Genre: Inspirational/Women/Fiction

 
Michelle Stimpson's book Boaz Brown looks at the dating scene from a thirty-something African American woman's viewpoint, and the sight "ain't" pretty.

 

Meet LaShondra Smith, a vice principal, struggling to come to terms with life as a single woman looking for Mr. Right. LaShondra's been around the block before, but returned to her childhood values, and desires a Christian mate. When the Lord brings her a man fitting her needs, LaShondra must deal with prejudices from her family, friends, and more flagrantly, herself.

 

Not since the hit movie "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" has the racial dating issue been this well addressed. Stimpson's humor and voice carry through loud and clear. Her strong opinions state what others only hint at: there's prejudice in the church pews. Read Boaz Brown, and examine your own viewpoints in light of God's word. I highly recommend this fun romance story with a deep, timely message.
