From beloved bestselling author Jacquelin Thomas comes a
powerful novel of inspiration, temptation, and redemption,
as a determined woman is torn between pleasing the father
who raised her — and obeying the call of the Father who
created her...
Ever since she was a little girl, Journee Carter wanted to
be a preacher, just like her father. She loved listening
to his sermons and seeing how his fiery words filled the
members of the congregation with joy. Journee knew there
was opposition to women in the pulpit — especially single
young women. Yet she never expected her very own father to
be one of her biggest obstacles. But he wouldn't be her
only challenge.
Kingston Lavery is charming, handsome, and a member of New
Faith Baptist Church — which, to Journee's excitement, has
offered her a permanent position. Kingston is pleased to
see Journee there as well. He is drawn to her — and not
just for spiritual counsel. Although Kingston is engaged,
he decides to pursue the pretty pastor anyway — with a
good deal of encouragement from a most unlikely source.
Soon, Journee finds herself trapped in a web of deception
worthy of the devil himself, putting her reputation and
her career at risk. Or is all this mess simply a test of
her faith? She's sure of only one thing: she will not hear
the answer by turning a deaf ear to the call on her
heart...
