In ONE MORE SUNDAY, John D. MacDonald turns a skeptical eye toward the practices of corporate religion. Meadows Center is a sprawling, heavily-guarded community of homes, commerce and worship. It also provides a base of operation for the Eternal Church of the Believer.
MacDonald has no quarrel with religion, organized or not. But he is quick to label quackery for what it is.

Published 2 years before the author's death, this complex novel about a charismatic church is considered by many critics to be MacDonald's finest work. Blending suspense, romance, intrigue and the soap-opera like fascination with what really lies below the surface of most relationships, I find this novel can't be classified to a specific genre. In One More Sunday, no characters are truly good nor wicked, and though riddled with secrecy and hypocrisy, the church and its leaders are only fallible humans after all. No character is one-dimensional, and no scandal is unbelievable or shocking, even though there's plenty of sex and seduction and swindling of innocent believers. The theme that binds the characters together is not greed, but how we cope with our baser emotions, among them greed. I recommend this as a fine, truth-revealing read to all who try to understand their religion but who are not so pious they have stopped understanding what makes us all imperfect.
