Author Michael J. O'Hara provides a heart-wrenching probe into the mind of a nine-year-old child. The boy must navigate his way through the loss of his mother and the Christian family he has just met, while coming to grips with the spirit to serve God.

The Little Minister: Part 1 is a family relationships book set mainly in a church, with a man child coming of age both spiritually and physically.

This back-and-forth journey into the history of the characters shows just how much history repeats itself.
