5.0 out of 5 stars Another powerful work by a great author, July 2, 2010
This review is from: Goodness and Mercy (Paperback)

This is a moving and realistic story that deals with one woman's search for wholeness. Her life has been one disappointment after another until she is invited to attend Followers Of Jesus Faith Worship Center. The sermon moves her, she gives her life to Christ and then her life becomes one setback after another. Everything good in her new life seems to be counterbalanced by another attack from the devil. Gabrielle has to decide between the temptation to go back to her old way of life and her desire to stand her ground and hold onto God's hand no matter what.

This book gives a realistic depiction of church life- the good, the bad and the ugly. Everyone who attends a church is not there for a good purpose in real life, and the same holds true in Griggs' fictional one. However, the pastor is determined to follow Jesus at all costs, and he holds fast in leading his congregation to do the same. I highly recommend all of Vanessa Davis Griggs' books.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Never Lose with Jesus, February 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Goodness and Mercy (Paperback)
An interesting read that explored the life of one woman's road after salvation. This book carried with it a common thread that God is with us at all times. I loved the way the author began each chapter with a scripture reminding the reader that God must be at the forefront of all that we do. And with Gabrielle, the main character, she made it plain and kept it real. No matter what the enemy threw her way, she stood her ground which is the foundation of faith. Although fictional, there is something many can learn from her life...remaining steadfast in the word at any cost. You never lose with Jesus.

May Vanessa's work be a blessing to all that read.

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Goodness and Mercy (Paperback)
The first chapter will actually GRIP you. Vanessa had me sold by the first paragraph because it is so well written, so strong, and so persuasive.

The heroine Mercedes Gabrielle is very easy to relate to and empathize with, I actually missed her a bit when I finished the book.
