Darrin Bainbridge wants to launch his journalism career
with a splash. To do so, he needs a big story, one he
thinks he's found when he learns of Bishop Kuman Prentiss
and his Atlanta megachurch. With all those members—and
all that money flowing through the pews—surely there's a
scandal waiting to be uncorked.
But, even after getting his father to agree to finance
this last venture and moving to Georgia, Darrin doesn't
count on a few things, including encountering the Holy
Spirit when he least expects it or the bishop's daughter,
Emoni. Darrin's torn between sticking to his planned
expose—something he needs to do to keep his father's
coffers open until he can fill his own—and developing a
lasting relationship with Emoni. What's a Mad Black
Blogger to do?
Tiffany Warren hs put a fresh and illuminating spin on
Christian fiction set in the African-American church. THE
BISHOP'S DAUGHTER offers a realistic look at what
salvation truly is and some of the challenges young adults
face in learning to live saved. Telling the story from a
male perspective added a dimension not explored enough in
this genre. Throwing in the protagonist's hilarious blog
posts made this story a hoot. I laughed and kept reading
way into the wee hours of the night, unwilling or unable
to separate myself from Darrin's antics until the story
ended. I've already emailed the author to put in my
personal plea for a sequel.
Darrin Bainbridge is your typical playboy in need of love,
but not yet ready. He is a freelance journalist trying to
break his big story. After a visit from his mother, Darrin
gets an idea. He has heard all kinds of stories about
"Hollywood" ministers who hold their church services on
television, live in nice houses, drive nice cars, and have
lots of money and women. Darrin is disgusted by it all
especially when his mother Priscilla starts shouting praises
for Atlanta Bishop Kumal Prentiss. Darrin decides to go to
Atlanta, become a member of the bishop's church, and expose
him for the hustling fraud that he believes he is. He just
never planned on falling in love with the Bishop's daughter.
Darrin suddenly finds himself torn between
his new found friend and his possible big break.
