Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood

"Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood" by George MacDonald is a story set in a small, old-fashioned town where a new church leader tries to find his place and purpose. He's unsure of himself at first, questioning if he's really fit to guide others while dealing with his own worries. One day, he meets an honest, plain-spoken older man from his church, and their meeting helps him feel more connected and gives him a clearer sense of what he needs to do. This meeting pulls the reader into the heart of the town, showing how everyone's lives are mixed together, and starts the leader on a path to learn more about himself and how to truly care for the people he serves.
