One of the Best, February 2, 2005
This review is from: Wings of Grace (Paperback)
This book will keep you glued to it folks; Guaranteed; I just finished last night and it kept me going; You had one woman(Johnnie Mae)with a lot on her plate, when she meets this old woman(Sarah)who tells her a story so incredible that even she don't believe it; Ok, hold that for a minute; Theresa and Lena have gotten closer, and were now awaiting the birth of Theresa's child when a stranger(or not)graces them with her presence;Then is when the sparks fly; Hold that too; Now, add this special necklace, a person's lifelong obsession to get it, the search for a family that may have been right under Johnnie Mae's nose all along and you have the makings of a good story; You won't be able to put it down because you want to know what happened and how. But somehow, I feel a sequel in this too;

From Nuptials to Super Sleuth, January 11, 2005
This review is from: Wings of Grace (Paperback)
On the heels of her first novel, Promises Beyond Jordan, Vanessa Davis Griggs has written a sequel that promises to be a big hit in the Christian Fiction genre. In WINGS OF GRACE, readers are once again pulled into the magnetic life of Pastor George Landris several months after his break up with Theresa Jordan. Pastor Landris is now engaged to Johnnie Mae Taylor and there is a whole host of new characters to enjoy.
Johnnie Mae is a novelist who has embarked upon a great mystery she finds in an elderly woman named Sarah Fleming who appears to be in need of a savior. Pastor Landris is still the Pastor of Wings of Grace Faith Ministry Church in Birmingham, Alabama. He learns from some of his parishioners that despite all his biblical teachings, there are still those in the church who are caught up in tradition and a battle is brewing that may mean his pastorship is at risk. As they prepare to spend a lifetime together, will outside forces intervene?
At the same time, Theresa is preparing for the birth of her child, while she works diligently on a relationship with her mother, Lena Patterson. But a long, lost relative appears on the scene with some less than savory intentions that may threaten their relationship.
Each of the subplots converges into one good mystery with a few breath holding twists, as Johnnie Mae and Pastor Landris prepare for their nuptials. Vanessa Davis Griggs writes a magnificent mystery woven around a very tender love story that embedded many biblical lessons. She includes a bible verse at the beginning of each chapter. Whether intended or not, I found that the chapters each provides a more fruitful understanding of each verse. I was absorbed with the way she incorporated the lessons of faith, love, forgiveness and family within this novel alongside a cast of unforgettable characters. This was a great read and those who love romance peppered with a little mystique will not be disappointed.

There is None Like It!, April 15, 2005
This review is from: Wings of Grace (Paperback)
I had just finished reading "Promises Beyond Jordan", when I discovered "Wings of Grace". The only thing I can say about both these books is "There is nothing Like Them". These two books take you to a new spiritual level, with a cast of charcters that are very well developed and understood. I have gone on to share both these books with my co-workers, who too have found my enjoyment, satisfaction, and a spiritual revival.
Instead of me giving you any details of these books, I encourage you to purchase them for yourself, and experience the joy that it has brought me. Thanks Vanessa for writing uplifiting and rewarding novels. "There are none like Them".
