Overview
Three clergy women nurture the people of Triumph County, Wyoming, especially three teens understanding who they’re meant to be and what life has in store for them.
It's almost Christmas in Triumph County, and pastors Birdie, Ara Grace, and Nel are leading their communities through the four traditional Advent pillars of hope, peace, joy, and love. But between the first-ever all-Triumph kid's Christmas program and each woman's personal lives, these traits are elusive. Families are demanding, marriages are in crisis, and the true meaning of Christmas is at stake. Meanwhile, teenagers Sarah, Laela, and Johnny Tae are joined by newly sober buddy Morgan as they navigate identity, belonging, and their futures. Each member of this small Wyoming community is asking themselves, “What is all of this really for?” In For the Love of Triumph, the second book in the Seasons of Triumph series, tidy answers are hard to fine, but just asking the question surrounds their community love.
