Denise Cook-Godfrey has provided readers with an anointed, edge-of-your-seat seat, stand-up-on-your-feet, and talk-to-the-pages type of story. This book and its series have had me all in my feelings. We can get to my thoughts in a moment.
Book description according to Amazon
Forced into the new First Lady role at Shady Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Leah Westchester-Jackson’s true gifts and passions are stamped out by impossible expectations. To cope, Leah creates a fake identity, attempting to appease her father and husband. Already suffering from the effects of family drama, including sibling rivalry, favoritism fueled by colorism, and a lack of maternal bonding, Leah finally loses all restraint when her heart shatters into millions of pieces from the chaos of betrayal, legalism, and hypocrisy. Leah plummets into a search for completion outside of the walls of the traditional church, where she gets caught up in metaphysics, transcendental meditation, mind science, gender confusion, and more.
Will Leah find her true identity and healing during this adventure without her traditional Bible study notes?
Kyle Jackson is the new Pastor of Shady Hill, and has his own battles to fight. Climbing out of the dangerous gutter of his past life and landing in the safety of the Westchester family ministry has given him a great new start… but will his skeletons come out to haunt him and disrupt his already-broken marriage and ministry?
“Leah”, whose name means “weary” takes the term “level up” to new heights as she attempts to define true worship, spirituality, and love while overcoming the family drama that threatens to steal her soul in the name of the church.
My thoughts
I could not put this book down. I had to message Denise, who by the way is super cool (you should leave her reviews and let her know how her story impacted you,) to tell her how I almost got in trouble at work because I was reading. Apparently, the day job people think that you should actually work and not read just one more page—lol #truestory. I was captivated by Leah’s character and the foolishness that Kyle has going on in these pages. I would definitely encourage you to read this book and support Denise Cook Godfrey’s platform.

Are you in the mood for a quick read?
Sometimes we want to read a good story but we only have a short amount of free time. That is one of the reasons I wrote the Living a Blessed Lie series. This 90-minute read is a perfect read for your lunch break or kids’ football practice.
They say they are Living their Blessed Life but someone is LIVING A BLESSED LIE.
We all have flaws but do you have faith
