What happens when strong-willed women get tired of one person running everything?
A sparkling, comic disregard for change.
If you’re looking for a sweet book about dealing with change — this isn’t it. But you will laugh as a cast of lively characters push through conflicted times.
The Lutheran Ladies are sassy, have “strong-spine” opinions, and have stepped out of your office, your kid’s soccer … have stepped out of your office, your kid’s soccer club, or your church to live on these pages. They deal with change — sometimes poorly — but with humor and heartache; they’re on life’s journey.
In Book One: Vera Henley has pulled the strings of the Lutheran Ladies Circle for years; now everything is unraveling. Traditions are changing. Even the annual rummage sale can’t escape modernization. And the independent Circle women are cheering the changes — all except for Vera. Her humorous efforts to stop time time are often heart-breaking. And when her high-maintenance, crazy aunt introduces even more rebellion and upheaval, Vera is forced to pick through the chaos and choose: Which threads of change should she pluck — or can she bend others to do it her way?

Very true to life about church committees. No romance. Good ending.
Didn’t like it. Didn’t finish it.
Unfortunately, this does go on in our churches.
True to life
Good message but predictable.
Shows many reasons why I won’t step foot in a religion bldg. Fighting, back stabbing, one or a few thinking they are better than others…I stopped reading it
Only read the first chapter. Glad it was free! Boring.
Outstanding book for anyone who enjoys a funny look at ladies trying to adjust to changes in their church. A new, fresh out of the seminary minister and the Ladies Circle group adjust to his fresh ideas and the “way everything has always been done”. A laugh a minute.
boring. not original… at all
While a fictional story, it’s a real life story about people trying their best to be good people, and yes, they really are!!!!
This book is extremely well written and very entertaining. It’s realistic, light, easy reading, with excellent character development. The humorous dialogue and situations are so relatable. This is a light-hearted look at church relationships that can be found in any church, not just the Lutherans. Fun read.
Loved the books I read in this series. After this first one, I was hooked!
