Sin has a way of catching up with you....

In Goodness and Mercy, by award-winning author Vanessa Davis Griggs, Gabrielle’s girlhood dream of becoming a dancer slips away when life takes an unexpected turn.

Good

This was a good book and I like how characters from her other books just make enough of an appearance to let you know where they are at. You might want to listen to "Stongholds" and "If Memory Serves" first. I liked the narrator as well.

From Sinner to Saint

What did you love best about Goodness and Mercy?

The spiritual journey this young lady goes through.

What other book might you compare Goodness and Mercy to and why?

To me this is different from anything I have read in a good way.

I am hooked!

I really liked the story line and how Ms. Griggs weaves everything together so well. I have fell in love with Johnnie Mae and Pastor Landris! I truly like how all of Ms. Griggs books are linked together with the various characters flowing from one to the other. I look forward to each new book! Also, I think Ms. Clay is the perfect narrator for Ms. Griggs books!

I Love the Scripture Based Writing

This is just one more excellent book in this series. The way all of them have connected and have not veered away from the glory of God and His Word is just phenomenal!!

MaDee in Kentucky

This is book five that I have listened to. I like the narration of all the books. I like her characters, the dialogue, the mystery building and scripture given, a strong, biblical teaching. But, I was somewhat disappointed that she had to go political at the beginning of this book. I’m sorry it did not sit well with me. Our country is divided by political parties. We need to stay with the message we all can agree on, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

#2

Which scene was your favorite?

When Gabrielle found the LOrd and began to praise him in the mist of the hard times. Whe she learned to trust and believe in God. When she did not allow anyone or anything deter her STANDING for GOD!
