Customer Reviews

I liked this book!

I listened to this book on cd and I enjoyed the narrator and hearing each women's stories! I liked how their lives all intertwined! Well written and the fact that a man can touch so well on how women are thinking and the things they are going through is great!

Wonderful novel

Michelle, Tonya and Mrs. Judson are so very different yet they are all searching for the same thing a resolution.Michelle is a young woman trying to find her way in life. On the outside it seems that she has it together but there is a battle going on within her. Too afraid to trust she truly believes that all she has in life is herself. But she has some people praying for her. Tonya is a praying woman. Like Job, everything she has ever had has been taken away.But her faith in God never waivers. Unfortunately her faith in herself is where her problem lies. She has to realize that when God sends us an answer, doesn't always come from where we expect it. Mrs. Judson is a woman who is in control. Whether it is on her job or in her home she has to be the one calling the shots. When something causes her to realize that her perfect life isn't really perfect she finds out who is really in control of her life. People come into our lives for reasons or seasons. In Bishop Jakes, Cover Girls, the three main characters have direct a direct impact on each other's lives and they don't even realize it. We learn that God always has what we need we just have to learn how to accept it. Readincolor ReviewersAngie Pickett-Henderson

A character changing read

If you like a fast paced story with characters that reflect some of our own good and bad then this is the book to read. Tonya is like a lot of church people, just plain tired but never giving up or stopping and not seeing how their dress, face & posture reflect way more than what they say about the Lord. Michelle is like a LOT of our young people. Real tender hearted (truly she is :-)) but hiding it behind an invincable wall to keep from being hurt again and again. Her worst enemy is herself until Tonya and Shad (another co-worker) show her a different kind of love, God's love. Then there's the Boss I think we can all think of a person like her and even see some of ourselves in her. We all want our world orderly, neat and on time. But God tends to draw outside the lines we draw for ourselves. This book was so good I simply had to put it down more than once and chew the meat from God's table that I found in it. Unforgetable. Come on TD Jakes have a Cover Girls 2!
