Overwhelming Good Feeling
I don't want to tell the story because I want everyone to go out and get the book and read it for themselves. However, while reading, you will definitely get the feeling of how powerful prayer really is.
The thing I love most about Vanessa's books is the details that she gives about the angels. Every time I read about one of the angels and how they are fighting our battles for us, a big smile ...

He's done it again!
I just finished L.M. Ross' latest gift to the world. Once again, Mr. Ross has given us a profound gift and another taste of his genius. I LOVED The Moanin' After. Far too often these days, African-American authors of "gay" material or otherwise, tend to write for (what seems to be) readers with a 7th grade education, at best. Not this writer! He really takes you on an emotional journey, in which ...

Pat Tucker goes for A WILD RIDE... with DRUG RELATED
I enjoyed Drug Related, it makes me want to go back and read other books by Roy Glenn.
Nick Simmons tells the story of his arrest with his attorney Wanda after he's released from jail-the story is told in a dated journal format, which I liked.
The format did require me to pay attention to the story which wasn't a task because I read the book in two days (only b/c I had to work it took so ...

A Reality Check
I had the pleasure of hearing Jihad read from his book "Street Life" at a book club gathering in Oakland, CA. The reading was so enthralling that I had to purchase his book. I was not disappointed. I finished it in a weekend. As I read it, it reminded me of Sistah Souljah's "Coldest Winter Ever." Most definitely, elements of street life are glamorized in our society. But, Jihad keeps it ...

Gone But Never Forgotten
Loved it! Dwayne Joseph does it yet AGAIN. I'm a fan for life. This book read with such intensity, great characterization and movement. While part of me thought Danita overreacted to what she found but another part of me thought she had every right to feel the way she did, and she had every right to leave Stephen, so what happened?? Our worst enemy can be carrying the pain inflicted by a ...

Amazing
Wow! Where do I start? Well I was at a point in my life where I thought that nothing would ever go right. I only bought the books because I love to read and I currently didn't have any new books. When I first opened the books and found out they were about GOD I wanted to not read them at all. Being that I hate to waste money I gave them a shot. By the end of the first book I couldn't wait ...

And as you reach the last word you want more because it is so great. Thomas Green is a wonderful storyteller and has a interesting way of pulling you in to the story to the point you really don't want it to end. Thomas Green ...
