ministry. To her dismay, she soon discovers that many people are not ready to accept a female minister. Receiving a post only because of sudden and unexpected vacancies, Maggie soon alienates her parishioners. Sent to Jamaica in a last-ditch effort to save her career, Maggie is sexually attacked by a senior minister. When that minister is murdered after her return to the States, Maggie quickly becomes a chief suspect. Sleem provides an engrossing look at the discrimination faced by female ministers. Patrons will want a follow-up." - Library Journal "Lots of contemporary issues in a plot that pulls readers through the pages. Glass ceilings in the ministry, sexual harassment from the least likely corner, homicides no less surprising. Sleem develops an attractive character in Maggie Dillitz, a Harvard Business School grad who gives up the rat race after 15 years to enter the ministry. Less frantic? In her dreams. Intriguing exploration of current Judeo-Christian issues." -- The Book Reader
