Forsaking All Others: What Did You Vow?
Raven loves her husband Russell and the life they’ve created over the past nineteen years with their two children. Since meeting her senior year of theology school, he’d always kept his promises. When they stood before God, vowing to forsake all others, he kept his word, and she had no reason to doubt him. When she stepped out on faith and planted Faith Covenant Church, five years ago, he was right there.
Until lately.
Lately, he’s been different. Russell says he’s not cheating, but then he calls her name. Peah. Peah is his weakness and the one he runs to. She’s the one he’ll lie to protect. She’s the one who truly has his heart. And Raven won’t contend with that.
In Forsaking All Others, will Raven and Russell’s marriage survive when the vows made before God, family, and friends no longer seem to hold the weight they once did?

After reading this I had to pause and meditate on it. The author did an AMAZING job writing this one. She has touched on a really deep issue many face and can’t see. It was well written and I love the support system in this book. When reading this book you will be able to relate to this story because it may have happened to you or someone you are close to. This is a must-read. Great job Lakisha Johnson.

Raven and Russell’s story moved me to tears! She a pastor with a devoted husband, two kids and a supportive church. On the surface level, all seems well, but Russell is hiding a terrible secret…one that could change the dynamic of their family forever. The breakthrough comes when Raven decides to fight in the spiritual realm instead of the physical realm.
This series just keeps getting better and better. The topics are many that people shy away from. I was literally moved to tears by this installment, because I related in more ways than one. It is a true testament of faith, self-love, addiction, childhood trauma and healing. My favorite character goes to Raven’s mom and my least favorite goes to Peah.
I highly recommend that this series be included in premarital counseling. Great job @kishajohnson.

Excellent Story
This story touched me in a personal way. I finished it in four hours. Thank you Lord for speaking to me through one of my favorite Christian authors. I am a Christian and this was very realistic. I loved the Scriptures, prayers, and character development.
Pastor Lakisha, I took off one star for editing. Harper was incorrectly referred to as Hannah, and Pearl Ann was referred to as Peggy.

Thank You
Although I’m not married, this book helped me in so many other ways. I thank God for the connection and direction of what I need to do. Thank you Mrs. Johnson for your style of writing because you know how to capture your audience where they are. May God continue to bless whoever to get what they need, how they need it, when they need it, and why they need it. Addiction is real, but with God, therapy, and love, all mountains can be moved!!!

I couldn't put put down
The was a reason why God had more to read this book last. This story sounds just like what I was going though as a alcoholic. The only difference was I was not a pastor's wife, girlfriend of anything like that. This battle was dealt with some of so I thought.
The grace of God brought more though this and so many other things that that life to me though. For me, this book hired home in so many ways. I truly truly enjoyed it

Forsaking All Others: What Did You Vow?
Well I must say Lakisha's Johnson has done it again. I finished the book in a day and half. This is the last book in this series, but I hope she writes another one. Was surprised to find out that Peak was not a real person. Enjoyed this one more than all of them,, will continue to read more of her books, GODS' blessings to Lakisha.

Lakisha what a great series. This one hit home for me having a sibling dealing with the situation different P but with the same destruction. Being the eldest I was like Rowan wanting the person I knew. It's such a hard thing to see the person you love become someone nobody knows. I will use some of the techniques that were offered. Great Series 🤗🤗🤗🤗
