Can anyone believe a church with intensified conflicts on a Sunday? Can one picture a church in unbelievable disarray? Church Folk's story line begins with officials having great difficulty explaining a situation to the congregation. Moreover, when the parishioners hear Deacon Smith's explanation, it greatly disturbs the membership. Officials really said, "We abandoned democracy for dictatorship!" Meanwhile, calmness walks out! Peace fails to be still! Chaos creeps right into the sacred church sanctuary as the group reacts to the officials' hypocrisy. Church Folk, a timely, informative novel, written to capture avid readers, addresses self-greed, power struggles, and confusion, but it also highlights the good and value of a sound church organization. Themes depicted in this creation enwrap conflicts with the spiritual ministries: choir, Sunday school, deacon, usher and trustee boards. These conflicts, real to many congregations, make the novel come alive. After reading this novel, shut eyes will open wide and a whole new religious awareness will emerge. Although the setting takes place primarily in a Christian Living Baptist Church, the conflicts highlight nondenominational strife. Whether good verses evil, morality verses immorality or politics verses religion, the author handled these issues with undeniable uniqueness. No other religious tell-all novel has equaled this piece of literature in style, depth and creativity. The novel opens with a prologue making a philosophical statement about the original purpose of the Christian Living Baptist Church. It then focuses on Church of Heaven Christian Living Baptist, in a spirit filled service, and later an impromptu church meeting. A flashback to the beginning of the church unfolds revealing this congregation splitting from Grand Bulah Christian Living Baptist Church. It shows how Church of Heaven began and founded a productive organization. Meanwhile, chapter eleven returns to present church scenes, exhibiting the still confused congregation trying to carry on. It spotlights a group representing 55% of the membership filing a court injunction, not against the church, but against some individual officials. One chapter shows how the defendants and plaintiffs handled the initial phase of the injunction and court appearances. However, when characters speak of scenes from the court sessions and the court supervised church meeting, it will make one's adrenaline flow! Finally, the book concludes with an epilogue, but the unexpected twist astonishes and electrifies any reader. Church Folk, is a controversial, inspirational, but educational novel, filled with spiritual and religious episodes. Church Folk Walker, J. Moffett, Authorhouse<
