Mama B #4

A Time to Mend

Rate this book
Mama B’s address has changed, but her heart for people is still the same. When a young neighbor with special needs (Jeffrey) passes out on her back porch, Mama B springs into action to help him recover in more ways than one. But intervening in Jeffrey’s dysfunctional home life leads Mama B to go poking where Frank doesn’t want her to venture. How can she submit to her heart and her new husband at the same time?

Meanwhile, Son wants to rent out the family home to a trifling relative, Ida Mae, who still owes Mama B money from back in the day. Even if it weren’t for the money, Ida Mae’s character will certainly ruffle Mama B’s feathers in a way that only family can do. This may be the biggest challenge to Mama B’s love walk yet!

Settle down and sit a spell with Mama B and her new challenges in this award-winning novella series.

Mama B - A Time to Mend. This book was so inspirational! I was so captivated by the story. It kept me engaged. Mama B was put in situations that had her getting into other people's problems. She also has to deal with her former sister-in-law. Some of the drama in the story was something I was plagued with and I was glad to read how Mama B handled the situations. It showed me how important it is to pray and call on God before I do anything about a situation. I have learned so much from these books.

Love Mama B

Have all the previous books and I want to be Mama B and I want a godly man like Frank. She is funny, no nonsense, woman of God. She remains me to always and in everything I do God first. Michelle you at truly a blessing and God in you comes out in your writing. Continue to let God has you. He blessed.

Inspirational and relatable

I have read a number of Michelle Stimpson's books. I have always found them enjoyable to read. As with this book Mama B manages to get in just enough family and community drama to keep you reading. Good read.

Soul searching

Since I started reading this series I am more aware of my approach to duties and I am spending more time in my word. I love this author's writing style and would definitely recommend and read lots more of her books.

Love these books!

This whole series has just been filled with godly practical wisdom about life as well as a good dose of humor. It’s almost like having a sassy grandmother there to coach you about life. I plan on reading the whole series!

I have been enjoying this series. Overall I enjoyed this book. I will say, however, I was disappointed at the clever way she got across her possible own feelings towards white people and her own political views.

Sensational ✍🏾✍🏾

Oh my word! I'm loving this series! It is impressive and inspirational. Tells it like it is in this Christian walk. "Mama B" has no problem sharing love examining and correcting herself. The author's talent is extraordinary with her heartwarming themes.

Awesome

Mama B does it again. She knows how to remind the reader that God is always in control. Her lessons are useful in the real world too. We all need a Mama B.

Another lovely Mama B story. With each book it seems I learn a little more about how I can be more caring and loving towards others. The faith she has is something I need. I was very pleased with her and Frank's situation! And OMG that Henrietta and Ida Mae really had me LOL! I look forward to another book in this series.

Love Mama B!

I have now read all four books and have quite enjoyed them! Laughed and cried at the same time! So easy to read but Mama B's words hit straight to the heart! Can't wait to see more!

Great book, can't wait until the next one to see what's going to happen with Mama B and Frank. What about Jeffery and Mama B schooling, will that lead to something good for Jeffery. What about Ida Mae, will she get herself together and learn to forgive. When is the next book coming out.

Mama B is back and she's married to the good Doctor Frank, but just as humble and hilarious as the first day we met her. In the midst of her humor, she teaches the readers about fellowship, charity, community service and love. I enjoyed this novella and look forward to hearing from Mama B again

Mama B is one amazing lady. She is human but trusts the Lord and seeks His guidance in all things. I'm sorry that this is the last Mama B book. I've grown to love her and her family and friends. Her generosity of spirit is uplifting and an inspiration. We need more Mama B's in the world!

Always delightful!

Mama B books always takes me to a good place. They remind me of all the patriarchs in our family. I find a little bit of each older woman I've come across in my 59 yrs of living and a little of myself. Great stories that are real (Mama B don't take no stuff)!
