Nancy Werking Poling, author of this historical novel, tells the story of Leander Smith, pastor of a 1910 Brethren congregation in Missouri. Leander led a storied life. Among his many feats and adventures, he served as US congressman to North Carolina from 1897 to 1903, traveled the Holy Land, baptized 180 believers, and hunted with Teddy Roosevelt in the Dismal Swamp.

The thing is, none of that actually happened.

This book follows the many lives and lies of Elias Leander Muller who, in the wake of the Panic of 1893, abandons his family and reinvents himself. Eventually conning his way into Brethren pastorship through some very strategically placed articles in The Gospel Messenger, precursor to today's Messenger magazine, Leander tells lie after lie until even he couldn't keep them straight anymore.

“Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2, NRSVue).

Today's bulletin features a photo by Becky Ullom Naugle, taken at Young Adult Conference. Becky also wrote the reflection on the back, available to congregations who purchase bulletins from Brethren Press. In her piece, Becky asks: "How can humility play a part in our survival and healing? If we were more considerate of the needs of others, what would be different in our families, congregations, towns, and nation? What would be different in our hearts—my own and yours? How is God calling us to humility and thus transformation?"
