Happy New Year, UC Authors and of course Happy New Year to our faithful Readers!

It’s a brand new year! God is still good and always will be good. I want to start off by giving Him all the praise, glory and honor that is due to Him for the great authors representing the Urban Christian Authors line. God’s magnificence is evident in the stories each of the authors write. I am especially grateful that He has allowed each one of us to remain here so that we can continue to do what He has designed us to do.

To our Readers, I pray that you will have the best year yet. I pray for God’s favor and blessing over your lives and the lives of your loved ones. I pray that the desires of your heart will be fulfilled, and that you will experience all that God has ready to give you.  Readers, you are the ones who help make what I call our ‘literary ministry’ the success that it is. God has indeed shown favor over us. It is evident in your comments, your purchases, and your reviews. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lastly, I’m sure I speak for all of the UC Authors when I say, we expect 2012 to be even better as we seek to continue to deliver life-changing stories to you.

The Soap Opera Continues with “I Can Do Better All By Myself”

Posted on October 26, 2011 by
The singles ministry at New Day Temple of Faith is beginning to unravel, and the pastor is considering dissolving the ministry. Some members believe the only way to hold it together is by getting their pastor to join. And why shouldn’t their leader show support by joining, considering the pastor’s own single status? Some church members support the idea, while others frown upon the fact that they are being led by a shepherd who is single in the first place. It becomes an all-out war, with one side wanting the pastor to embrace singlehood, while others secretly play matchmaker.
Marriage has been the furthest thing from the pastor’s mind, not because there hasn’t been an opportunity, but because there really hasn’t been time. With a needy congregation facing trials and tribulations, Pastor has no time to play the dating game. Being a pastor on call twenty-four seven, who has time for a serious relationship period, other than the one with God? Eventually, decisions have to made around New Day. Will these decisions mend the ministry or destroy the church?

The Bride Experiment by Mimi Jefferson

Posted on August 30, 2011 by

Mimi Jefferson’s first novel, The Single Sister Experiment tells what happens when single women stop having sex; and is geared toward the women. Her new novel, The Bride Experiment tells what happens when single women get fed up; and is geared toward the male. Read the exciting synopsis. 

James is days away from being married when he learns his fiancée, Raquel, has been keeping an explosive secret. Humiliated and with his reputation on the line, he sets out to destroy Raquel. The bride-to-be strikes back with a blow so intense it leaves James defenseless, with his life spiraling out of control. Within days, he is a shell of the confident, charismatic man he once was. James is contemplating suicide when he is almost killed in an accident. Now he is sure of only two things: he is too scared to die, and not fit to live. When Joan, an ex-girlfriend, introduces James to her pastor, he can’t help but be intrigued.

James is introduced to a world he did not know existed: single men who love God intensely. These men abstain from sex until married and read the scriptures like most men read the sports pages. Women are treated like precious jewels and held with the highest regard. Instead of strolling the clubs looking for girlfriends, they are kneeling at pews, praying for wives. James isn’t sure he’s buying any of it, but when the pastor offers to mentor him, he accepts the challenge. Living for the Lord when he’s been accustomed to the world brings a multitude of unexpected consequences. Can a ladies’ man really become God’s man?

Visit MimiJefferson.com  and check out the first chapter of The Bride Experiment. The novel is available at your local bookstore as well as online retailers. It is sure to spark some intense dialogue.

Coming August 2011!

After exchanging vows with  a prominent physician, Marlissa Scott-Jennings is prepared to enjoy the life most women dream about, but only a few achieve until demons from her past resurface with a vengeance.  Overnight, the perfect life she’d hoped for crumbles and leaves her finding comfort in alcohol.

Leon Scott had it all: a loving wife, children and a thriving business until tragedy strikes and he trades it all in for a bottle in a brown paper bag. After too much to drink leads to a night in a motel room, Marlissa’s and Leon’s world collide, resulting in friendship and sobriety.

On their journey from addiction, the two friends face their toughest task: repairing their broken marriages. Although their spouses may not prove to be as forgiving as the Lord, Marlissa and Leon continue to press forward, despite the obstacles, believing that after every storm there is always a Silver Lining.
