An Essence Bestseller
The author of #1 Essence bestseller Church Folk draws once again on her experience as an Apostolic bishop's niece to take a riotous look behind the pulpits and closed doors of African-American church life. When the longtime pastor of Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church dies suddenly - and wealthy, conniving Deacon Cleavon Johnson comes up with one too-good-to-be-true candidate after another - the women decide to take matters into their own hands.

About the Author:
Michele Andrea Bowen lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her two daughters.
From AudioFile:
Narrator Desiree Coleman brings spirit, soul, and verve to Bowen's story of Gethsemane Baptist Church in 1970s' St. Louis. As the church prepares to celebrate its hundredth anniversary, the stories of its members interweave to create a canvas of love, humor, and even intrigue, with the faith of the church members a seamless part of the story. All the characters are fully realized in Coleman's vocalizations, no matter their age or sex. Hers is a gutsy and down-to-earth, yet complex, performance, as required by the story. One finds it hard to stop listening, and often to stop laughing, and it's difficult to leave the characters at the end. M.A.M.
