-Standalone Novel- Everyone has secrets but Pastor Kenneth Westbrook has a deep, dark one that might surely blow the lid off his ministry. As a single man with a growing church, he feels pressured to marry and does so to boost his image. However, he’s still entangled with his longtime boyfriend, Timorious, that doesn’t want to let go.
After breaking up with his secret lover, Kenneth maintains appearances with his wife, Alfreda, as book deals, potential reality T.V. show opportunities, and a growing membership depend on it. Unfortunately, the pastor’s lies catch up to him and he finds out that he’s permanently hurt the people who had been a hidden blessing in his life.
Deception, disease, and self-sabotage slowly pull Kenneth into a downward spiral. Can he be redeemed? Or will he continue to preach on the down low?
*SPOILER ALERT* I enjoyed this book and the overall message. Kenneth's sex addiction caused his wife to pay the ultimate price. Wasn't a fan of how he treated those baby girls either. Too bad his family had to suffer before he understood what was important. There were parts of the story where more detail would've made it work. I wanted to know what happened in his childhood that made him the man he grew to be, more about his relationship with Alfreda, how her family felt about him. Small details that would've made the story, in my opinion.
Kenneth caused his fall from grace by being a greedy, power hungry, egotistical person with no sense of salvation. It's sad to say there are pastors that live as though they believe they're God, but what's even sadder is congregations that ignore and condone the behavior. Only after losing everything did Kenneth really believe the Word; he would've made a good pastor after the hard lesson.
Pastor Kenneth was so full of himself that he didn't think of anyone else, it was all about what he wanted and have full control of everything. Until it backfired.
KENNETH WAS HELL ON WHEELS FAR FROM A MAN OF GOD THE WAY HE TREATED HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTERS WAS WRONG.. I HATE HIS ACTIONS HURT HIS WIFE THE MOST HE WAS GIVING A SECOND CHANCE AT LIVING AND FINALLY SAW THE ERRORS OF HIS WAYS...
