Confessions of a Deacon's Wife: The Truth She Kept Hidden
Deacon Randall Harris is a well-known and beloved member of Savior Christian Church. His charm and personality alone could make anyone automatically gravitate to him. Deacon Harris appeared to be a true man of God, a man who wouldn’t harm a fly.However, his wife, Deborah, knew better. She knew first-hand how fast the kind man could turn into Satan’s spawn. For ten years, Deborah Harris has lived a double life. A happy wife in public, but a prisoner behind closed doors. This is Deborah’s story.This book is to help bring awareness to spousal abuse in general, but also within the church and Christian homes. If you ever witness abuse, please speak up because no one deserves to be physically, mentally, or verbally mistreated.

I think both Randall and Deborah needed therapy because of their childhood. I’m so glad happy Deborah got her happy ending

I did like the story, not the ending, I liked how the story was told. The fact that the abuser was a church Deacon was unique, but proved that you can't judge a book by the cover. It was not believable, though, that his church earnings allowed him such luxuries. And for such a high profile deacon, why didn't the pastor or any of the members notice how he treated his wife, Deborah? I didn't like the ending because the Deacon thinks he's reformed simply by learning from his mistakes. And his wife thinks she's found a new love, even though she points out that his charming ways are similar to how she fell in love with the Deacon. Sounds like I didn't like the book, after all. But no, it held my attention and I loved Deborah's growth. Another edit is needed. Not highly recommended, but decent.

Confessions of a Deacon's Wife!
I gave this book 5 stars because Deborah's story was worth it. Randall on the other hand did not deal with his issues or the fact that he embezzled the money from the church. But he gets a new girlfriend and a new start to his life. It annoyed me that the author couldn't keep her characters name straight.

Finding Youself
This was a different book for me....I was glad that Deborah was able to get away from her abusive husband....He was really messed up from his childhood and inflicted it on her...We all have to watch the warning signs...I would have like to know what happened with her and her ex new relationships

The story had a great message. It served to remind you that “church folk” are regular people that encounter the same trials and horrors as many. Great content. What didn’t work for me necessarily was the style of storytelling, the characters, the lack of resolution when it came to the husband the abrupt ending and the spay errors.

Loved it!
I've never highlighted so many passages and sentences. I related to this story start to finish. I'm now with my forever love after an abusive "deacon" marriage too. My only negative thought was the misquoting of scripture, with the passage spelled out! Otherwise, a great read.

The beginning of the book was good and then about the middle of the book everything slowed down drastically and the story line just dragged on and on.The ending was terrible there was no warning and it abruptly ended.

Page turner
I was caught up in the story from the beginning. The emotional tugging was hard at times, but I didn’t want to stop reading. This was a great story and I look forward to the book by this author.

Book Review
enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book. I loved Deborah’s strength to leave. Most women would of stayed due to her husband status of being the head deacon of the church.

Confessions to Mrs. Mae
Very interesting book! I'm married to a Deacon and thank God he is the opposite of Randall. At times I couldn't believe the things she had to put up with. I'm so glad she left him.
I read this book in 3 and a half hours.

Never ok
I'm glad Deborah for the courage to leave her abuser, and to break the cycle. I was happy that Ms. May was able to assist in her escape.

Encouraging
I like that this book shows that you can make it out of an abusive relationship. There is good waiting on the other side.

See just because a person has a title in church means Jesus give them that title .. a wolf can only be in sheep clothing for so long

I don't even know where to start, but this book was garbage. It didn't flow at all. The book seemed forced..

Good storyline but I did not like the absolutes in the book, the grammatical errors, the typos or the ending. I am not sure what category I will file this book under.
