I didn't quite know what to expect from a story written using an e-mail format. It turned out to be quite interesting and easy to follow. I felt like I was sharing the pastor's experiences as he shared his new church and community with his missionary brother through the e-mails. Well, it isn't exactly a new church or community, the brothers grew up there, it is just a very different perspective now that the writer is the pastor of his old church. Many situations are shared, and dealt with, and this unique format had me feeling like I was right in Little River with everyone in the story. It isn't just a "feel-good" story, however, there is some suspense in the story as well. I truly enjoyed this book, and I think I would like to see the author deal with the situation the missionary brother is in, as well. See, we only get to read the pastor's e-mails and stories, but not the missionary brother's e-mails, so that has me wondering about the stories happening on the other end of the computer. All-in-all, I recommend this book.--- reviewed by Tammy Moore for Christian Bookshelf
