Publisher's summary

Delightfully mixing inspirational romance and contemporary fiction, Vanessa Davis Griggs’ novels are gripping emotional rollercoaster rides.

The wedding between Angela Gabriel and Brent Underwood promises to be the Birmingham event of the year - and aspiring event planner Melissa Anderson has been working feverishly to make it happen. During this hectic time, she even agrees to go out on a date with a most unlikely prospect: Marcus Peeples.

When it came to Marcus, it definitely wasn't love at first sight. But after a lovely evening together of Bible study at Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, Melissa has a change of heart. She learns that Marcus is divorced, a fact she can't reconcile with scripture even though she knows he's a good man and father. But when Marcus's diva ex-wife decides she wants him back, Melissa soon discovers love, divorce, and faith have quite a bit in common.

Great story! Don't agree with all the theology.

Loved the story of the spiritual underdog winning. The author's books are witty, juicy and spiritual. Although I don't always personally agree with all of the interpretations of the Bible. Still a healthy alternative for any Christian who loves juicy, fictional audio book. Thank you Vanessa!

Heartwarming

I enjoyed the scriptures at the beginning of each chapter. It prompted me to reflect on those scriptures and even look up various versus in my own Bible. It felt like Bible Study during the chapter where Marcus was explaining to Melissa about divorce. The story line was heartwarming as well. Joyful ending. The narrator has a beautiful voice.

awesome!

I thought this was a great storyline. There were tons of great references to the Bible and have great nuggets of life lessons. wish there was another book to extend the storyline on these characters.
