Shelia Rushmore thought she'd be the last woman standing when it was time to fight for her man. Instead Ace, her boyfriend of two years, chose to reunite with his ex-wife, leaving Shelia emotionally devastated. It's a year later when Sheila is convinced that sneaking into their wedding ceremony will put closure on the gaping hole in her heart. But it's on the back pew of the church where a new relationship begins for Shelia. She can't explain the touch she received from God on that day, but she's determined to be a better woman-a woman of faith. Since high school, Shelia has been chasing her definition of the good life - it's left her with no home, no man, and no money. But now that's she's living life for God, things should get better, right' Shelia learns that living a faith-filled life isn't always easy. With faith, tough love, and some tough decisions, Shelia realizes that the life she'd been praying for she could have for herself is actually attainable. Being wrapped in God's arms, she decided, was by far the safest place she'd ever been.

Tia McCollors' STEPPIN' INTO THE GOOD LIFE Shows That Being Saved Doesn't Always Make You Safe,
This review is from: Steppin' Into the Good Life (Paperback)
This being my first book to read by author Tia McCollor, I can say that it is evident that she knows how to tell a great story.
STEPPIN INTO THE GOOD LIFE takes us into the life of Sheila Rushmore and how she regroups after a devastating relationship. For her it is about looking forward and this journey leads her to faith. Though she might be looking for a quick fix to our problems, Sheila soon realizes that even being Christian doesn't change things overnight...and in some ways, her life is just really beginning to get interesting. This is a great book for those who might feel as though turning to God will provide microwave responses to life's challenges and might be getting a little frustrated by waiting. STEPPIN' allows us to see that the journey is not just about the destination but the way we are traveling along the way. Love this one and will definitely be on the lookout for more from this author. She has a way with words that is sure to give her staying power in the literary industry.

Are You "STEPPIN' INTO THE GOOD LIFE" with the Lord, Jesus Christ?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Steppin' Into the Good Life (Paperback)
Sheila Rushmore is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Her friend, Cassandra, has convinced her to crash her ex's wedding, she only have $20 to her name, is living in a friends guestroom and recently lost her job. Sheila is a high maintenance woman that doesn't have a man, money or future. That is until she opens her heart to God. As she rushed into a bookstore to cool off from Atlanta's intense heat, she meets Eden and life takes a right turn.
Eden and Sherri were church members that quickly took Sheila into their sisterly group. Eden talks about how "crisis is change trying to take place...when in crisis you better believe you're being changed, too." Sherri encouraged Sheila to ask God for her true passion and have that drive her into her destiny. With resistance, Shelia embraces her thirst for a better life by learning about what God, journaling and reading the Word. In step with the change she wants to be, Sheila sets out to step up her game by getting to know what she wants out of life, forgiving those that wronged her or she straight out dissed, and taking back what she easily gave away. McCollors uses humor and Christian principles to show that change may not be easy but it's definitely worth it. The supporting characters will keep you laughing and the situations are things that we all experience. Some of the sayings stopped me in my tracks and made me laugh uncontrollably like..."his looks had slid down like mud on a hill". While paraphrased scriptures really gave me pause causing me to think about my own worldliness..."owe man nothing but love". There were a few items that didn't come full circle for me - Sheila's job situation, her relationship with Lee, and her mother's health. However, the idea did get across...are you "STEPPIN' INTO THE GOOD LIFE" with the Lord, Jesus Christ? Deltareviewer

Pretty Good,
By Brooks J. Young "Domestic Violence & Homeless... (Snellville, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steppin' Into the Good Life (Paperback)
Steppin' Into the Good Life is the sequel to The Last Woman Standing. I was head over heels for the The Last Woman Standing. Steppin' Into the Good Life was an okay read. Sheila STILL has one item on her agenda: having a man. There was very little change with her character. Sheila's trials were a little too easy and someone always rescued her very easily.
I love that Sheila had women of faith in her circle and I hope it eventually rubs off on her. No one is perfect. I know that. But, I saw no real growth in the character - reading your Bible and prayer is a start and it's a great one. I would recommend the book to read but I would suggest reading The Last Woman Standing first. Overall, it was an enjoyable read.
