5.0 out of 5 stars Praising GOD through All things, March 13, 2003

This review is from: Mocha Love: A Novel of Passion, Honesty, Deceit and Power (Hardcover)

Mr. Guitard has given us a spiritual love story. He let's us know that all people can have a relationship with GOD despite our past and present situation. His use of the stories as a lead for scripture is beautiful. Guitard is not preachy but straightforward with THE WORD. This book is a love story with Christ and how we get there(via people or situations). I was moved by the first story, "LOVE." In "HONESTY" he brings all the characters together to show that all of GOD's children will meet I some place and time in their lives. I look forward to more from this talented and annointed writer. MOCHALOVE is invitation to CHRIST

This review is from: Mocha Love: A Novel of Passion, Honesty, Deceit and Power (Hardcover)

(Mocha love - a love of a superior quality-strong, rich in flavor and infused wih passion that could only come from a masculine Chocolate-flavored Black man who has his act together.)

This explicit definition sat me up for a steamy novel, and in a sense that's what this is. But the steam that rises in powerful bursts is from the deep 'inner-most' thoughts of men who have come full circle with who they are. James Guitard, has taken familiar topics: Love, Passion, Deceit, Honesty and Power, and has written inspirational stories from the soul of men who are not afraid to show penitence and reverence to God. Men who are not afraid to expound on the significant decisions made, concerning the sanctity of marriage, the power of forgiveness, the rewards gained from abstinence and the dislocation of self worth because of infidelity and promiscuity.

MOCHA LOVE is saturated with rich emotions that stimulate and inspire. The ultimate message from these stirring words is that resolute faith will keep people in step with God's plan. This is an innovative, convicting and magnetic book. This is one to read; it will relate to your aesthetic senses.
