AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: Vanessa Davis Griggs, author of Practicing What You Preach (Available Tuesday, May 26, 2009)
Vanessa Davis Griggs is
an author and motivational speaker who adores the power of words both
written and spoken. At the end of 1996, this former BellSouth employee
left 18 years of service, stepped out on faith and decided to pursue
her purpose and passion--writing. Proving Proverbs 18:16, A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men,
she began her own company (Free To Soar) emphasizing the taking off of
limits as she travels around the country inspiring others--young and
old--to take flight and do the same.
Vanessa resides in Irondale (home of the Whistle Stop Café and Fried
Green Tomatoes), a community just outside of Birmingham, Alabama.
Vanessa is the author of novels: Destiny Unlimited, The Rose of Jericho, Promises Beyond Jordan published by BET Books/New Spirit (now Kimani Press), Wings of Grace (also published under New Spirit), Blessed Trinity, Strongholds, and If Memory Serves published by Kensington Books/Dafina.
The wedding between Angela Gabriel and Brent Underwood promises to be the Birmingham event of the year--and aspiring event planner Melissa Anderson has been working feverishly to make it happen. During this hectic time, she even agrees to go out on a date with a most unlikely prospect: Marcus Peeples.
When it came to Marcus, it definitely wasn't love at first sight. But after a lovely evening together of Bible study at Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, Melissa has a change of heart. She learns not only is Marcus a successful investor, but he's also a gifted minister. There's just one hitch: He's divorced--a fact Melissa can't reconcile with scripture even though she knows he's a good man and father. But when Marcus's diva ex-wife decides she wants him back, Melissa soon discovers love, divorce, and faith have quite a bit in common...
