Peter Bishop has watched the preachers on tv every Sunday with his mom since he was young, he always took much pride in learning about God, once he graduates high school, he knows he wants to spread the word of God, but he doesn't want to be poor either. He becomes a Great Minister that can reach people with his preachings. But he comes to the point that he must choose to either keep his faith in God and God in his heart or take the path to denomination.

This book is not what I thought it would be, it will definitely leave you with a different outlook. It's fresh and exhilarating , I think anyone who reads it will enjoy it. I hope Pat Sipperly continues to write about Peter Bishop.

This true story of Desma Douglas' life story is heartbreaking , when she was only twelve , her father got custody of her and thats when the beatings and rapes began , and became a prisoner in her own home. This man was a cruel , evil human being. The abuse and rapes was enough for Desma to endure , then she became preagnant by her father , not once but three times , but she miscarried with one. After years of being hurt to no end and having no one to trust or help , she finally made the call to the police that gave her and her two sons their freedom. This is a horrific story. I dont understand what can drive a person to hurt their own child the way her father did. Honestly , he doesn't deserve the title Father.
I am very proud that Desma took that step and that she is now doing well with her wonderful sons.
