Pastor C. Raymond Holmes' world crumbled down on him. His family life, his career, his religion--everything important in his life--suddenly reeled from a totally unexpected challenge that threatened to destroy them. And the threat came from the person closest to him--his wife. Shirley, who had been the companion and support of his life and career, suddenly became a stranger in his home. The successful pastor of a six-hundred-member church, Holmes returned one morning to find that Shirley had left the children with a baby sitter and gone with a close friend to the meeting of another church. Mrs. Holmes' friend belonged to a religious group that Pastor Holmes considered purely legalistic and false in its teachings. How, he wondered in panic and grief, could he pastor his congregation while his wife belonged to a group that many classified as a sect? How could his marriage continue when his wife's whole outlook had seemingly changed? Would everything he had worked to accomplish for God vanish because of Shirley's actions? His health deteriorated as he pondered what to do. He, a man who had preached the love of Christ, now found hatred poisoning his life. Should he force her to choose between their family and her new religious beliefs? Was she mentally ill? Stranger in My Home is the gripping religious odyssey of a man facing the destruction of all his beliefs and lifework, of an individual courageously facing the need to search for truth.
