Pastor George Landris inspires yet another couple as they go deeper in the Word of God while learning to deal with their individual past pains, betrayals, and hurts.

The wedding between Angela Gabriel and Brent Underwood promises to be the Birmingham event of the year—and aspiring event planner Melissa Anderson has been working feverishly to make it happen. During this hectic time, she even agrees to go out on a date with a most unlikely prospect: Marcus Peeples. It’s not love at first sight, but after an enjoyable evening together of Bible study at Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, Melissa has a change of heart. She learns that not only is Marcus a successful investor, he’s also a gifted minister. There’s just one hitch: He’s divorced—a fact Melissa can’t reconcile with scripture. But when Marcus’s diva ex-wife decides she wants him back, Melissa soon discovers love, divorce, and faith have quite a bit in common...

“Vanessa is a superb storyteller...her Christian-based stories will inspire you.”

From Booklist:

Marcus Peeples seems like the perfect man for aspiring wedding planner Melissa Anderson. Marcus, a tall, handsome pharmaceutical salesperson, finally talks her into a date. Much to Melissa’s surprise, he doesn’t balk when she insists their first date will be at her Bible study class at Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center. As time goes by, Melissa feels more and more drawn to Marcus. However, he’s divorced, and her beliefs won’t allow her to continue their relationship. Griggs has written a novel about African Americans trying their best to follow a faith-based life. Each of the 47 short chapters begins with a Bible verse, and questions for book-discussion groups are included. This is a romance for readers who like their books enhanced with religious teachings, and it will surely appeal to fans of Felicia Mason and Stacy Hawkins Adams. --Shelley Mosley
