3 stars as an average, so I liked it

Beginning off, this is Christian humor, and, similar (simply quite different to) Tim Hawkins, some of this stuff seems "off the wall" at first, but it's well done--however, for me I think this would be funnier to encounter live. Also, I am not big on short stories, and there were a couple of disconcerting moments when a character or 2 would have lost all of their growth from a previous short story.

For me, this ranged from funny to boring, which is common for me with fun

3 stars equally an average, and so I liked it

Offset off, this is Christian humour, and, like (but quite different to) Tim Hawkins, some of this stuff seems "off the wall" at outset, but it's well done--however, for me I recollect this would exist funnier to meet live. Also, I am not big on short stories, and there were a couple of disconcerting moments when a character or two would accept lost all of their growth from a previous curt story.

For me, this ranged from funny to boring, which is common for me with funny books that have essays or short stories because they are rarely all funny for me. The puns are witty, merely some waxed a bit old, Still, coming from a punny family, and even knowing that maybe others have thought of these, I haven't Mother Pray Onn and her girl Carrie Onn, for instance (and yep, Carrie Onn most certainly carries on).

But my favourite parts of this are the way that G'Orge-Walker ties in lessons or things with scriptures at the stop of each story. God gave people senses of humour (well, most people, I think) and there is nothing wrong with having one or using it. And in a blatant promo for her next book, she brings herself up, and I thought what she wrote back in 2003 as timely today as information technology has always been, and Sister Betty says of G'Orge Walker She says she takes notes and then she can show people how to really praise God in the spirit and not worry about peel color or denomination. She says if we tin't dearest one some other, so nosotros're not following God's program for His people.

Pat G'Orge-Walker keeps yous laughing out loud with her gospel comedy "Sister Betty! God's Calling You, Again!" With characters like Deacon Laid Handz, Brother Tis Mythang and the Hellraiser family, it's a phenomenon that Sister Betty tin save these so-chosen church folks.

The story takes place in Pelzer, South Carolina and explores the lives and antics of the church members of Ain't Nobody Else Right But United states--All Others Goin' to Hell Church, as they battle fear, temptation, lust, greed, jealousy and anger. How these church members handle their dilemma is hilarious equally they observe themselves in one mishap after another. And it's upwardly to Sister Betty and her divine inspirations to save these characters from themselves and each other.

Pat G'Orge-Walker has written a collection of short stories which whatever person who attends church building, specially an African American church, is sure to relate too.

This book had me laughing out loud. I usually read while I'grand riding the double-decker to and from work and I'm so sure the other passengers thought I was basics. I read this book at a time when I had merely joined a new church building and was feeling a fleck like a fallen baby bird with broken wings. Information technology reminded me that "church building folks" are but folks...like everybody else. I became a fan instantly. This volume had me laughing out loud. I unremarkably read while I'thou riding the autobus to and from piece of work and I'chiliad and so certain the other passengers thought I was nuts.

I've tried reading this book before, but couldn't really get into it. Yet I sat in at a reading where someone read one of the stories from this book, and she did really really well. (view spoiler)[ like seriously I would have loved it if she'd been the one to characterize the story (hibernate spoiler)] and really wanted to try again. This fourth dimension I went with listening to this via an audio book. And it made me laugh out loud a couple of times. So I'grand thinking near trying out the other books in this serie I've tried reading this book before, only couldn't really get into it.

(view spoiler)[ like seriously I would accept loved it if she'd been the one to narrate the story (hide spoiler)] and really wanted to effort again. This time I went with listening to this via an audio book. And information technology made me express mirth out loud a couple of times. So I'm thinking nearly trying out the other books in this series.
Recommended? Sure, if you have a sense of humor. Information technology's a christian parody if you go offended easily I don't recommend you read it though.

I picked this upward because it had an interesting cover and bought it because it was (supposedly) centered around my home town - Pelzer, SC. However, it went from bad to worse with a agglomeration of hypocritical, vain and greedy people who wanted all for "me" and none for anyone else.

Perhaps it was supposed to be a ways of showing the churchgoers they need to exist more attuned to the right than the glory and greed, simply after the offset story I didn't feel that. The final story had two proficient points - it ended with

I picked this up considering information technology had an interesting embrace and bought information technology because it was (supposedly) centered effectually my home boondocks - Pelzer, SC. However, it went from bad to worse with a agglomeration of hypocritical, vain and greedy people who wanted all for "me" and none for anyone else.

Perchance information technology was supposed to be a means of showing the churchgoers they need to be more attuned to the right than the glory and greed, but afterwards the showtime story I didn't feel that. The last story had 2 good points - it ended with a Bible quote, and it concluded.

Will be dropping it in a recycle bin.

The church was like no church I always heard about & merely i of the people in the book seemed God-like & that, of form, was Sister Betty.
