Lutishia Lovely has written an interesting account of a pulpit pimp with an interesting twist to why he is sexing the women of his congregation. Rev. Nate Thicke, senior pastor of the Gospel Truth Church of Palestine, Texas has to honor his family tradition of covering women of his church. A young man, only 28-years-old, his star is quickly on the rise in the Christian community as well as across the country. Rev. Thicke is trying to honor tradition in his family by feasting his sexual appetite on three family members, as well as other willing sisters in church. As he spends his time making women feel good, he notices Destiny, a young sister in the church that made his heart sing to a different tune than what he was accustomed to feeling. Although she is the granddaughter of Katherine Noble, a woman he has been covering for years, he sees no problem with covering her. Trouble is, good ole' Reverend Thicke is about to find out that following traditions can cause another set of problems that will set the church on fire.
The book REVEREND FEELGOOD had me wanting to grab my own Bible to research what covering meant and how pastors should use it to help members grow spiritually. But what I found while reading Lovely's book was a bunch of low self-esteem women who were willing to do anything including sharing the bed of their pastor just to feel good or important.
Usually, I find it difficult to read a Christian book with such strong language and sexual terminology but in this case, the author was able to hold my interest. If an author can write a book in the Christian genre that makes you dust off your Bible while staying up late to research verses, then her words and story line has done its job. I enjoyed this book and recommend it for readers who want to read a book that will grab and hold their attention long enough to make them understand that when a pastor covers you, it should not be under the covers of a bed.
