More About the Author

I write Christian fiction but my characters don't wake up every morning saying, "Praise the Lord and Hallelujah." They struggle with sin, don't know all the words to "Amazing Grace", and couldn't find the book of Haggai in the Bible if somebody paid them. If you are into brutal honesty, real-life drama, and believable characters, I'm your girl!

This review is from: The Single Sister Experiment: What Happens When Single Women Stop Having Sex (Urban Christian) (Paperback)

When I began this book, I found it hard to put it down. Not only is it well written, but it speaks of women today with their urban lifestyles and how we put God on the back burner. Once I finished the book, I wished I had read it years ago and made a concrete decision to follow God. It's truly not that hard, but we make it hard when we want to keep one foot in the world and the other in God's footprint. I feel every girl should be made to read this book before she reaches puberty; every young adult female should read this book; and every adult female should read this book. This book should become the handbook for every female ministry in our churches today as a way of teaching our women that they ARE worthy of being Queens and need to keep themselves celibate until they meet their Prince.

This review is from: The Single Sister Experiment: What Happens When Single Women Stop Having Sex (Urban Christian) (Paperback)

As a male reader of literature by African American authors I get lots of suggestions from my female friends about what to read next. When this novel was recommended I laughed because I don't know any single women who want to stop having sex. I bought the novel because I like to support black authors and I must admit that I was impressed. The novel grabbed me from the beginning and wouldn't let me go. I read it in one day! The novel is a captivating read and the characters seem like every woman I know. I saw a little of my former self in the male characters as well. If single women want to know how to make a man act right, "The Single Sister Experiment" will reveal the keys to that mystery. In my playa days I would have burned it because this novel makes women smarter but now that I'm married I strongly recommend single, married, and teens to read this action packed, drama filled, emotional roller coaster ride. I hope there is a sequel and ladies you should read and join this experiment.

This review is from: The Single Sister Experiment: What Happens When Single Women Stop Having Sex (Urban Christian) (Paperback)

Author Mimi Jefferson's novel, "The Single Sister Experiment", was an eye-opener for me in many ways. A blend of hard-hitting fiction that convicts the reader to take a good look at his/her own life, with just a dollop of fantasy thrown in, wrapped up tightly with the certain surety that our Lord and Savior's ways are indeed "better than man's ways", "The Single Sister Experiment reminds us that many of our life choices are made by default; the loss of a parent at an early age, the pain we suffer as a result of our poor choices....each of these experiences leave their mark upon our spirits and we find ourselves spinning in a circle, unable to break free of the bonds that tether us to our pain.

"The Single Sister Experiment" reminds us that each day is a new day, and that while good intentions may carry us for a certain distance, they alone aren't enough. We must first seek our Savior and commit to making serious changes in our lives, recognizing that He waits to gently help us return to Him when we fail.

If you're looking for an impactful, sometimes unsettling read, this is a great book. Ms. Jefferson is brutally honest about the road Christian women often find themselves walking in search of fulfillment in life, and is equally honest about the degree to which traveling this particular road is a journey in disillusionment and heartache.
