    About this series

    The Bond of Love, the third book in the Finley’s Tale series, completes Finley Newcastle’s journal of experiences involving church people and church mice. Highlighted are the state-sponsored Underground Railroad tours, the eye-opening discovery by the mice that Historic St. Peter’s is a “Lutheran” church, a sheep-stealing debacle, and umpteen other developments. At last, Finley says farewell to his journaling days, turning his attention to another goal on his bucket list.

    Years later, his journal is rediscovered by a new generation of church mice who are riveted to learn of St. Pete’s past. Finley Newcastle becomes a hero in the mouse world, the only mouse who has picked up a pen and written a journal about the most important place on earth: Historic St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Oswald County.

      In the Beginning, the first book in the Finley’s Tale series sets in motion the journal of Finley Newcastle, a literate church mouse who writes his observations of the people (and mice) who populate a small-town church. Keen to monitor, study, and write about the parishioners and his fellow mice, including what others might think of them, Finley is unaware that his account may prove comical to human readers. Although English is Finley’s second language—his native tongue is Mouse—his persistent recordings are fervent and heartfelt, never lackadaisical. At the end of each entry, he records the treats and gourmet crumbs he and his wife Ruby enjoy. In his itsy-bitsy handwriting, Finley’s ambition is to record one full liturgical church year at Historic St. Peter’s. Most journal entries introduce new people, mice, and situations, capturing a colourful rainbow of characters. His favourite humans are Pastor Clement Osterhagen, his wife Aia, and their daughter Gretchen who reside in the parsonage. They are merciful, quiet, quick to forgive, prone to worry, adventuresome, big-hearted, and extra good-looking. Finley’s observations lead him to conclude that they possess a strong faith in Jesus Christ.

      “A charming ‘tail’ revealing a church’s congregational life through the sharp eyes of its own church mice. A delightful read!” – Mount Olive Lutheran Church’s Monday Night Book Group Rochester, Minnesota Heaven on Earth, the second book in the Finley’s Tale series, brings to light more amusing adventures and further intriguing developments at Historic St. Peter’s, recorded by church mouse Finley Newcastle. Finley and the entire mice village perpetually observe the anything-but-boring church people, some odd shenanigans, an underground discovery, church vandalism, and much, much more. Their top priority, as always, is “Safety First”. Pastor Osterhagen and his family walk by faith through the church year by doing what they do best: confidently proclaiming and trusting in Jesus Christ, their Lord and Saviour, for the forgiveness of sins, and relying on God’s daily gifts of abundant grace and protection.
