Description de l’éditeur
Slapstick funny. . .the sermon on good neighbors and blessings in disguise comes just in time for Christmas. --Publishers Weekly
Even feisty prayer warrior Sister Betty has never seen the kind of trouble brewing at Crossing Over Sanctuary church. The financially-struggling members have until Christmas day to pay off millions in debt to The Cheater Brothers' Piece of Savings Bank. And Reverend Leotis Tom refuses to accept any of trustee Freddie Noel's sinful mega-lottery winnings. Instead, he hopes bickering church mothers Bea Blister and Sasha Pray Onn's money-raising schemes will provide heaven-sent rewards--while he renegotiates with God.
The only way Sister Betty can help Freddie save his beloved church is to open the reverend's eyes to his congregation's history of wildly unholy--but profitable--secrets. . .and stay two steps ahead of the mothers' "Geriatric Mafia." Between scandal and near-disaster, Sister Betty will need all her faith to prove that blessings in disguise are blessings nonetheless. . .
"One of my favorite writers of all time." --Zane
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The feisty members of the Crossing Over Sanctuary church are stunned when the Cheater Brothers and the Piece of Savings Bank call in a loan. Unless Rev. Leotis Tom finds several million dollars, the church loses the land that would have housed several facilities. In a Christmas miracle, Freddie Noel offers $25 million from his lottery winnings, but the antigambling minister rejects the gift. The characters (with names like Sasha Pray Onn and Knott Enuff Money) are slapstick funny in this otherwise heavy-handed meditation on Acts 10:9 15, and the sermon on good neighbors and blessings in disguise comes just in time for Christmas.
