Summary: A Christian novel that's speaks to the heart
Review: When I first began this book, I didn't really think I could finish it. But then as I took my time reading and really think about what the author was writing about, it really shook me. As the plot twisted and turned, my heart went with it and I couldn't put it down. Lisa Samson told it like it is, no sugarcoating for her. I was reading the last chapter on the subway and I was trying not to burst into tears. Pick up your copy today!! and take a few days off to read this book, read it slow, enjoy the writer's metaphors and description, you'll be tranported to Mount Oak.

Summary: A Testimony for Forgiveness...
Review: While reading *The Church Ladies* with my on-line Christian bookclub, I ran the gamut of virtual emotions. At some points, I felt saddened; others, inspired. When living vicariously through the lives of Poppy, Chris, Duncan, Mildred and Paisely, I realized how important forgiveness of the people around you really is. Lisa Samson gave me a gift and a life lesson; so much more than a couple of days of literary entertainment.Poppy Fraser is the embattled wife of Duncan, the Highland Park Church pastor. She divides her time between her family of three, her bestfriend Chris and her artwork. Although Poppy's marriage to Duncan seems like a happy one, Poppy has often thought about leaving Duncan for good. Secrets lining her past prevent her from fully contributing to her marriage. A tragedy hitting close to the Fraser home opens Poppy's eyes to the lives in and around her community. She, with the assistance of Miss Mildred LaRue, develops a Monday night prayer group with the other pastors' wives in the community. The emotional support the women provide to each other becomes a turning point for Poppy's problems at home. I thought the book was a much needed reminder that to seek forgiveness from others, we must forgive ourselves first. Lisa Samson delivered home a lesson for all of us! I'll definitely be on the lookout for more from this wonderful author.
