5.0 out of 5 starsTia McCollors' STEPPIN' INTO THE GOOD LIFE Shows That Being Saved Doesn't Always Make You Safe
By Cyrus Webb TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on February 14, 2011
Format: 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.

4.0 out of 5 starsAre You "STEPPIN' INTO THE GOOD LIFE" with the Lord, Jesus Christ?
By Deltareviewer VINE VOICE on February 12, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
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?

3.5 stars

This was a really good inspirational book. The title is certainly deceiving because Sheila did step into the good life, but it was a good spiritual life. I didn't read the first book, so I don't know the whole story behind Ace and Sheila, but didn't feel lost reading this book, so I don't think the first book is a prerequisite. Sheila did start off like a stalker sneaking into Ace's wedding, but it's the point that she felt the calling, I will say that Sheila had a lot of luck on her side. For someone that was unemployed she always had someone helping her out which a times didn't seem realistic. Eden was a really great character. She is the mother everyone wants, and a good mother figure for Sheila. I wouldn't mind reading a follow up about Sheila ad Tim to see how their relationship progresses. Overall a good read, and I'd recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars"Feelings - nothing more than feelings"
By Jacasni on August 30, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Poor shallow, man crazy, confused Sheila. Talk about someone who operated on whatever feelings
she was having at the moment!

I felt a bit "used" after I finished the book - but since it was free, the only thing I lost was my time.
(Come to think of it - time is a terrible thing to lose.)

3.0 out of 5 starsMcCollors Writes Well
By K. L. Burchett VINE VOICE on October 4, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Sheila Rushmore is a thirty-four year old woman with expensive taste, but very little money. She has no job, no home and she thought she had a good man, but she is single once again. What will it take for her to finally step into the good life?

It's been a good while since I've read The Last Woman Standing by Tia McCollors, but I will never forget how much I enjoyed the story. I thought I'd like this book just as much because it is the sequel, but I didn't find it as entertaining. I'm sorry I feel that way, I didn't expect to - it's an okay read, the author writes well and I love how she includes words of wisdom, giving the reader something to think about whether it has to do with God or not, but the story didn't grab me the way the first book did. And, yes, I do know why that is - The Last Woman Standing made me laugh... a lot.

It wasn't that I disliked Sheila, but she wasn't an interesting character; she was kind of annoying, actually. She cared a whole lot about clothes, and not just what she was wearing but she always took notice to other people's outfits and shoes. She idolized her car and loved the smell of money. She wanted what she wanted even if she had to use somebody else to get it. This woman was way too materialistic. However, as a Babe in Christ, she was a very believable character, and McCollors does an excellent job showing Sheila's spiritual growth in a realistic way - getting her life right with God was challenging; she fell short and one time she took God's grace for granted as Christians (new or seasoned) tend to do.

Eden Gates was an interesting character and an example of a true Christian.Read more ›
