Still Waters Will Come - Paperback

by W. D. Housley (Author)

What happens to any organization when the leader everyone depended on suddenly leaves?

In the small foothill town of Riverbend, Reverend Rocky built something remarkable. Then he drove away and left five hundred people, a worn carpet, and a young pastor named Paul to figure out what comes next.

Still Waters Will Come follows the people left behind - Maggy the overloaded administrator who cannot say no, Eli the overlooked youth pastor waiting for his moment, Mamaw the church grandmother who sees everything, and Barney the retired board member who fishes the Geordan River and keeps more confidences than anyone knows.

The setting is a church. But the story belongs to anyone who has ever watched a leader leave, a new one arrive, and a community try to hold itself together in between. Whether your organization has pews or cubicles, a congregation or a staff team, a sanctuary or a boardroom - you will recognize these people. Because these people are everywhere.

Written in the style of an organizational fable, Still Waters Will Come puts the story first and the lessons last. They arrive quietly. The characters stay with you.

The still waters are already in the river. You just have to know where to look.
