That Church Life
Book Review by Shannan Harper
Review Flight Attendant Natalia Freeman , Musician Michelle Hanks , and preacher Missy Jones are three childhood friends known as the Church Gal Crew from Mt . Zion Holiness Church .
Natalia is the leader and the loudest of the crew and hasn ’ t yet learned how not to say everything that comes to mind . Her faith has been shaken because of her past , so she ’ s leery around certain church folks . Michelle , is the soft-spoken peacemaker of the group but is hiding a tragic event from her past that has kept her bound mentally and emotionally . Missy , the pastor ’ s daughter , is involved with a lot of drama involving her philandering and abusive boyfriend , Tommy , until she goes to Jamaica , and is swept off her feet by a native Christian man .
Missy ’ s father , Pastor Jones , has several skeletons in his closet , especially one involving his daughter , but him retiring will not keep them hidden . All three friends strive to support one another , all the while dealing with drama , lies , and even murder .
A great story full of secrets , “ what is going to happen next ,” with a little romance mixed in . This was an enjoyable storyline that isn ’ t the normal Christian fiction . The characters were extremely flawed and made mistakes , but do make an attempt to do right . The author also tackled issues not often talked about in regards to Christians being put out for doing wrong . The author sets the stage where the story ends in Book 2 . I can ’ t wait !
Shannan Harper is a simple person who takes pleasure in the simple things in life . She highly enjoys fourthings in particular : Jesus , books , traveling , and coffee .
