“I absolutely love Vanessa’s unique writing style. She is one of a
kind.” —Mary Monroe, New York Times bestselling author
When one woman is caught in the act of her greatest transgression, it’s
the beginning of her greatest transformation…
It started innocently: a coincidental meeting between old high school
friends—first loves—at Butterfly’s business, The Painted Lady Flower
Shop. Then came lunch, then confessions of unhappy marriages,
loneliness. It went on that way for years between Butterfly and Ethan.
That’s how they built the soul tie—the bond that, despite their devotion
to God, has now led to adultery. And as with all things done in secret,
they’ve been found out. Well, Butterfly has.
As a leader in her church, Butterfly is suddenly cast into the
spotlight. But she soon realizes she’s being used as a pawn to bring
down a new pastor—a young man who is upsetting tradition by preaching
about real-life issues real people deal with. People like Butterfly. And
as she faces a challenging search for truth, forgiveness, and the real
meaning of love, she may finally break out of her cocoon…

New York Times bestselling author Carl
Weber takes readers back to church, where preaching isn’t always enough,
nothing goes better with the Word than a song—and it’s time for some
hard-earned lessons in love, brotherhood, and betrayal.
Bishop T.K. Wilson has done all he can to make First Jamaica Ministries
a success. But with his last choir director getting caught in a scandal,
attendance and cash flow are down. To fill the pews and collection
plates, Bishop is counting on a new choir director, the charismatic
Aaron Mackie, to revive the church.
Aaron Mackie had been waiting his entire life for the opportunity to
prove that he has what it takes to be a big-time choir director like
Kirk Franklin. But while Aaron is more than up to the challenge, his
ways around women, both past and present, could cost him more than his
job.
Simone Wilcox is just one of the women who’s caught Aaron’s attention.
She’s smart, beautiful and sexy, along with being a highly respected
church trustee. She’s got her eye on the new choir director, with the
intention of having a lot more on him, and she doesn’t plan on letting
anyone get in her way.
First Lady Monique Wilson is far from being the typical first lady. She
does and says what she wants, and doesn’t subscribe to church politics.
Despite her shortcomings and a past rumored to include a long list of
men, she’s willing to do just about anything to protect the Bishop.
The members of First Jamaica Ministries are also keeping the Bishop busy
with choir in-fighting, romantic jealousies, and personal vendettas.
You’d think the Bishop was being tested enough, but a final piece of the
puzzle has yet to be revealed: Someone has been robbing the church
blind. Someone whose connection to the Bishop is far too close for
comfort. . . .

Weekly on Never Enough
The newest member of Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center stirs up
more troubles than blessings when he decides to rededicate his life to
God. . .
As the son of a well-known minister, Clarence Walker knows his decision
to leave his father’s flock and join Pastor George Landris’s mega-church
ministry is a controversial one. But little does he suspect it will
ignite a firestorm of revelations that will shake the heart of the
congregation—and his very own family. . .
From a long-buried secret that will bring the paternity of not one, but
two women, to light, to a parishioner whose long awaited love match may
be thwarted by resistance from an unexpected source, hidden truths are
coming to the surface. But most shocking of all is that Clarence’s own
father, Reverend Marshall Walker, may not be the pious figure he claims
to be. And since evidence of his transgressions lies in the hands of his
arch nemesis, it’s only a matter of time before Reverend Walker’s
life—and his church—falls like a house of cards.
Perceptive, moving, and emotional, Vanessa Davis Griggs once again
celebrates church life with its triumphs, tragedies, and all-too-human
mistakes—proving that without truth, there can be no light. . .

business. But when Seth’s former ride-or-die chick Samantha returns home
after doing time, Maxine discovers that two women fighting over one man
is a real sticky situation…

novel that peeks behind the curtains of one very complicated Florida
cul-de-sac, where the neighbors are a little too close for comfort...
Suzanne and Brad Betancourt have a lot to
be grateful for—their home, their children, and each other. They’ve even
survived the fact that Brad’s ex-wife lives next door and Suzanne’s
intrusive mother and siblings are just down the road. But Suzanne’s
confidence unravels at Brad’s fiftieth birthday blowout, when young,
voluptuous, neighbor Micheline brings a specially wrapped gift: herself.
Suddenly, Suzanne feels like she’s the one having the midlife crisis…
Hoping to impress Brad, and ease family
troubles that are already straining their relationship, Suzanne goes
into business with a friend. But the endeavor stretches her too thin,
leaving Brad hurt and alienated. Soon he begins to distance himself from
her—moving right into the waiting arms of Micheline, who is all too
ready to ditch her own husband.
Now, with marriages on the line across the
neighborhood, Suzanne and Brad will have to question their notion of
loyalty to one another—and to themselves.

relationships, Paula T. Renfroe introduces two thirty-something best
friends, each dealing with a different side of infidelity.
Aminah and Langston are best friends who have found themselves in a
dilemma. When Aminah learns that Langston is having a sexless but
very emotional affair, she’s forced to look at her own relationship
and examine whether she’s confused loyalty and forgiveness with
simply tolerating unfaithfulness.
Convinced it’s only cheating if she gets caught, Langston is sure
she can balance her good marriage with an emotional tryst. When the
affair becomes dangerously physical, Langston must weigh stability
against the thrills and risks of passion. And Aminah must finally
