When Christian talk show host Serenity Williams’ fiancé calls off their wedding because he can’t deal with her popularity, she determines that she will never fall in love with another pride-filled, ego-driven pastor. Then, Serenity’s producer asks her to interview the charismatic Pastor Phillip McKnight, who has recently gone through a divorce. Serenity feels that this is her chance to expose the arrogance of ego-filled pastors to the world. But Pastor Phillip is broken and humbled from his experiences, and the surprising humility of this man causes Serenity to want to un-break his heart. However, Serenity will need the Lord to fix her heart and change her mind about male preachers before she and Phillip can become all they were meant to be to each other.

The Book Review will be available by Friday.  I have 50 more pages to complete and I want to complete it before the review is done.  I must say that I have anticipated this book because I enjoyed reading the first book in the series, Yesterday’s Promise.  I couldn’t wait until this book was released and I am thoroughly enjoying the writing style of Vanessa Miller.

You will find that Serenity has a hard time love and trust after being hurt so deeply by a preacher who she loved so deeply.  Her fiance couldn’t handle the magnitude of Serenity’s ministry so he walked out of her life.  Vanessa Miller shows the real inside scoop of what goes on between Pastors and their wives (fiance).   Serenity then closes her heart and vows to never fall in love with a preacher until Phillip McKnight walks into her life.  A pastor who has been broken and who understands now the importance of walking in humility and loving a wife the way Christ loves the church.  The connection is made, but the two of them face obstacles, disagreements and outside forces to keep them apart.  All the while God is working on the two of them.  An excellent read that is filled with love and quite a few drama twists.

Serenity learns a valuable lesson of  forgiveness and quickly recognizes that holding old grudges will eventually build a wall of isolation around you from others.  This isolation wall was on the way of costing her a love experience.

After an encounter with a former fan of her talk show, she learns that ministry truly involves interacting with God’s people.  A stand-off approach to protect from being hurt again can not only hurt you, but it can be offensive to others.  Serenity learns this the hard way, but it truly opened her eyes.

Kudos to Vanessa Miller for another job well done in writing a story to share with those women in ministry.  I am looking forward to the third book.  BUY BOTH BOOKS IN THE SERIES TODAY!
