I've been following this author from the beginning and not only has he been interactive with his readers, but Bro Sherman write great page turners!The church is supposed to be a place for healing, hope, fellowship and gathering together to edifying one another. Well pick up this book and you're bound to see 'edification' under a whole new definition.Pastor Carter, Lady Janet and their son, Trey (with his wife Beverly) are getting hit from all angles with the dealings from the Pastor's past. He hadn't been the man God would be fond of but he now considers working out his wrongs in order to make things right...but can he when faced with the devastating alternative? Some consequences were expected but one was not. Then add in the mix Monique, Red, Dex, Earl, Terry, and oh, Carolyn - Pastor Carter's daughter and the great Arise church congregants, you'll get to experience so much turmoil, twists and turns and simple foolishness that you'll find yourself talking to the book, to the characters, putting it down and picking it back up! Some of my calm came when Mother Williams was introduced; bless her! Unfortunately I could relate to some of the chaos that happens in the church.Venture out to read this one for yourself. I hope you'd be entertained and excited to read this and other books by Bro Sherman. It's short but it's a great read by a very hands-on, engaging author!
As a Pastor's daughter I can relate to the drama that happens in church. This book had me hooked from the beginning as each secret unfolded and skeletons fell out of everywhere. When I got to the ending it was like you better have a second round because I'm still hungry. I'm sure that it is coming soon.
I give this book 4 stars bc it was a fast paced interesting read. However I would've liked to see the characters developed more. The entire book was about who should be pastor after forcing the other 1 to step down. But who was Pastor Carter? Who was First Lady Janet, Trey, Brenda, etc.? The story was grossly underdeveloped...almost as if it were written in a hurry. I am a fan of Sherman Cox so I'm hoping Act 2 gives us more.
This story is want that is very entertaining and relevant. Most of the conflicts are very real and one can easily relate. It was as if I could determine my own church members that act exactly the same way. It is reassuring to know that we've all fallen short & are broken but God is with is in the midst. Can't wait to see how this story continues.
This is my first time posting a review.I enjoyed this book. Drama, spiritual leaders wolf in sheep's clothing. It's any example of spiritual warfare in the world.Waiting for part 2. Good work Sherman have been reading your books.
I liked it because it gave ensight into the politics of religion that most people don't see. I loved that it showed the faithfulness of a true man if God in Harold II that no matter what the situation he was going to trust God and let him order his steps.
