Sister Honey Adapted from a novel written by Sylvia Brown-Roberts
Nikolis McQuaige (NikkiMac) is forty years old, single, female, and a Christian. Like many of us, she has a colorful history, but, she knows that her sins were forgiven when she came to Christ ten years ago. Although she's determined to live a faithful Christian life, Nikolis experiences a tug-of-war between the flesh and the spirit. Sometimes, she doesn't measure up to what God expects of her, but, she gets right back up when she falls. Over time, she may realize that faithful Christian living is not achieved by willpower alone, but by a dependence upon God.
Along the way, you'll meet some of the warm, spirited, and often humorous members of the church where she worships. Its urban neighborhood provides soulsaving challenges to the church, but, the faithful members must press on.
Will Nikolis stay out of her own way and let God direct her steps? Her account of what goes on Behind Church Doors is an intriguing look at how imperfect people travel the pathway to a perfect God. Join the journey!
