Book Description

April 6, 2010 Second Chance at Love
Melinda Johnson has always felt called to ministry. So, when her father, Bishop Langston Johnson, decides to step down after thirty years of leadership at Omega Christian Center, it seems only natural for her to take his place. But Bishop Johnson feels led by a God who has other things in mind, and to succeed him, he appoints Steven Marks-a man who is opposed to female pastors, not to mention the fact that he is Melinda's ex-fiancé.

Feeling defeated, Melinda nevertheless maintains her position as the church's Missions and Community Outreach Director. Frequent interaction with the new bishop incites bitter sparring-and rekindles long-suppressed attraction, which grows only stronger when Melinda develops a relationship with Steven's precious daughter, Brianna, who's still struggling with the death of her mother.

Can Steven and Melinda set aside past pains, forgive each other, and learn to love again? Or will their opposing positions regarding women preachers keep them forever at odds?

5.0 out of 5 stars Yesterday's Promise, March 22, 2010
This review is from: Yesterday's Promise (Second Chance at Love) (Paperback)
Awesome book!

I've been reading Vanessa's book since she first started. I still have a tee shirt she autographed which had her first book on it. I enjoy all her books, which left me wanting for more.

Yesterday's Promise was special for me, because it really hit home. I know it is fiction, but Yesterday's Promise really ministered to me and has me wanting to read it again. It ministered to me about forgiveness, past hurts and broken promises. You can feel God's word is in this book and his healing hand also.

This book is refreshing, enjoyable, you can feel the pain and the healing!

Hat's off to you Vanessa. Let God continue to use you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story of second chances and God's grace!, March 11, 2010
By 
This review is from: Yesterday's Promise (Second Chance at Love) (Paperback)
I was really pleased with this book. This is a new author for me and she definitely has a wonderful talent of writing for God, and spreading His message. Vanessa Miller really captured my heart with the characters she turned out in this book. I immediately felt a pull to Melinda and her struggles, and as I read on, sweet Brianna came into the picture and I felt another immediate pull to her, too. The messages that Ms. Miller sends through this book, of relying on God, of letting go, forgiving the past,and second chances, is just truly amazing. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, but especially to those of you out there who need a gentle reminder that it's okay to forgive, and move on, and to even find a second chance at happiness and rely on God. A most definite 5 star book and author! Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vanessa Miller has done it again!!!!, March 29, 2010
This review is from: Yesterday's Promise (Second Chance at Love) (Paperback)
I'm a fan of Vanessa Miller's novels and when I heard she had a new book out, I had to read it. Being a PK (Pastor's Kid) I could relate a lot to Melinda Johnson in the book. I love reading books where I feel I'm actually a character in the book, and with this book I was. I highly recommend this book and all of Vanessa's books, because they are worth the money and your time!!! Can't wait to the sequel!!!!
