In this book Arkema tackles some real-life problems: an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, what is faith and what it means to belong to a church. He treats these problems in a realistic way. You will journey with two young people as they face these problems and work their way through them.

Arkema is the father of seven adult children. He is a retired minister, after having served rural and city congregations in the United States and Australia. His book draws heavily from his experience in his work as a minister.

He lives in Muscatine, Iowa.
