What Is Done In The Dark...,
By
This review is from: Illusions (Urban Christian) (Paperback)
Wanda B. Campbell's Illusions dives into the life of a pastor and first lady who put up a facade of happiness for their congregation's benefit. Denise and Pastor Bryce Hightower have been married for three years. Life is great until Denise discovers that Bryce has an addiction that could ruin their marriage and his position as a pastor. Denise decides to keep the secret and go on with their "perfect" life. She tries to get comfort from her mother and best friend, only to see her mother is just as concerned with appearances as her husband. And her best friend is so jealous of her she cannot even fathom there is a problem.
As time goes on, Denise realizes that Bryce is not going to change and does not want to change. That is, until a seemingly nosey neighbor sent from God, comes into their life and guides Bryce to the destiny God has for him. Family secrets are revealed and the root of the problem is discovered. When someone from the congregation is struggling with the same thing and goes to them for help, they realize it can no longer be kept quiet. Will their marriage be saved? Will Bryce overcome his addiction? Illusions will have you on the edge of your seat. You will not want to put this book down until you find out what happens. Campbell has no problem digging deep into some of the troubles of today's church leaders. Although fiction, the situation is REAL. I definitely recommend this book to others. I cannot wait to see what else Campbell has in store for us. -- Donnica Copeland APOOO BookClub Sista Talk Book Club

Sexual sin and the Christian....,
By
This review is from: Illusions (Urban Christian) (Paperback)
I know all have sinned and come short of His glory, but what happens when it's your pastor sinning? What happens when that pastor is your husband and his addiction begins to affect you? Your self esteem takes a nose dive and the respect you had for your husband quickly follows. Will you remember that with God all things are possible?
The premises of Illusions is quite often a hushed topic of discussion certainly not Sunday morning sermon material in a traditional church. Ms Campbell opens Pandora's Box with much needed dialogue about "sexual addiction" which often times get overlooked by sermons of prosperity and how to "count it all joy". The author's writing style was so on point I was able to appreciate how she diagnosis an issue; and moved forward without delay. She didn't place many scriptural verses throughout but you knew the anointing of the Holy Spirit was on the characters. Alongside the topic of addiction the reader caught a glimpse of neglect and abuse and how it played a major role in Pastor's struggle with addiction. I truly enjoyed this book and certainly look forward to future works by this author. Illusions have the entire list of ingredients this reviewer needs to consider this book a recipe of Christian Fiction. The main ingredient is feeling the characters relationship with God and being able to see the love of God. Have a seat, open your heart and fellowship with the congregation of Word of Life and find out if redemption and deliverance will stop by your pew. Missy Readers Paradise

Sex, lies, and deception...,
By EKG Literary Magazine "The pulse of the liter... (www.ekgliterarymag.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illusions (Urban Christian) (Paperback)
Sex, lies, and deception were things Denise Hightower did not expect to encounter as the wife of a pastor. Denise was elated to know that Pastor Bryce Hightower was interested in dating, marrying, and making her the first lady of Word of Life church. In fact, she remained a virgin until she married. She thought her life was perfect and God-sent; little did she know that her husband held a deep dark secret that had plagued him for over 17 years. A secret that he had never told her or anyone else in the church; until one afternoon she decides to surprise her husband at his office with a picnic lunch, she walks in on something that would change their lives forever.
The theme of this book is one that is not written about very often - pornography and the pulpit. Seeing the emotional turmoil that this man of God went through with his addiction to pornography shows his imperfection as a human being and a Christian. This book opens up a much needed discussion on how we handle this serious and often times overlooked addiction. Pornography can be the catalyst to end marriages and corrupt pulpits, as this book displays. It also unmasked many myths that confront the fact that we are all human beings and are not perfect, and have addictions that can be overcome with God's help. Overall, this book was well written and a great read.
