Mama B #7

A Time for Peace

Rate this book
One of the most beloved characters in Christian fiction is back, and Mama B's having a time keeping her attitude in check at a beachfront wedding. For her husband's sake, Mama B tries to keep her mouth shut about the couple's obvious differences, but how is that possible when the bride is young enough to be the groom's child? And speaking of children, Mama B's got a problem with her oldest son, who has been slacking on his landlord duties. Is it time to sell the house or does she need to have a good, long talk and let him know how the cow ate the cabbage? Kennedy didn't want to invite her sister, Whitney, to the wedding because Whitney always steals the show. This wedding weekend will put their sisterhood to the test, and Mama B is just the person to help them through...if Mama B can stop feuding with her own family long enough to hear God's voice in the midst. Mama B is a fun, witty, wisdom-filled character whose southern charm will win over lovers of Christian fiction.

Another Great Mama B Story

Once again, Mama B uses her daily life interactions to teach us how to live for God. She makes us laugh, teaches us and inspires us.

Mama B better than ever

I fell in love with Mama B reading the first book of the series. I devoured each book that came next until I had read them all. I have been waiting for this newest book to become available and got it as soon as I saw it. It is wonderful! I finished reading it in one day. Now I have to wait again to see where God leads Mama B next time. I love the way Mama B isn't ashamed to tell anyone about our Lord. Oh if only all of us children of God could be so bold. Way to go Mama B!

Mama B and her husband are taking a much needed vacation, while attending the wedding of one of his colleagues. From the introduction, something seemed off, but Mama B is holding her tongue. Until, sisters Kennedy and Whitney begin to make it uncomfortable. Instead of blowing up, Mama B goes to her prayer closet, in order to seek guidance from God.

In the midst of all the drama, things are beginning to unravel at home. Thank God for a praying and understanding husband.

This is my favorite book (so far) in this series. My prayer and scripture journals love when I’m reading a book by @stimpson.michelle. My favorite character will always be a a B and the least favorite goes to Son and the twins. If you’re in a place of healing, this is the book for you.

Mama B is back and boynhave I missed her. In this book we find Mama B and her husband embarking on a week long vacation to Miami to attend the wedding of a work colleague. But before they can leave family drama pops up with mama b sister in law who is renting her house. She has a flood in her bathroom and instead of calling Son she calls Mama B. Eventually they get off to their vacation. And what a drama filled vacation it was. Sisters at odd, two faced friends, medical drama. But they didn't know who they had in their midst. Mama B handled it with GOD fearing love. If you have been a fan of the mama b series since the beginning this one does not disappoint.

I really enjoy Mama B! She is such a fun fiesty character, genuine in her faults but always wanting to grow with her relationship with God. This book was especially fun with the destination wedding setting. I laughed of course at some of the Mama B-isms, but paused with some food for thought regrading how young people interact and view those who are more seasoned in life, but what good can come from mutual admiration and friendship. I think I have read all of Michelle Stimpson's fiction books except for the Mama B ones, and this book had me wanting to get my hands on the rest of the series!

*Received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review*

IMO, this book was simply fantastic! Because only was it chock-full of delicious drama, but it was a captivating 2 hour adventure ride, that was multilayered with touchable characters and moments that made you think.

I'm well impressed with this latest installment, and I look forward to reading more about Mama B's adventures in months and years to come.

Giving this one: 5 Brilliant stars.

Take Something Away

I love the Mama B series, I'm always able to learn something. There's always a self lesson or a lesson as a Christian, a women or a wife to take away. So many times I wish I could just talk with her. You know one of those sit downs that you know you'll be blessed in what you learn. I've lost the 3 women in my life who i could have special talks with so I do enjoy theses books.

Sometimes nothing is as it seems, our own agendas get in the way but if we can learn to go to God first and patiently wait for the answer we can no doudtly prosper

I thought each lessons was greatly written in each chapter
I loved how no matter what we thought about the situation learning to be quiet and pray about it and let him speak it all comes out for the good of God's will

I would recommend that anyone struggling to see how prayer can work this is a great read !!

Loved. This book

I would have given it a 5 star, but it ended too soon. I wanted to find out what happened to the twins. And also, if Whitney's young man stayed with her. I Love Michelle Simpson's works!

Excellent

I always enjoy any and all books by Ms Stimpson and this one did not disappoint. Mama B always has God in all she does but I was glad to see that she was not perfect. God has to work on each of us daily.

I've read every "Mama B" book and this story was excellent, as always. I literally couldn't put it down and read it in one day. My only issue was the number of typos. There are a lot more than normal...
