Model, Mentor, Motivator

Body
What kind of a church would your church be if every member was just like you? Think of yourself as model as you walk down the runway and people are watching you. Think of yourself as a mentor, or a coach, or a teacher and you are teaching lessons to some people. Are you teaching wisely? Are you a motivator? Like it or not, we all serve in three roles; as a model, mentor, motivator.

As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.
