  <default_description>Blessed Are the Fabulous.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Life would be perfect for Reverend Betsy Blessing if it weren't for parishioners who keel over during her sermons, steal money from the collection box, and set her up with ex-cons. Not to mention the very inconvenient feelings she is suddenly having for her long-time friend, fellow seminarian, and verbal sparring partner, David Swenson. It isn&amp;#8217;t until Betsy is thrust into the position of senior minister for her church, however, that she discovers the real cause of her discontent: her fear of failing has become stronger than her faith in herself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is it really possible to keep a good woman down? Can Betsy reclaim her confidence while reconciling her clerical robe with high heels and the right shade of lipstick? A fun-loving look at a single girl&amp;#8217;s life on the other side of the altar, &lt;i&gt;Heavens to Betsy &lt;/i&gt;is also a hilarious and joyful celebration of strong, stylish, and faithful womanhood.</default_description>

It was like a chaste version of chick-lit :)  I really enjoyed the first 4/5 of the book...and I mean, really enjoyed - like I was grinning from ear to ear while reading it.  The end was a little rushed though. I have to say that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53631153">more...</a>]]></body>
