Publisher's summary

Reverend Simon Jackson has always felt destined to lead and he's done a good job of it, transforming his small Houston church into one of the most respected and renowned in the region. But while the good Reverend's been busy tending his flock, his family's gone astray. His 19-year-old daughter, Rachel, gives new meaning to "baby mama drama." Crazy in love with her son's father, she's wreaking havoc on the man's life, even though he's about to marry another woman. David, Simon's oldest at 27, has been spiraling downward ever since a knee injury ended a promising football career. These days he's seeking solace in drugs - even feeding his habit by stealing church offerings.

Blessedly, 23-year-old Jonathan, a college graduate and the apple of Simon's eye, is poised to take his father's side as associate pastor - or so everyone thinks. Loretta has been a devoted wife to Simon, but she's beginning to realize that enabling him to give more to the church than to his children was her biggest mistake. As things begin to fall apart and secrets are revealed, will Loretta be able to help her husband reunite their tattered family before it's too late?

my first Christian novel

so this was the first Saved novel j have ever read. I did not think I would enjoy it as I generally like something a little more dramatic, but wow!!! I loved it and found a new favorite author cannot wait to read the next book in the series!!!!

We cant Judge

I truly enjoyed this book.It was well written and well narrated. This book was very enlightening. We mustn't judge noone.The minister was more loving to his church instead of his family.It made them very bitter toward their Dad.
He could see it but He did not want to do anything about it until it was out of control. This is a very great read .It helps you in every day life.

A wonderful story on forgiveness

I loved the entire story and was so happy with how it turned out for Pastor Jackson. That is why I say "Jesus first, family second, and the rest comes easy!

Good book

This book displayed great examples of what really happens within the pastors family. I enjoyed it great read

EVERYONE SHOULD READ

Read it quickly...could not stop listening! Will listen again soon. Recommended Reading for young ladies.

family drama is the best

enjoyed it. loved the family coming together at the end. really didn't want the mom to die. enjoyed her telling off those two women.

Good but a little predictable

The book is a good read, I love the narrator. A lot of it aaa predictable because it is so accurate in how the African American community is. overall I enjoyed it

Always A Fan

Being a longtime fan of author Reshonda Tate Billingsley, once again she did not fail to please! Great story line because it is actually very close to the life and struggles of PKs' and Preachers; that most can appreciate this book/series

Very Realistic

Such a true story in a lot of churches. Loved the realness. The narrator was great.

Who do you place firt in your life?

I enjoyed this book. It set the tone for a verse in the bible. What would it prophet a man ...loose your soul. He Soloman gave his all to the church and pretty much lost his whole family including his beloved and devoted.

Judge and be not judged! The Pastor counsels members in the church but grew intolerable for his own children. He couldn't see the but the congregation and board members saw his actions were unacceptable but the 134 members woke him up.
