Playin' Church

by Jane Jordan, Kathleen Jackson (Editor), Alicia Taylor (Illustrator)

Overview

Imagine a church full of gossipers, liars and cliques gathering together in a place of worship every Sunday morning, where pulpit passion and lust go hand in hand. Chaos erupts at New Life M.B. Church when Reverend Booker T. Johnson and Sister Ida Mae Jenkins skipped town, leaving the church in a mess. Deacon Leroy decided to call his younger brother Terrence in to lead the unruly congregation until his father returned. Pastor Terrence is an ordained minister who felt obligated to help save the church so he reluctantly accepts his brother's invitation. Pastor Terrence is up against twenty-five years of lies, secrets and deception in a church full of hell raisers. Hold on to your seats as Playin' Church takes you on a journey of uncharted territory behind the doors of New Life Missionary Baptist Church.

Editorial Reviews

Whoever says what happens in the dark WON'T come to the light need to read the debut novel of Jane Jordan PLAYIN' CHURCH. She hits this one out of the park with her realistic portrayal of what church life is like for many, filled with the sincere and the sinful, the honest and the hypocritical. The reader will laugh as well as cry as they read about loyal church members who find out they had the "holy goose" and not the "Holy Ghost", while others have their hopes dashed by a deacon with a crack

My Book Club (Ladies Of Literature) read this book and it was one of the best we have read this year so far. Once I picked up the book, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Sister Jordan had us all looking at our own Church family wondering who fits into the characters and makes you take a look at yourself as well. A big "Amen" to you Sister Jordan for an excellent job done on your first book and I will be looking forward to what you have in stored for us next.
