Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was almost five oclock on a lovely autumn morning. The sun was just coming up, and the birds were chirping. Bella and her cousin Troi, who was also her best friend and maid of honor, sat on the balcony of Bellas hotel suite, enjoying a cup of green tea. The crisp fall air had them wrapped in blankets while Bellas Vera Wang wedding gown hung in the closet with all the fixings to match. The ladies talked, laughed, and became emotional as they reminisced about everything that had taken place over the past four years between Bella and her man. Jealousy, lies, infidelity, pregnancies, and just plain old drama almost tore them apart, but the spiritual connection, love, honor, and respect they shared kept them together, kept them strong.

Download or read book Sweet Bye Bye written by Denise Michelle Harris and published by Walk Worthy Press. This book was released on 2007-10-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My recipe for happiness was simple: Keep your man by your side, keep your game face on, and if at all possible, keep a Coach bag in your hand. Besides, if you keep up the front, they never really know how bad you feel ... Chantell Meyers figures she's got her life together. After all, she's envied for her successful, high-paying executive job; spending all the money and wearing all the clothes she could ever want; and a just-too-perfect fiance, Eric. Sure, she'd be the first to admit she's never really at peace with herself. And she knows it's been way too long since she set foot in church-or thought much about her relationship with God. But Chantell learned long ago, when her beloved mother died, that if you can't forget your pain, the very next best thing to do is to hide it. Little by little, she has started to believe that looking and living good counts more -- and hurts a lot less -- than being real. Then suddenly her father has a near-fatal heart attack-and Chantell gets a major reality check. She promises God she will try to be a better person if her father pulls through. Yet it isn't long before her good intentions begin unraveling her "good life" in the worst way. Before she knows it, she's facing big-time betrayal in her personal life and a major meltdown at work. And when Keith Talbit, a childhood acquaintance, unexpectedly comes back into her life, she finds herself looking longingly at a successful, good-looking Christian man secure in himself and his walk-just the kind of man she's sure she's not worthy to love. Reeling from mega-drama and more bad news, this dedicated shopper must now look to God-and back into her past-to find out how she wants to spend the rest of her life. It will take everything she didn't think she had to put her life in God's hands...and truly "have it all."

Book excerpt: The fictional stories written by Crystal L. Watson and Grace E. Bryant, take you on a realistic journey into some of the struggles and battles that Christians face. We are not exempt because we are Christians. We were born into a sinful world, and we must fight against the temptations of the enemy (Satan). We uncover and disclose some of the struggles that Christians face in their everyday lives. Problems like fornication, lust, lies, adultery, incest, envy, greed, jealousy, gossip, homosexuality etc., are present in our churches. These issues are openly identified through fictional characters, but they do exist today in some of our lives. The intent is not to disgrace the church but rather to honestly unveil and attempt to deal with some of these issues. We have taken off the big church hats, the suits and ties, the high-heeled shoes, the pounds of make-up, and presented these characters naked in their own environments outside the church building. God sees and knows everything! Through these fictional characters, we identify social problems, temptations and evil persuasions that Satan uses to attack Gods Children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like so many others, Florence, along with her two daughters Eboni and Ivory, felt trapped in the small, gated projects of Shady Oaks located in the worst part of D.C. It was a place where the grass didnt grow above the surface and most wouldnt rise above poverty. A place where teens gave birth and senseless murders occured so much that people grew up actually thinking it was the thing to do. As a result, they turned out to be just as shady and willing to try any drug if it promised to leave them higher than a tree. And the new drug on the streets for young people was called Money. Although there was nothing new about powder cocaine except for the name it now went by, the kids in the neighborhood made it seem like it was something no one else had ever done. In fact, they made it seem as if it was so new that the consequences of using it would turn out completely different. However, it wouldnt be to the person they would least expect to succumb to its harsh reality, causing their perspective to change. She was encouraged to try Money for the first time by her closest friend. However, she didnt know it would also be her last time. When she felt her eyes uncontrollably roll in the back of her head and her spirit start to rise above the level of ecstasy, it is then that she knew she had made a fatal mistake.
