A Goodbye Praise

by Shalone Anderson

Elizabeth Talbert is a multi-platinum, Judah Award winning Gospel Artist. She's gorgeous, humble, and extremely talented, oh, and she has a stalker. She's not happy with her life of singleness. She wants to marry a "godly man." Her past challenges her happiness and ministry. Elizabeth wants a husband that can cover her shame and help guide her to heal. She wants a husband that will protect her. Life hasn't always been kind to Elizabeth, but she's still holding on. Bishop Nelson Andrus married early in life. He was so focused on ministry that his marriage suffered to the point of divorce. After years of being single, he now desires to marry. But the lady that he marries must be of great moral character. The lady can't bring shame to his ministry. He wants the perfect wife. Elizabeth's not so long ago past catches up with her, at the worst possible time. Elizabeth's secret may be too much for any man to handle. Will these two be able to overcome the hurdles of life to have the love they've both been praying for? Or will Bishop Andrus' "my wife better be perfect because my imperfections are not in my flesh" attitude cause him to lose out on everlasting love?

I tried really hard to finish this book. Especially because it was a semi-short story. At 40% through the book, I knew I had 2 options: Either stop reading it or break my kindle. I couldn't continue reading all the errors, all the dialogue with no narration whatsoever and listening to all of the annoying characters. I hardly ever give up on a book no matter how much I don't like it, but as I said, I only had 2 options...

A Goodbye Praise

What I like about the book is that it a faith-based novel. I was very confused about Lizzy behavior but as the story unwinds I begin to understand. My heart breaks for hurt and I hoped Bishop would be there in her time of need and she would accept it. This is considered a love story thriller so if you like these kind of stories this book is for you.

Hard to read

This book maybe good if sent to a professional editor. I had to reread several sentences because they just didn't make any sense. I love Christian fiction and will continue to support the genre. But this book is bad.

Elizabeth Talbert ( Lizzy) is an award winning Gospel Artist. Lizzy is a beautiful and talented person. Bishop Andrus is looking for a wife, that can’t bring shame to his ministry. Lizzy’s past catches up with her and secret may be a bit much for Bishop. If you allow God in your relationship it will blossom. The book had some errors, but had a good message.

I really enjoyed the plot of the book. There was some errors in the wording and characters names being mixed up but for the most part it was a really good book. It was a little predictable but I would suggest it to others.

Excellent

I read this book in one sitting. I didn't want to put it down. Even though there were errors, they ready didn't take away from the story. As a reader, I felt every emotion, I felt as if I was apart of the storyline, it was just that involving.

This book was not written well at all.

The writes must have just started out writing books. I tried to get into it but couldn't. Not good read

Not a good read

This book has a lot of miss spelled words and miss places sentences. It's also hard to follow and understand what's happening.
