REVIEW:
Parke K. and
Cheney Jamieson VI shares a love beyond reality and belief as they continue
their journey serving God and believing they can sire the next generation of
Paki and Elaine Jamieson. However, Cheney’s botched abortion in college hinders
that possibility, thus leaving Cheney to seek comfort and love in the arms of
Parke and their adopted daughter Kami.
Prayer reigns and rules in the household of Parke K. Jamieson VI, yet the seed
of doubt quietly slips into their hearts as the promises of God are not
manifesting fast enough. Test after test, Parke’s and Cheney’s faith weakens and
momentarily stumbles as they pray, impatiently waiting for their miracles.
As if the stress of doubt is not straining Parke and Cheney’s marriage to a
breaking point, the attempted murder and hit and run trials of Cheney’s
surrogate grandmother Mrs. Beacon (Grandma BB) and her father, Roland Reynolds
gets underway. Fearing the survival of her marriage and adding to her burdens
and loneliness, Cheney secretly copes with the momentary inattentiveness of
Parke who is seeking proof and custody of a son he never knew existed.
Pat Simmons very poignantly continues her Guilty Series with a dynamic, heart
wrenching drama filled with love, laughter, tears and intimacy. Using strong
characters to quote Bible scriptures while going through real life trials
captures an array of emotions making this a believable storyline. The chemistry
between the Jamieson men and their women epitomizes the very essence of the love
God ordains for marriage and relationships. With a very diverse supporting cast
of characters like The Red Hat Society, Kami the cute little diva, Rainey,
Cheney’s twin who’s battling his own demons concerning forgiveness, and two
confused lifelong friends one of which believes she’s black when she is really
white adds excitement and laughter to an emotional storyline that flows
superbly. Ms. Simmons creatively reveals how God’s Word can heal, restore, and
fulfill our every desire when we seek, believe and trust Him wholeheartedly no
matter how many trials and tribulations the devil brings our way!
STILL GUILTY
is the third book in the Guilty Series that deals with love, forgiveness and
salvation. God’s Word says “to forgive those who have trespassed against us so
that He can forgive us of our trespasses.” Yet the question remains…without God,
can man really forgive? This book was a wonderful read, which I highly recommend
as well as the previous books in the series;
GUILTY OF LOVE
and
Not Guilty of Love, for they
will purely melt your heart.
