Grady Gilbert Googles God - Paperback

by Dale Slongwhite (Author)

When nineteen-year old Grady Gilbert seeks gas money in a rural Tennessee church, the congregation assumes he is the straight-out-of-the seminary pastor for whom they've been waiting. The truth is, Grady lost his college basketball scholarship. Matt the Rat, his stepfather, refused to let him live at home, and Grady stole Matt's antique Pontiac and drove off without a plan.With limited church exposure, Grady figures pastoring couldn't be too difficult-he wouldn't have to punch a time clock or report to a boss-so he does not correct the congregation's misunderstanding. When he runs into obstacles, Grady simply searches the Internet for guidance. The one insurmountable obstacle is Mae-June, the church secretary whose trust he can't seem to win.In the beginning, impersonating a pastor was a joke to Grady, but somewhere along the line all that changes when he beginsto care.
