Pastor McAlester's Bride

Previously published under the title "Handful of Demons" Ms. Walding had to reconsider the title and cover for this novel, because it was perceived by potential readers as being "scary". And although it does contain scenes featuring the antics of some inept demons, in many cases their activities are more amusing than scary. The sole purpose of her writing is to make readers aware of the existence of the evil forces that influence our everyday lives, while keeping them entertained . . . and unable to put the book down . . . with suspenseful, romantic, and spiritual story-telling.

The dynamic, compassionate Edward McAlester answers God's call to serve a small, dying church in southwest Arkansas. Under his guidance the church comes alive to the work of the Holy Spirit - awaking Satan from his complacency.

The Prince of Darkness declares an all-out attack on the pastor's marriage. And the Evil One hardly fights fair. He sends a misfit handful of demons to lure Edward to Satan's clutches and destine his wife, Casey, to be the first casualty of spiritual warfare. Their marriage and their ministry seem doomed to fail until God dumps the problem directly into the lap of one of His most trusted servants, Witt Gregory.

Caught in a bizarre spiritual triangle, the humble and submissive Witt must make a decision between divine obedience and mortal love - when God requires him to intervene in Casey and Edward's rapidly deteriorating marriage.

Ms. Walding's second work, Winnoby Cabin, can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone novel, but is actually a sequel to Pastor McAlester's Bride.

Read and Enjoy!
