Testify: To tell of God's goodness ONE STAR

Testimony was the wrong title of this book it should have been call "confessions" I understand that christians aren't perfect, but testimony in christian circles explains to a lost and hopeless world that no matter what trouble faces you that God has a better way/solution because he is a redeeming God. The way this book ended didn't symbolize the hope that is born from a true testimony. It just laid out the "confessions" of some lost people who maybe didnt really know God, or maybe that was the author's intent.

Somebody oughta testify,,,

Wonderfully written and definally a page turner. There is a need for a sequel if only for Margarget's selfish behind and for the sake of the choir. Good job Felicia Mason.

Everyone has a testimony

Roger McKenzie founder and director of the Triumphant Voices of Praise Gospel Choir. He loved singing,directing and writing the music.Roger has a eighteen year secret.Read how the relationships between the choir members affect their performances. I liked how the author devided the book in four parts Ensemble,Solo,Odeum and Requiem. This is my first read by Ms. Mason

Everyone has a story

Everyone has something in their past that they would like to change, but what can be done with the baggage? Is it held onto as a secret, with a daily prayer that it isn't found out or do you let it go and use it as a personal testimony to show others where God has brought you from? This is a central theme in Felicia Mason's novel Testimony. From the moment you start this book, you get a sense that things are not quite as they seem. The Triumphant Voices of Praise and their director, Roger, are going on a tour that will hopefully help them garner the national acclaim that has been out of reach for so long. Through the course of the book the reader follows the choir's tour and the events that follow. In the process, we get to know several of the characters on a more personal level and discover the secrets that they are hiding. We see the choir members struggle to become a better group, but also to become better Christians. This was my first book by Felicia Mason, but it will definitely not be my last. I am so impressed with how she brought a fresh new voice to the world of Christian Fiction. The plot of this story moved beyond the typical relationship issues while delving into serious emotional and personal issues. Mason keeps the plot flowing as she reveals secrets and introduces all kinds of twists and turns in the plot. Will the characters chose to follow God's plan for their lives or continue trying to do their own thing? Check out Testimony and find out for yourself.Reviewed by Stacey Seay

Anyone looking for a good book

This is the first novel that I have ever read by Ms. Mason. I was very impressed and am looking forward to reading her other books. I was happy to see that Ms. Mason did not alone everyone in the book to live happily ever after but kept the book very realistic.Even though this were members of a choir they each had their own situations to work through. This book dealt with everything from murder to HIV. You name it and it was in the book. I am happy to say that I would recommend this book to anyone.Well done Ms. Mason.
