About this listen
The singles ministry at New Day Temple of Faith is beginning to unravel, and the pastor is considering dissolving it. Some members believe the only way to hold it together is by getting their pastor to join. And why shouldn't their leader show support by joining, considering the pastor's own single status? Some church members support the idea, while others frown upon the fact that they are being led by a shepherd who is single in the first place. It becomes an all-out war, with one side wanting the pastor to embrace singlehood, while others secretly play matchmaker.
Marriage has been the furthest thing from the pastor's mind, not because there hasn't been an opportunity, but because there really hasn't been time. With a needy congregation facing trials and tribulations, the pastor has no time to play the dating game. Being a pastor on call 24/7, who has time for a serious relationship, other than the one with God?
Eventually, decisions have to made around New Day. Will these decisions mend the ministry or destroy the church?

It ain't easy being saved, sanctified, and single. Try being a once divorced, now widowed single mother of two on top of that. Thank God, the Lord built Paige Vanderdale to be able to bear all of those titles without becoming weary to the point of giving up. From the outside looking in, that life looks good on her. On the inside, though, Paige is coveting what so many others around her seem to have, which is true love.

Story
Helen wasn't just born the devious vixen of New Day Temple of Faith. There had to be something rooted deep within her to make her inflict and feed off other people's pain. Perhaps it was her own pain that she had suppressed for so many years - an unimaginable pain - that created an internal prison of which her mind was the only captive. But once the demons within her break free, those around her better beware, as Helen surely becomes the epitome of the saying, "Hurt people, hurt people".

Story
Out of all the divas at New Day Temple of Faith, Unique has to be the most colorful one - she and her mother, Lorain, that is. Never one to hold her tongue in the name of keepin' it real, it's no surprise that Unique has not been saved all her life. It's safe to say that Lorain wasn't born on the church pew either. Let the church folk tell it, the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree when it comes to Unique.

Narrator for this book did the book NO justice.
The story was great as always. I love E.N. Joy's work. The narrator however made me wish I'd just read the book myself. Text to speech has more emotion. I wish the author could decide who reads their work. That would ensure that every purchase is worth it.

Great story...awful narrator
The narrator was sooo bad I could barely get thru the story. I never rate narrators as I never understood how important they were to the story til now. Her voice was like a librarian reading a book to you, no theater & no life breathed into the characters. Luckily the story line was good enough to push me to the end (although admittedly I did some skipping as I couldn't stand her voice at times).
