The secret lives of church ladies continue to be explored in The Mission of Mildred Budge: The Short Adventures of Mildred Budge.

Like the first volume of short stories, Miss Budge in Love, The Mission of Mildred Budge collection offers a fresh and often funny behind-the-scenes look at Southern church life with an emphasis in this collection on the work of missions, fund-raising for missions, and the mysterious ways that people unite in the fellowship of the saints called worship.

The short stories in this newest collection look deeply into the motivations of hometown Christians and the power that fuels their faith. While the stories in this collection have a missions focus, they branch off into a spontaneous exorcism (Sibel, You're Getting Fat) considerations about grief (The Unfaithful Widow), and even the kind of funeral some people want (Muffins all Around).

Lifelong friendships are explored and even the best of friends in church who routine squabble doing committee work are rightly sent to time-out in the story The Doghouse Fellowship. One reviewer called it wickedly funny.

If you are involved in your church or in missions or in women's ministries, this collection of short stories about church life will enrich your understanding of how other people in the church think and believe. Any church lady in your life will want a copy. There are seventeen stories and a Bonus excerpt from the most recent Mildred Budge novel. The stories are:
