I tried I really did but I couldn’t finish this and it’s not the writing of this story as I’ve read Mary Monroe over the years and have enjoyed her books . Its the slow pacing of this story and after 5 hours of being on this book it continues to m" Read more of this review » |

"This book was our fall book club pick and it was just ... not a book I enjoyed reading. I may be in the minority, however, given all the 4 and 5 star reviews for it here on GoodReads.
As for me, I'm going to side with Kirkus Reviews on this one: "This " Read more of this review » |

"Ok I guess I'm going to have the unpopular opinion on this one but the writing style ruined the book for me. The premise is very original and the magical realism somewhat works but ultimately this did not work. The writing is overly illustrative and "

“It's why I despised prosperity gospel and developed a strong distaste for the ministers who preached it. I hated how they manipulated believers in their quest for wealth instead of souls. If allowed to, they would've flipped folks upside down, in the name of Jesus, and claimed every penny plummeting from their threadbare pockets... To earnest but beguiled believers, their pastors' prosperity was proof of the promise of their own. But they failed to grasp prosperity gospel's greatest hidden irony: believers' sacrificial giving ensured their pastors were the only ones, regardless of faith or sacrifice, guaranteed to prosper," —Roland Wade”

“l know you're for real, Roland. But what about the preachers who aren't?
They're the real scammers, right? Taking advantage of people. Poor people. Vulnerable people. Hell, taking advantage of you. They deserve the same treatment. They're the ones we should hit... Hell, Roll, let's just try it. Pick a few of those crooked pastors you mentioned—the cheats and liars—and hit 'em," —Nicholas Johanson”

“Raising offerings is a gift not every preacher possesses... If only thirty folks are gathered, I believe they've got my money among them. Even if one person gives it all, I'm still gonna meet my goal. If it takes three or four collections in a single service, rest assured, by the time I leave that pulpit every ounce of available cash'll be collected, be it from belts, boots, brassieres, you name it." —Pastor C. T. Lathaniel”
