About the Book

Pastor Jerome Tyler “JT” Thomas is charismatic behind the pulpit, charming to all he comes in contact with, and lethal to those who linger too long. Since the age of twenty-two, when he prayed for God to keep him out of prison, JT knew he would preach the gospel. Bishop Turner makes it possible; but there are strings attached, and now JT isn’t sure he can stay tied down.

Cutting loose causes more problems than JT anticipated. When an old friend from his days on the streets resurfaces and his extracurricular activity comes knocking on his front door, JT’s life and the lives of those close to him spiral out of control. Now he will need divine intervention to make things right. But how much help can a man hope to receive when he feels he’s been forsaken by God?

BOOK REVIEW

In her debut novel, Girl Naw!, Lacricia A’ngelle  brings Christian fiction to life. From the beginning A’ngelle envelopes you into the life of Antoinette Walker, the counselor who listens and liberally offers advice to others. When her own life began to unravel, who does she turn to? Will the advice she has given to others be enough to heal the old wounds etched in her heart?

Girl Naw! demonstrates the power of forgiveness on every level and demands that one examines the hiddens areas of the heart and allow God’s complete healing to take place.

This is a must read for everyone struggling with forgiveness.

I just spent four fabulous days in green Charlotte, North Carolina. This being my first trip to the state, I didn’t know what to expect, but I wasn’t disappointed! Initially, the purpose of the trip was the Charlotte Literary Festival. The CLF was great, but the fellowship was outstanding.

Urban Christian authors were well represented in the annual event.

UC Authors: Lisa Watson, Sharon Oliver, Sherri L. Lewis, Ashea Goldson, me, T.N. Williams and Dwan Abrams.

Graphic designer and blog tour organizer extraordinaire, Tyora Moody also joined in the festivities.

The most exciting part of the weekend was actually before the festival. On Friday night I was humbled to have dinner with a reader and her husband. I was blessed beyond words when they made the three hour trip from Raleigh.

This was by far the best trip of my short literary career. The country may be in a recession, but the blessings of the Lord are abundantly flowing!
