The biggest stars write bestselling books, grab high ratings on Christian television, and even preach. Bowler offers a sympathetic and revealing portrait of megachurch women celebrities, showing how they must balance the demands of celebrity culture and conservative, male-dominated faiths.

Book excerpt: It was 5: 30 am, and I was standing in front of my bathroom mirror. The past few months had been the most devastating in my life. How could our flock that we loved so much turn their backs on us? Just as it had happened countless times before and during many sleepless nights, those old conversations and scenes began to replay over and over in my mind. Voices; harsh and accusing seemed to drown out the voice of my Father. I had spent day after day in bookstores pouring over the shelves looking for anything that would hold the key to end my pain. "Lord, why can't I find a book that will help me?" But as I stared into the mirror that dreary December morning something frightening happened. God allowed me to see my face just as He saw it: old, wrinkled, bitter and angry. I seemed to age 60 years in a single moment. I jumped back in surprise, shrieking at what I saw. Then I finally heard His voice: "My daughter, I kept you from finding it...because you are going to write it."
Download or read book A Preacher s Confession written by Thomas Chesley and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I gave my life to the Lord, I used to get angry with myself all the time and I felt hopeless. I kept falling into sin and making dumb decisions that kept me from being successful. How could I be so smart and still be so stupid that I can't beat this thing? Self-pity began to gain strength. I got depressed, at one point I was homeless, and I gave up on myself. I walked away from God many times. One day my mother prayed with me and gave me a Bible and told me to read Romans. I later became a Minister. I couldn't get it right because I couldn't get past my addiction and my own self-interests. How could this be? I am a Minister. Who does the man of God go to when he is failing? The answer is clearly God. I became convinced that my testimony may help some other Ministers who struggle with the same things I did. Like me, they may be waiting on God and hoping He hears them, too! One day I accepted that even Preachers can fail. I wasn't doing anything constructive with my life at that time. I decided to trust God. I didn't know if He would do it, but I prayed anyway. I soon believed that if I asked God for faith, and told people the truth, God was going to change me. Today, I am a Minister in good standing in a church in Orange County, CA and the CEO of a nonprofit called A Touch of Love Works. When you read A Preacher's Confession, you discover that in spite of everything that is wrong with me, there is a side of me that wants to make the world a better place and I will do my part. This is my story. To God be the glory.
