Book Description
Mrs. Ogg Played the Harp tells the touching and funny story of an untested woman minister who ventures to the high country of Arizona where she accepts a pulpit in a small church in a Country Club. She enjoys her ministry in the Wild West, except for her quarrels with Christian doctrine and her husband’s love affair. This memoir is the story of confronting a husband’s betrayal, coping with troublesome Christian beliefs, and finding God among critics, conservatives, and a compelling landscape.
