Do As He Says
I don't want to consider that there could be so many false prophets standing in pulpits even though I know God warns us in the bible. To see leaders doing the things mentioned in this book would make many people run from God's teachings and his church. Why would the prominent pastor in this book - Karen Shay - be unequally yoked? That alone should make the congregants doubt. But the kicker is her husband had more morals than her. The Bible says to forgive but Michael was truly in love to grant a second chance. These characters' lives were so intimately entwined that at times it seemed unbelievable.
This book didn't flow well for me. It took some getting used to the writer's style. The scene changes weren't always clear. There were a lot of errors, mostly at the last quarter of the book; repeating sentences and paragraphs and missing words.
There was a lot of drama in this book but I really couldn't get caught up in it because of the Christian backdrop. There were good lessons but I honestly wouldn't recommend this read.

I teetered on the line about giving this book a 3 or 4 star. This was a good story which would make for a four star, but I felt like there were some parts/details missing. Some parts of it flowed and gave detail, then it seemed like other parts just jumped ahead.
Karen didn’t appreciate what she had, started playing with fire, and didn’t think her behind would get burned.
Tiffany was a mess! I understood the venom everyone had for Wilson, I felt the same, but Tiffany as a Pastor was on another level with her hate. People all people are flawed and some congregations believe their Pastors are supposed to be perfect. They have to walk through the storm just like all of us so we can see Gods grace.

Tainted Love: Hold me Jesus. The characters in this read most certainly need to keep Jesus close! A good read with lots of twists & turns.
