i really enjoyed reading this book. the book took me on a road to a new level of church view and the members. i had to open my eyes and ears and become a person seeing the story as though i didn't know anything about church. if i was not a person who went to church i would definitely would not be called. it also made me see pastors in a new light because they are human just like everyone but it made my belly ache to pray more daringly for the church. the writer captures a good image on character and status. the gate open to allow the reader to see inside the world of the rich black letting us know there is wealth in all types of family.
