This was first story read from this author it was okay. The story was fine. The pastor in this story could have a little control( but they alway say flesh is weak and the pastor is the showed us that). I have read other religious based book for other authors but this book was a little far fetch.
This book was really good, with some jaw dropping moments!
Their are so many thirsty women in the world its crazy. I felt bad for Terrance holding that secret for so long. I figured he would get with his secretary. This was a good book the narrator was good as well. I listened to it on audible.
ReShonda Tate Billingsley has done it again. Thoroughly enjoyed this book, A Pastor's Wife.
A really good book...hope there will be a sequel. ..I'm curious to know more about Savannah and her ridiculous Grandma
I really enjoyed reading this book and other novels she has written.Terrence was the Pastor of Lily Grove and the Christmas Celebration was coming up, and Terrence didn't have a woman. Some of the members was concerned because other first ladies was going to be there and they didn't have a first lady to represent their church. They were overheard by some members that if he didn't get a woman they would be forced to get rid of him.So eventually he started seeing and going out with Savannah McKinn...
Holy Moly this book was horrible. I rarely read Inspirational romance, but happened to get this in a box of books that I won in a contest. The synopsis sounded interesting so I figured I'd give it a try. I didn't make it past 10% before I was throwing it against the wall in an absolute rage. Homophobia, double standards, misogyny, false righteousness, hypocrisy, it was all there on non-glorious display in the first 30 pages, not to mention that the characters were little more than tired old cari...
Page Turner...finished in a day. Tirle should be slightly different. Crazed contenders are 😆 drizzled throughout. When the teuth comes out I am in tears. Believable heart thrashing issues seasoned with 'good Christian' hypocrisy & dashes of church rumormill. Only noted a couple of errors, but qould definitely recommend to church folk.
Terrance, the pastor of Lily Grove is single and going on thirty. Big deal, right? Well it is to many of his parishioners, including the three aunts who raised him. Is he gay? they whisper behind his back, plotting and scheming to have him removed if he isn't in a committed relationship before Lily Grove's 100th Christmas celebration. So begins the comic quest to find Terrance a wife. There is more underhanded trickery going on in this church than in any daytime television drama, I'm telling you...
In this novel, Pastor Terrance Ellis is pressured by the elders of the church to find a wife in time for the 100th anniversary Christmas celebration. Why? Because they were concerned that folks may start talking about the handsome and charismatic pastor who in his thirties and has never been in a serious relationship. But the only problem with Pastor Ellis is that he keeps running into a bunch of crazy women who often times mistake his kindness (e.g. going for coffee) for being in a full blown r...
I read this book in one day, would love to talk with someone who read this and see what your opinion is.
I knew from the beginning that it was him who hit his grandmother. However, I can't believe that he was able to keep it in that long. That poor Savannah has been through a lot & it's even worse when it comes from your own family, her grandmother should have been uplifting her not tearing her down. It's such a shame that she had to go through so much to reach the point of trying to be a better person. I'm so glad that Terrance and Raquel ended up together despite every trick of the enemy, but it'...
I listened on audio and absolutely loved it! Janina Edwards is becoming one of my favorite narrators. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. The elder women of the church were quite entertaining and made for good comic relief. Terrance annoyed me a little at times and I figured out fairly early how the climax would ultimately unfold but it was still a great book. Not surprising as the author is a phenomenal storyteller. I always look forward to her books. And this one I highly recommend.
Although I love Ms Billingsley's books, I kind of hesitate to call it Christian fiction, yet I found the book very interesting. dealing with unresolved guilt, domestic violence, promiscuity, etc etc, this book has something to offer to those who are looking for a good story or have experienced these issues. Savannah grew up to get over on any man to achieve whatever she wants in life. She has her eyes set on Terrance, who does like her, but as in all things, her true colors do tend to show up an...
Oh, I kept turning the player off. Yet, I couldn't leave it off because I had to see what happened. Savannah made me mad & Terrence had no back bone.
Quick, entertaining read
Three stars is an average between the things I really like about Billingsley's writing and the things that I didn't like, but overall I liked this. Yes, it's Christian, but it's not typical "Christian romance" stuff.In a nutshell; the pastor is 30 and single, the deacons want him married or gone, his great-aunts have been pressuring him to marry and he has had many women after him wanting to marry him and be the first lady of the church. He finds himself drawn to Savannah despite warnings agains...
This book was a good read. We have Pastor Terrance who turned his life around after a tragic accident that occurred during his teenage years. His aunt continued to raise him after he loss his grandmother in the accident. They were hilarious. I loved glad that style up for Terrance, even though they were a little fanatical at times. I never really like Savannah but understand why she was the way she was. Raquel was a great character. Terrance worked my nerves. He was such a pushover. I am so glad...
I KNOW I’ve listened to this audiobook before, but for some reason it was showing as “want to read” here on goodreads. Since it was a good story, I relistened lol. I enjoy Ms. Billingsley’s work. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes a story with good but clean drama.
Good grief. What some women wouldnt do to get and keep a man. The sad thing is they dont realize all the lies that got him are the very lies that will lost him. This story was typical things that goes on in churches. The church members trying to run the pastors life and live off of gossip. They dont bother trying to get to the truth but just run with a lie and make it into to truth. It all makes for a good book. ;) The lies, the drama, and the unfolding of the truth. All so juicy.
