A "New York Times"-bestselling author takes readers behind the pulpit, where it's time for some hard-earned lessons in love, brotherhood, and betrayal.
New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber takes readers back to church, where preaching isn't always enough, nothing goes better with the Word than a song-and it's time for some hard-earned lessons in love, brotherhood, and betrayal.Bishop T.K. Wilson has done all he can to make First Jamaica Ministries a success. But with his last choir director getting caught in a scandal, attendance and cash flow are down. To fill the pews and collection plates, Bishop is counting on a new choir director, the charismatic Aaron Mackie, to revive the church. Aaron has been waiting his entire life to prove he has what it takes to be a big-time choir director. But his ways around women, past and present, could cost him more than his job. Simone Wilcox is smart, sexy-and a highly respected church trustee. She's got her eye on the new choir director, with the intention of having a lot more on him, and no one is getting in her way. First Lady Monique Wilson does and says what she wants, regardless of church politics. Despite her shortcomings and a past rumored to include a long list of men, she'll do just about anything to protect the Bishop.

Someone whose connection to the Bishop is far too close for comfort. . . .Praise For The Church SeriesUp To No Good"This page-turning drama keeps readers in suspense until the very last page." -Upscale MagazineThe First Lady"Weber gives us a front-row pew seat to all the action going down..." -Essence(R)So You Call Yourself A Man"A delightful and entertaining book." -Black Issues Book ReviewThe Preacher's Son"Weber spins a lively, revelation-packed tale deepened by genuine emotion, convincing detail and smart dialogue." -Publishers Weekly Prologue It was Father's Day at First Jamaica Ministries, the largest church in Queens, New York, and the pews were filled to capacity with those honoring the men in their lives.
