First Lady

by J.J. Murray

Sister Eve Reedy, joyfully no longer the oldest single woman at Spring Street Holiness Church because of her whirlwind romance and miraculous marriage to white ex-Marine handyman Frank Kirk, is on another mission.When Spring Street’s cranky deacons scheme to retire and replace the beloved Pastor Julius Andrews, Eve renews her lifelong quest to be First Lady by throwing her sometimes coarse but genuinely caring husband into the mix to be the church's first associate pastor.Even though Frank will be the oldest and most pigment-challenged candidate for the job.Overflowing with holy and not-so-holy humor, romance, church drama, and riveting helpings of spirituality, FIRST LADY confirms that every incredible man of God requires an incredible woman of God—and that God has an omnipotent sense of humor.( This is the second book in J. J. Murray’s Sister Eve trilogy. CHURCH WOMAN debuted in May 2021, and CHURCH MOTHER will debut in July 2021.)

And we had church!

Loved the competing sermons. Those sermons were powerful. I wish I could have been in a pew at Spring Street Church. They had church. Frank and Eve's "family" were characters. Great gospel music references; I'll have to look for some of those artists.
I am really enjoying this series. I can't wait to see what Frank, Eve, Pastor Andrews and the Spring Street Church characters get up to next. Eve as First Lady is going to rock the foundation.

First Lady

This is the 2nd book in this series and wow it is fire. Eve and Frank they are lovers . Pastor Andrews love them , he is old wanted to have a real pastor to take of the church he is leaving . Eve put out an ad that a Pastor needed. They have different Pastors preach. Anyways Frank won and became the Pastor. Such an interesting story. Now into book 3. Love it. Good job J J Murray.

Eve Reedy was no longer a single woman at Spring Street Holiness Church due to her marrying Frank Kirk. The deacons at the church want Pastor Andrews to retire and be replaced. Eve have always dreamed about being a First Lady. Eve would like for Frank to try his chances at becoming the associate pastor of Spring Street Holiness Church. It felt like I was at church, the sermons were awesome. I enjoyed this book cannot wait to read the next one.

Best book ever

I loved this book. Eve and Frank are off the chain. They have taken the church to new heights. From the deacons to the congregation, the church has done a dramatic turnaround. Frank along with Eve has turned the church upside down for the better. Can’t wait to read the last book of the trilogy
