God's Scorekeeper and Other Stories by Frank G Honeycutt

Quick. What do these characters all have in common? An anguished ghost whose interest in measuring mountains led to his premature death. A retired educator who takes a part-time job inside the cozy confines of Wrigley Field's manual scoreboard. An obsessive orthodontist known to evangelize his prone patients. A bipolar father whose zany day includes an encounter with the police. And a victim of identity theft, reconsidering his vocation.

They're all pastors, of course.

Join storyteller Frank Honeycutt on a roller coaster ride inside the flawed lives and vivid imaginations of sixteen ministers struggling to keep and make sense of their faith. At times humorous, surprising, sad, and even warped, this fictional peek into the private lives of clergy sheds angular light upon the complicated theological motives guiding those called to lead God's people.

His publishing interests include homiletics, adult conversion, and parish practice of the historic catechumenate, an ancient, protracted process of adult formation leading to baptism. He has over thirty years of experience as an ELCA pastor in small-town, rural, and urban settings in Virginia and South Carolina.
