Splitting - Merrill, Robin

. .

Résumé :
What if the biggest threat to the church ... is the church itself? For months, New Beginnings has been the miracle church - a growing, thriving home where the broken find healing and the lost find hope. But when an abrupt change to the worship team shatters Fiona's trust, one wounded woman's exit becomes the crack that threatens to split the entire congregation. Tonya is determined to hold the pieces together, but every conversation feels like a landmine - between angry church founders, excited teenagers, stubborn traditionalists, and a pastor in over his head. Worse, Fiona is slipping into a darkness Tonya can't reach, and Tonya fears she may lose her friend forever. Meanwhile, Esther, the steady heart of the church, is shaken when she discovers that Pastor Adam has secretly appointed an all-male elder board - including her own Walter - without telling the congregation. As loyalties fracture, she faces an impossible question: How do you stay faithful when the people you love choose sides? And in the middle of it all, quiet dangers grow. Derek sleepwalks with secrets he won't reveal. Cathy uncovers financial irregularities tied to the church's newest benefactor. And a frightened mother receives late-night calls that should be impossible. As tensions rise and trust erodes, New Beginnings is pushed to the breaking point. But sometimes God does his greatest work after everything falls apart - when his people finally surrender their pride, their plans, and their pain. Powerful, honest, and deeply moving, Splitting is the unforgettable conclusion to the New Beginnings series - a story of conflict, courage, forgiveness, and the astonishing ways God heals what we cannot. Perfect for fans of Karen Kingsbury, Lisa Wingate, Francine Rivers, and emotionally rich Christian fiction that wrestles with real life and real faith.
