Sin No More (The Reverend Curtis Black Novels #5)
Par Kimberla Lawson Roby. 2008
“Flawed Reverend Curtis Black returns” with more scandal in this novel by a New York Times–bestselling author who has “small-town…
church politics down” (Publishers Weekly).A man who once thrived on wickedness and counted on forgiveness, Curtis Black has changed his ways. Back in the heart of his congregation and his family, he will no longer stray from the beaten path. Or so he’s promised his long-suffering wife, Charlotte.But the sins of the past have strange ways of coming to light. First, Curtis’s former mistress shows up with their newborn baby daughter—named Curtina—and insists that Curtis be a part of their lives. Charlotte has forbidden her husband to have anything to do with them, but the trouble is, Curtis’s newfound conscience is leading him to have uncomfortable thoughts of responsibility.Also, the interim pastor who took over while Curtis was on a book tour is threatening blackmail. He’s gotten too used to life at the pulpit and will do everything in his power to stay there.Meanwhile, Charlotte has her own previous transgressions to deal with. The man who claims to be her son’s biological father has turned up and wants to make amends for the past thirteen years. If Charlotte gives in to his increasing requests, she may lose the only child she has left.However, Curtis and Charlotte have been through too much together to give up now. They must work harder than ever—as a mother and a father, as husband and wife—to save their family, their marriage, and their souls.Signs and Wonders (The Harmony Novels)
Par Philip Gulley. 2003
“In a league with Jan Karon’s Mitford series . . . readers who seek pleasant, witty and occasionally poignant fiction will delight in…
this book.” —Publishers WeeklyIt’s another bustling year in the lives of this quirky Quaker community. Dale Hinshaw is back and floating another of his crackpot ministry schemes—this time, quite literally, with his Salvation Balloons project. Pastor Sam Gardner’s wife, Barbara, the 1977 Tenderloin Queen, wins a trip to the Caribbean and thinks she might just go without her workaholic husband. Deena Morrison struggles with being single and alone, while the Friendly Women’s Circle strategizes on how they can “help” her. Jimmy Muldock has a secret only his mother knows, though the ever-curious Furnace Committee is bent on discovering it.Throughout it all, three things are certain: the Friendly Women’s Circle will make more noodles, Dale Hinshaw will push Sam Gardner to the end of his pastoral rope, and the good in human nature will just nudge out the bad.Filled with master storyteller Philip Gulley’s trademark humor and depth of insight, this wise, joyous novel will delight and satisfy both those who know and love Harmony and those who are just discovering it.“Welcome back to a place where the stories are rich and the folks are familiar. Welcome back to the signs and wonders uncovered in small-town life. Welcome back to Gulley’s great writing. Welcome back to Harmony!” —Lynne Hinton, national bestselling author of Pie Town“Evokes a convincing sense that there is at least a spark of goodness in almost everyone . . . [a] wise and gentle book.” —Arkansas Democrat Gazette“A celebration of small-town life.” —Woman’s DayThe Invasion (The call Ser. #2)

She’s not sure she needs to add any of her own.When she meets the charismatic Menem at a work retreat, Samira finds herself intrigued.
