Oh my goodness. Rhonda McKnight has outdone herself with this book. I love this story. She has you drawn in to the characters and you can feel what the characters are feeling. There are so many lessons to be learned in this story. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Great job Rhonda.

Good read

I enjoyed this book. It's awesome to see God live capture Samaria and even mekhi's life. Mekhi showed Samaria the kind of love, in the natural, that God has for us in the spirtual.. a love that never dies and is unconditional. Although God is a God of second chances we have to endure the consequences of our bad decisions. He let her know that he will walk through the difficult time with her. Forgiveness and repentance is key to allowing God to change your life into something wonderful. Again great book

Righteous Ways Samaritan Women book 1

I don't know what what I enjoyed most about this book. Seeing little Krissy struggle with the hurt of losing her daddy or the joy little Mary found in everything. The struggles Darlene had to endure. My lease favorite person was Sam's mother. This was just good!

Learning to be more like Jesus

Every since I read; An Inconvenient Friend, I have been invested in this character, Samaria Jacobs.

Her devilish behavior made her a character that I loved to hate.

But in the next book, What Kind of Fool, Samaria pays for her past sins and finds her way to God. She finds love with another rich man but lives in fear that her past secrets will ruin her new life.

I love the new Samaria. This author is able to expertly craft Christian characters who are flawed, yet loved by God. She teaches that forgivess and redemption is possible and that the Lord can and will heal broken hearts.

Readers of secular fiction will love her stories, as well.

I encourage you to read her work. She won't let you down. Rhonda McKnight is a gifted author.

I read this book within hours because I couldn't put it down. I loved seeing how Samaria's faith was being tested but God placed the right people in her life at the right time. She definitely needed guidance and was provided with strength during trying times. Her marriage to Mekhi seemed to be her anchor and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops in the future. I also can't wait to read more about their lives in 'Shame On You'. There's nothing better than a perfectly created Christian Fiction story that paints the picture without being overly churchy and distracting the reader from the message.

In this installment of The Good Samaritan series, Samaria Jacobs Johnson's past catches up with her and she is sentenced to six months in county jail. To help keep her mind off her problems her husband persuads he to engage in community service and finds herself at a homeless shelter. It is here that Samaria learns a powerful lesson about hope and the faithfulness of God. This a great story that will take your emotions from right to left and back again ( I really want to smack Benxi)! Thank you again, Rhonda, for sharing your talent with us. I am so looking forward to see the continuing evolution of Ms. Samaria.

Consequences have prices much higher than our initial thoughts of them! Samaria is living all too well...then payment time comes. So grateful for the choices she made! Focusing on only yourself will never end as you personally predict! Read the book for yourself to find out what & how she chose! You will be thoroughly shocked!!!! Job well done Rhonda McKnight...I am looking for the next book to see how this story unfolds...

Good read. Samaria Jacob-Johnson is definitely a changed woman and learning that growing in God is a process. Despite her own issues she puts self aside, something she's not used to, and puts others first. For the first time in her life she gives and receives genuine love & finds out that God can use even a flawed and messed up person like her.

Good emotional read

This was a great light read that packed a strong message. I found myself reaching for the bible and smiling with memory. We will discuss this book in bookclub this afternoon. I believe this book will provoke some soul stirring conversation. Samaria and her friends and family... Can't wait to read their next adventure.

She has done it again!

Each book gets better and better! Samaria is learning to trust God more and more. As I read this book it strengthened my faith in God! I can't wait for the next book in this series! I love this author!

Great book, Samaria was first introduced in Inconvenient Friend, a not so nice character. Rhonda was able to add more dimensions to her and made me actually root for her. This book was an easy one sitting read and can be read as a standalone.

Loved it. I love how effortlessly the story was told. Had me from the story was told. I loved Ms. Abby. I cannot wait until the next comes out. Refreshing story with lessons for life and living. All actions have consequences, but God always provides in all things.
