Meet the Potluck Club--six women who gather each month to share their insatiable appetite for good friends, great food, and a pinch of prayer. Their seemingly unlikely friendship brings a little spice to life in Summit View, Colorado. But when they send up enough misinformed prayers to bring down a church, things get interesting . . .  
  
Evie's niece arrives with a broken heart and a big surprise.  
Lisa Leann tries to take over.   
Goldie's marriage turns sour.  
Donna stews over a strange encounter.  
Lizzie's librarian eyes are on the lookout for trouble.  
Vonnie must come to terms with a secret she's kept hidden from her best friends.  
  
But who knows what life will serve as The Potluck Club discovers that friendship is no piece of cake and a little dash of grace, like salt, goes a long way.

__Linda Evans Shepherd__ and __Eva Marie Everson__ are award-winning authors, successful speakers, radio personalities, and avid readers of fiction. They've also led numerous Bible studies and women's retreats, and still find time to be wives and mothers. Linda lives in Longmont, Colorado, and Eva lives in Casselberry, Florida.

In the small Colorado town of Summit View, a surprising multi-generational mix of women from Grace Church meet once a week to pass a hot dish and to pray. But the Potluck Club, as they call themselves, is a recipe for disaster when they send up enough misinformed prayers to bring down a church. And the funny thing: the more they pray, the more troubles seem to come their way. It isn't until they invite God to the table that they discover friendship is the spice of life, and a little dash of grace, just like salt, goes a long way.  
  
With charming, down-home characters, humor, poignancy, and a recipe in every chapter, The Potluck Club will keep readers hungering for more.

Six church ladies share the joy of cooking and discover the power of prayer in this contemporary, humorous tale of down-home Christianity.
