“A Pastor’s Story” by Tim Pinkerton has been released worldwide. This 244-page work of faith-based fiction follows Matt McDonald, a small town pastor whose young daughter tragically drowns, throwing his life into a tailspin of grief and guilt. Matt’s wife blames him for their daughter’s untimely passing, adding another layer of loss to the pastor’s anguish. As he struggles to maintain his faith, continue serving his church community, and rebuild a relationship with his wife, past mistakes come to light and threaten to take away the reconciliation he’s been fighting for.
Through vividly descriptive writing and sympathetic, dynamic characters, Pinkerton brings readers into the events of McDonald’s life with grace. The protagonist’s challenges are familiar parts of everyday humanity, and even when things are at their worst, audiences can relate to his deep desire to recover from the past and find a hopeful future.
While the events of the novel are spurred by tragedy and loss, the story’s tone remains hopeful. With abiding faith and ongoing persistence, the pastor faces his troubles with bravery, reminding readers that they can approach setbacks, losses, and sorrow in their own lives with the same determination. This uplifting book is an endearing, moving portrait of an ordinary man facing an awful reality that could happen to anyone. By relying on his faith and embracing the love around him, Pastor McDonald shows that hope is possible for us all.
