Sometimes It Causes Me to Tremble

By Charles Turner

Book Overview

When George McKenna preaches a sermon on the good Samaritan, little does he imagine Rose Templeton, a widow in his congregation, will take it quite so seriously. The next thing he knows, Rose has taken in a homeless man, and not long thereafter something happens that turns George's world upside down. Anyone who thinks a modern pastor's life is dull and mundane will think again as they meet such colorful characters as Sweet Martha Lester, Joel Scotney, and Dusty Case. And anyone who wonders if Christianity really works ""where the rubber meets the road"" will be amazed by the earthshaking reply this novel supplies.

Customer Reviews

Charles Turner's book is a pleasure.

I loved this book! The mystery was intriguing and his depiction of Christianity-in-action was challenging. Charles Turner's characters could be found in the pews of any church. He writes realistically about the questions we must ask ourselves as we struggle to live our faith in these confusing times. This book both provokes thought and brings pure enjoyment.

Superb realism and emotional challenge.

Charles Turner has a friendly writing style that's realistic and thought provoking. I think I'll carry this story and its message with me forever--to refer back to every time my Christianity is challenged. What kind of a Christian am I, anyway? And just how far am I willing to go in loving my neighbor as myself? Mr. Turner has me asking myself these questions.
