Sister Connie Fuse Makes A Grave Mistake [Paperback]

Pat G'Orge-Walker (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1999

Poor Sister Connie Fuse! She's been trying so hard, for most of her life to find and serve God. When she joined the Ain't Nobody Else Right But Us-All Others Goin' To Hell church and got saved, she thought her search was over.

That stuck in menopause church mother, Mother Pray Onn has asked the newly-converted Sister Connie Fuse to take her grave layaway payment over to the Dyin' To Git Here cemetery. She made a mistake and put it through the mail slot of the We'll Haul Your Ashes crematorium. Mother Pray Onn found out and has threaten to break her down to a nub at the next Prayer and Testimony Service.

Can the Angel-in-Training Joe Bill, along with the help of Sister Betty stop Mother Pray Onn from turning it into a free-for-all testilying service? Bringing an end to world hunger would be easier, especially since Rev. Knott Enuff Money, Deacon Laid Handz, Bishop Was Nevercalled and some of the other spiritually challenged congregation members have butted in. Read how they praise God! You do the opposite!

Review

"These hilarious short stories from the 'Ain't Nobody Else Right But Us-All Others Goin' To Hell" gospel comedy collection come along during a time when this country is going through a spiritual awakening. We can preach love, and we can sing and write about love, but we must live love. We thank God for author Pat G'Orge-Walker and her unique blend of humor and spirituality." -- Carolyn Davis/Word For Word Publishing

"This is so smart, so original and so imaginatively written..." -- Doris Cooper/Editor/Hearst Book Group Company

From the Publisher

"G'Orge-Walker's recent series of short stories from her seven book "Ain't Nobody Else Right But Us-All Others Goin' To Hell" collection has taken the internet, secular and religious community by storm. Do you know a church where there is a ATM bank machine and Blessing Dispenser? Was the pastor Rev. Knott Enuff Money? Was there a Sister Ima Hellraiser, Mother Pray Onn, Sister Betty and other spiritually-challenged congregation members? Was there an wingless Angel-in-Training Joe Bill. If you answered yes to the above then you have probably just picked yourself off the floor from laughing. This five star rated series is all that. The internet website...has received more hits than the collection plate on Sunday. It is definitely a One-of-a-Kind Gospel Comedy experience. Read how they praise God. You do the opposite!"

More About the Author

Pat G'Orge (pronounced Gee-or-jay) - Walker is in a league of her own. This accomplished Christian author and comedienne has an amazing mind and talent for turning her observations of church life into gems of sidesplitting humor. It is her own special gift from God that enables G'Orge-Walker to depict the often ridiculous antics of church folk without subverting the Good News or watering down the potency of its message.

Pat G'Orge-Walker has paid a high price for the ever-present smile on her face. This Mt. Vernon, New York PK (preacher's kid) has survived a raging house fire; a violent assault; a car crash that mangled her body and a viral infection that left her temporarily blinded. Through it all, Pat quietly soaked in material from her father's Baptist congregation and her mother's Pentecostal assembly to create the stories that keep readers and audiences howling with laughter. Pat is a 'kept woman' whose life is held firmly and safely in God's hand. Mercy and compassion season every word spoken or written by Pat, who makes her story palpitate in the hearts of people who readily relate to victory over adversity.

The First Lady of Gospel Comedy forges a successful
career as author and comedian. She has paved the way for
many others in both fields. Pat's storytelling is likened to
Zora Neale Hurston's folklore'a documentation of
American culture and church life in literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walker brings ANOTHER hit to gospel comedy!, June 14, 2001

By 

The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sister Connie Fuse Makes A Grave Mistake (Paperback)

Angel-In-Training Joe Bill and Sister Betty are at it again as they try to save Sister Connie Fuse from Mother Pray Onn's wrath! In "Sister Connie Fuse Makes A Grave Mistake" we meet Sister Connie Fuse, a woman who has tried all her life to find and serve God, and having reached the AIN'T NOBODY ELSE RIGHT BUT US church, she feels that she has finally found her place to worship. In trying to do right, Connie Fuse runs an errand for the cranky Mother Pray Onn. The errand? To take Mother Pray Onn's grave layaway payment over to the cemetery. Connie mistakenly drops the payment off at the crematorium, and when Mother Pray Onn finds out she is fit to be tied, vowing to set Connie Fuse straight at the next prayer and testimony meeting...will Joe Bill and Sister Betty right this wrong in time?

I laughed OUT LOUD as I read this story. Everything you expect to see at a church; Walker provides the EXACT opposite in such a comical manner you can't help but to join in on the zaniness of the story. Walker's story reads like a conversation you might actually hear, and the characters (and their names) you won't forget any time soon. For readers who love witty humor and outrageous, jump-off-the-page characters, you'll want to pick up CONNIE FUSE...and other Walker stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny with a message, July 28, 2002

By 

Joyce (Mississippi, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sister Connie Fuse Makes A Grave Mistake (Paperback)

The author, Pat G'Orge Walker, has created some of the funniest characters I've read about and placed them in some hilarious situations. In between laughter so hard it makes your face hurt, you get a powerful message. Make no mistake, the author is biblically sound in her writings and even more, there are people who really act this way. I think Sister Betty and Connie Fuse would make great movies.

This review is from: Sister Connie Fuse Makes A Grave Mistake (Paperback)

If you are looking for side-splitting humor, Sister Connie Fuse Makes A Grave Mistake, is a short stress-relieving read. Not only are the characters memorable, you may know the real-life versions in your local church. Pat G'Orge Walker does a wonderful job of tickling the funny bone and revealing the true essence of what it means to be a Christian.

Don't miss, Sister Betty! God is Calling You, the first short story in this collection of adventures of the "Ain't Nobody Else Right But Us - All Others Goin to Hell" congregation. Sister Betty makes an appearance in this story along with some others.
