As Perry Most begins his ministry in the small town of Wildcat, Missouri, he quickly discovers that life as a pastor is rewarding, challenging, frustrating, and often hilarious—all at the same time.
Together with his wife, Kris, Perry experiences the joy of watching God transform lives while navigating the everyday triumphs and trials of serving a close-knit congregation. As they settle into their new home, they uncover the rich history of Wildcat, including the touching, turn-of-the-century tale of the town’s own Romeo and Juliet.
Filled with faith, humor, heartwarming moments, and small-town charm, Married to Christmas 2: Wildcat, MO is an inspiring Christian novel about love, community, and the unexpected ways God works through ordinary people.
Come along with Perry and Kris as they discover that God’s greatest blessings are often found where they least expect them.
