Saved Folk in the House is a great book, as are Sonnie Beverly's other books. The characters in this book are very well developed and you will easily become attached to them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read Sonnie's next one!

Pretty good so far. Not done yet. It does seem too "sweet"...like everything works out so correct.

I have picked up this book four times in an attempt to "give it another chance." I still haven't finished it! I wanted to like it so much. I love Christian fiction, I read it regularly. This however, was amateur at best. There was little to no character development. The story line is rushed an underdeveloped. It was like on one side of the page she was in high school, on the next; in college, on the next; graduating, on the next; getting married. I'm exaggerating a little, but there was little effort to develop the story lines in between, that it really feels that way. If the main character was experiencing something difficult, we barefly "felt it." There were just surface words that alluded to a tough time. This story lacked the agony, the emotion, the writing talent, the energy and excitement of a good book. And...I haven't even started in on the gospel yet. Don't buy it!
