About this listen

Wacky Mayla Strong has finally given her life to God. But does He really want a purple-haired girl with piercings?

When purple-haired Mayla Strong slumps into the back pew of her mother's church, she has only one goal - to get Mama off her back. But Pastor Paul's message pierces her soul, and before she knows, it she's strutting down the aisle in front of the bug-eyed congregation, lip stud and all.

Baptized on the spot, Mayla comes out of the water knowing one thing for certain: Life will never be the same.

Good story but author needs to let a professional

The author needs to let go of controlling all aspects of the book. I understand it's her baby and it can be hard to let go but I found that she tripped over her words too often...maybe she knew the story too well and anticipated the next word causing her to stumble. I enjoy flawless readings, truthfully I had to listen to the book twice because I was listening for the next mistake rather than enjoying the story.
I did enjoy the story though. Listening to how God works even when we try to control the outcome of our good intentions.
