Summary: When God Calls, Sister Betty Listens
Review: Sister Betty has always considered herself a woman of God, so she is not shocked to receive a phone call from God himself. What is even more shocking is how she behaves after the call. Once a self-centered woman, she becomes more caring, and more cognizant of others feelings. She also has some revelations that forever change her life and the lives of those that attend the Ain't-Nobody-Else-But-Us-All-Others-Going-To-Hell-Church.In author Pat G'orge-Walker's new book, SISTER BETTY! GOD'S CALLING YOU, AGAIN! she offers a series of vignettes reflecting Sister Betty's efforts to keep everyone in the church on their proper path with God. All of the stories are tied together and offer up a cast of colorful and outrageous characters. My favorite character throughout the book is Ma Cile, she is the grandmother of two mischievous 10 year olds who are constantly testing her nerves and patience. This was something I could relate to, because when I was their age it was my goal to drive adults crazy. SISTER BETTY! GOD'S CALLING YOU, AGAIN! had me laughing from cover to cover. The author has found a way to marry humor and life's lessons, and the product is hilarious and informative. This is the first time I have read Pat G'orge-Walker's work but it will not be the last. I highly recommend that readers pick up this book and share it with their families. Reviewed by Simone A. Hawks

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book has all the scoop of so many churches these days. Her messages are very clear. Most are NOT focused on God, rather each other and gossip, greed and the list goes on and on. Thanks Mrs. Walker for the laughs and truthes.

Summary: What?!?
Review: This book is kind of hard to review for me. This book is a 3 at the most anything above that is far reaching for me. At the end I did actually did laugh out loud, some parts did tickle me. Then she got a little too preachy and she mentioned herself in the book-something I hate for an author to do, (yes it is my own personal pet peeve). The stories in this book are not that great and the way she named the character and the church was very tedious after a while but I didn't hate this book. I didn't buy it either-1st book I ever got from the library because I usually just buy them but hey I was there so why not. Now if I would have paid for this book I would have been very upset. Why? There are several reason, 1. The name thing does get very irritating after awhile. 2. The characters/situation where so unbelievable that even if you went to church you wouldn't be able to relate them to anything you have every seen, an all out brawl inside the church? How is that possible? Am I that naïve? 3.The testimony becoming an all out gossip fest. No matter how money hungry your preacher was he would still try to have some decorum in his church-I would hope. Something where hard for me to believe why and that is why I could not give this 4 or 5 star. That said I finish this book last night and the funny parts where very funny. If you read the book you will have to admit that the image of that old lady dropping the deacon was funny. So I am glad I did NOT BUY this book but I am glad I read it......

Summary: Novel, Amazing
Review: What an amazing, ingenius and wonderfully enlightening read. It's wonderful to see comedy used in such a profound manner. If you are looking for rocket science this is not it. If you want to read about church folks, and maybe you, this is definitely it. This is not relegated to the Black church it's in most churches; I should know- I'm a white woman. Those who have a problem with its simplicity may see themselves :-)
Kudos to Ms. Walker. I also recommend Mother Eternal. It's a novel and superb. I will never take my Christian walk for granted.
