Editorial Reviews

"Powerful! Soul searching! Spiritually provoking! Angela Benson has again produced a powerful rendition of love, forgiveness, God's grace and mercy in Amen Sisters! It is through the words penned, that Mrs. Benson takes the sensitive issues that are often found within the body of Christ and creates a story so powerful that the reader must examine themselves and their position with God." Rating: 4+

Romance in Color

"The Amen Sisters is a remarkable novel by Angela Benson. Benson masterfully tackles an often taboo subject: Pastors preying upon women parishioners. This novel not only shows what happens when these women try to come forward with their stories, but also shows the lack of support the church gives these women."

Urban Reviews

"The Amen Sisters tells the story of sexual sin and the far-reaching consequences of that sin...Ms. Benson aptly captures both the passion and pain that folks bottle up in their lives, and the importance of dealing with situations as they arise. Kudos to Ms. Benson for dealing with one of the last remaining taboo topics in today's church in such a straightforward and compassionate manner." Rating: 5/5
