Mama B #3

A Time to Love

Rate this book
Mama B was supposed to be helping people at the community food pantry, but Eunice needs more than just a bag full of canned goods. Though Eunice has plenty money, she can't seem to manage what matters most in life. Maybe if she stopped all the "cigarette-ment" (as Henrietta says) she might turn out all right.
Meanwhile, Dr. Wilson's not letting up on his pursuit of Mama B. Will he come on too strong and scare her away, or will Mama B throw caution to the wind and fall in love at age 72? Catch up with Mama B again in the small town of Peasner, TX. She's still servin' wisdom and humor as only she can. National bestselling author presents novella #3 in the Mama B series.

I’ve really enjoyed all three of the books I’ve read in this series and plan on reading the rest of them! They are good stories filled with godly wisdom yet show that we all struggle to live like the Lord wants and it’s a daily struggle to live by the Spirit when our flesh just wants our own way. I especially like that they take place in the South which I dearly love.I highly recommend them.

Mama B have done it again. I am very happy that she finally allowed herself to love again......and the doctor is a good man to her. It would be nice to see what finally happens with Eunice with her illness and her son. My goodness the minister also finds love, that was great also. A book number 4 would be nice if it's not stretching it too far. You need to read all three books you will enjoy them.

Michelle Stimpson does it again with another thought provoking book. This book was centered around love. This book really makes you look deep into the heart. Are you really displaying the love that Christ has really given you and much more. Mama B is an alright kind of lady. If you want to know what happens you need to read it for yourself. :)

Michelle Stimpson is an author new to me, but her impact hit me right between the eyes and the head and the heart! She is a magnificient writer of Christian Fiction (and I like Christian Fiction with some "ZAAANG" to it! You wont be disappointed by any of her works. I still remember Mama B like she was a member of my own family! Good Reading...

A Time for Love. This book really touches on different types of ways to love. Mama B volunteers at the food pantry, but she comes across a woman with issues and needs help getting food. She discovers Eunice is homeless and doesn't want any handouts. Eunice gets in trouble and gets hurt and Mama B invites her in her home. That proves to be a little more than Mama B bargained for. Mama B and Frank start to get closer and Mama B gives her first kiss to Frank and start the romance she thought she would not have after Albert died and thought she was too old to love again. Frank proves her wrong. This book is great and gives great messages about love from God's perspective.

Incredible ✍🏾

This book strengthened my determination to continue to love like Jesus loves. The series so far has taught me that no one is perfect however, if we show God's love 10,000 prison guards will be unemployed. (A quote from " Mama B-A Time to Love."). Many other frightful, egregious and inadequate situations would be resolved... LOVE!

Everyone needs a new beginning. From employment, a new environment or a new relationship. Sometimes change is good and necessary. Thank God He is over it all.

Review:

"Mama B - A time to Love" by Michelle Stimpson was the third book in this series that was truly a wonderful Christian read...just like the others...Book 1 and 2. This one deals with Mama B (Beatrice Jackson) finally allowing herself to love again and Eunice. Also it looks like Mama B's minister my even find love again. The read was again a story of love backed up by the scriptures and once you start the read it will be hard to put down until the end. "From this novel Mama B - A Time to Love" we find that not only does she learn a lesson in how to love someone, she also will learns how one can love one that is very unlovable and in the end how to get a lesson to receive the sweetest love for herself.

If you would like a good Christian read "Mama B A Time to Love" would be a novel that I would definitely recommend to you as a amazing good read. All of the novels Book 1, 2 and 3 are simply off the chart good reading by this author.

Mama B is back, with her wit and wisdom. Just when she thought she had her house to herself, she meets Eunice, an elderly disabled homeless woman that is need of food. Shelter and the love of God. Mama B obeys the command of The Lord and takes her in. Meanwhile, she is courting with Dr. Frank and finds herself falling in love.

I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read part 4.

What a wonderful series! I love Mama B and her friends...and, of course, Frank. The book will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The Spirit works through B in a beautiful way. She's human but definitely let's God's word guide her. Wish I could follow her example. Definitely pick this one up and get lost.

YAY!

Oh, Michelle. How I love your character, Mama B. She reminds me to keep my mouth shut when the devil is present. She is everything I want to be when I grow up. Thank you for a beautiful series and helping me stay on The Path with Mama B's word's of wisdom.
