Sweet Peppers-Sour Grapes & Wild Flowers, March 23, 2005
Sweet Peppers, Sour Grapes & Wild Flowers is an excellent, outstanding, and superbly written book. I enjoyed reading it very much. I can relate to the dynamics that were superbly described in the book. The descriptive analysis described in the book exhibits many of the conditions that exist in many churches today. The writer painted such a vivid picture of the storm that people can become involved in due to the unacceptable conditions created by a pastor. Even in the mist of a storm, the writer was careful by indicating that we should not get caught up in such a storm because it might cost us our natural lives. Many climatic, colorful, church activities, and leaders in the church at Kingston, Virginia were outstandingly portrayed. The creative analysis of the Board of Directors, the Circuit Counsel, and President of the region involved in church affairs, tend to believe the pastor of the church. The description of the survey conducted by the circuit was a good idea, but it was used for the benefit of the pastor. The writer pointed out that the pastor used the Constitution and By-Laws to cover up his lack of performing the duties required of him in Kingston, Virginia. The book is excellent because it is written with such an important skill that the reader was eager to find out what was going on next at the church in Kingston, Virginia. I would like to commend the writer for writing such an intriguing, dynamic, superb, excellent, and outstanding book. It would be good if the leadership of the synod, district, circuit counselors, and pastors could read this book. It would be worth their time and effort. The writer has an excellent talent for writing.

Book Club Assignment Review, November 22, 2004
To me the book was okay. It was very interesting pertaining to the different relationships in the book, but it was confusing. Mrs. Carter did come to our book club meeting, and I greatly appreciated her enthusiasm about her book and willingness to critique her work. Majority of the people in our book club did enjoy the book, but I was the lone ranger in having problems with the flow of the book. Maybe it was because I was the youngest book club member present, and it really wasn't my type of book that would keep my interest. I am a churchgoer, and it really amazed me how some church congregations are separated and divided because of money, jealousy, or hate. Good luck on the book and your future endeavors.

Sweet Peppers- Sour Grapes & Wild Flowers by Mary Carter, February 3, 2004
By A Customer
This author is creative, beginning with the title. I love the way she took situations that many church congregations experience and made them come alive! It forced me to think about how I interact with other humans. I admire writers who can
take a situation very dear to many, make it interesting, but also thought provacative. A must for all church goers!
Great job! Clinton, Mississippi Reader
