Listen for his call

When He Calls is the coming of age novel that follows the life of Tonya Henderson. Tonya is not your typical young lady she is trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ. When He Calls opens with Tonya being the victim of a brutal attack. During her recovery period she thinks back on her life, from adolescence to adulthood. Growing up a child of a deacon, Tonya was always taught to be a Christian. Facing the same pressures that most kids go through she shows us how she dealt with temptation as a believer. We also meet Tonya's best friends, Lisa, Denise and Sasha. Being from different backgrounds the foursome didn't always handle situations the same. We learn how one of these young ladies makes a choice that affects her and her friends for the rest of their lives. Ms. Gordon-Love has written a beautifully inspirational novel. When He Calls, makes us realize how the choices we make in life can come back to haunt us. It also teaches us that Christ is the only way. Although this novel was written to educate our youths, each of us can learn a valuable lesson from it. Readincolor ReviewersAngie Pickett-Henderson

Page Turner

This book is about 4 young girls, who met in their freshman year of high school and became best friends. The book takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride through their lives. It makes you laugh and cry. A definite page turner. The far different personalities add spice to the book. The story touches on topics of premarital sex, AIDS, and a brutal attack. It was a very good story and brilliantly written. I highly recommend if for all young ladies to read.God Bless you,Sharel

When He Calls Review

I enjoyed this new book by Sharel. It was inspiring, emotional and refreshing to read. It is an inspirational book and makes you think where do you stand with God. It was easy to read and the language was clean not cursing and foul words for a change. The book has a good story line about Tonya and her childhood friends. The trials and temptation they went through while growing up. It showed Tonya having to trust God when she felt like he wasn't there but he was there all the time. It was nice to read the main characters had some morals. This book showed the value of friendship which is nice to have while going through tough opticals in life. I feel it is a book that teenagers, young adults and adults would enjoy. I'm waiting for Sharel to write her next book. Read it and think back when you were young and going up. The title "When He Calls" is just right for the book because when you think God doesn't care and have forgotten about you he hasn't forgotten about you even though we forget about him. If you like books by Victoria Murray and Jacquelin Thomas you will like this author new book.

Exellent work Ms. Gordon - Love!

This book was brilliantly put together, and I will recommend it for others to read. I took my time reading the book and I am glad that I did because it actually turned out to become an teachers manual in my life. It helped me with realizing the importance in valuing our friendship at a whole another level, and why I have to stay focused on God at all time. I also thank Him for your talented gift that you have poured out, and I am looking forward to reading a lot more of your work in the near future. Love and God Bless you.

A must have for teenagers and parents of teenagers

I found "When he calls" to be closest to reality book that I have read. I definitely saw myself and my childhood experiences in every page. Once you start you will be unable to put it down. Gordon-Love writes with such heart and soul, you have no choice but to relate to each character. I look forward to reading more from her. This book could easily be consider an instruction manual for parents and teenagers. I really loved reading this novel and I know you will too.
