Summary: Weak Story
Review: Oh people, I got to tell you the truth. This story is so slow and the author repeats the same things over and over again. Another thing is that black people do not talk like the characters the author is portraying. This is a good book title, but it needs another storyline with stronger black characters that don't pretend to sound white. Sad to say, I could not finish this book because it was going in circles. I skimmed through it and of course, predictability was inevitable. The main character, Jake, really was not what one would call a "prodigal husband." Thomas should have made his character more like the prodigal son of the Holy Bible. Jake didn't do enough dirt to be considered a prodigal husband.I'd like to see Terri MacMillan or Sister Souljah rewrite this story using the same title, or perhaps a strong contemporary christian fiction writer could rewrite it. I love christian fiction, but I wasn't feeling this story at all.

Summary: Superb Christian Fiction!
Review: Okay, it's been a while since I posted a remark about a book. However, for this beautifully written tale I just had to take a moment to express how I was totally pulled into the story from the first page. I have not read a more explosive first page since I read "Sugar" by Bernice L.McFadden. Remember the line, "Jude is dead". When I picked the book up I had all intentions of reading a few chapters a night. However, I just couldn't put it down. So I read it in one sitting. I haven't done that in a long time. Jake and Tori had a lot to overcome and what excited me is the fact that "real love never fails" as quoted in the following scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends;..." Take a bow Ms. Thomas, in this case it's all right to toot your own horn. BEEP! BEEP! I give "The Prodigal Husband" by Jacquelin Thomas "two thumbs up, a flute of sparkling apple cider, and a bowl of strawberries with whip cream."

Summary: The Plot Thickens...
Review: The Prodigal Husband is a must read. The Author combines romance and christian beliefs to create one well written book. I might add that the television advertisement was a great move. The title of the book is perfect. Jake is the Prodigal Husband who strays from his wife Tori. Sheila is the conniving business partner who succeeds in tempting Jake to commit adultery. I was in shock at how devious Sheila was and how no act was beneath her...if it would break up Jake's marriage. A tradgedy of the worst kind also weighs heavily on Jake and Tori's marriage survival. The plot thickens to enhance this well crafted novel with a long kept secret as to why Aunt Kate does not care for the Madison men; Nicholas...the handsome writer who carries a torch for Tori and Charlene's strained relationship with Jake's brother.

Summary: The Prodigal Husband
Review: This book came at an appointed time in my life. I was able to relate to the characters and the situations as if it were myself, because it was/is me. My marriage has seen the many sorrows that both Jake and Tori's saw. Ms. Thomas brought me into this book, to see the promises that God gives to those who seek him.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This was an awesome book. This book dealt with realistic issues that occur within a marriage yet it showed the power to overcome obstacles if you put Christ first. This is a well recommended book for anyone who loves Christian fiction.

Summary: Will love survive?
Review: Tori Madison is falling apart. She experiences a major tragedy and to make matters worse, she discovers that her husband Jake has broken their marriage vows. Jake has slept with Sheila, his business partner and a woman Tori considered to be her friend. Tori is heartbroken over Jake's indiscretion, but she is not willing to give up her marriage. She is very dependent on her husband and the prospect of living without him frightens her. Despite some major obstacles, Tori is determined to do whatever she has to do for her husband's love. Sheila is determined to keep Jake for herself and she does not care who or what gets in her way. She feels that she and Jake were meant to be and that Tori is nothing but an inconvience. The Prodigal Husband by Jacquelin Thomas is an emotional and spiritual story that has you rooting for some of the characters in the story. The spirituality shown in Tori's character draws you in and keeps the pages of the book turning. There are however some situations in the book that I considered unrealistic, but overall I liked the flow of the story and the story itself. Reviewed by Simone A. Hawks

Summary: It's Good
Review: Within the first five pages this book will grab your attention. It has it's moments where it drags towards the middle of the book (hence the 4 stars) but overall it's a good buy. You'll enjoy it.
