And You Call Yourself A Christian

Posted on April 12, 2012 by
Out of all the divas at New Day Temple of Faith, Unique has to be the most colorful one–she and her mother Lorain, that is. Never one to hold her tongue in the name of keepin’ it real, it’s no surprise that Unique has not been saved all her life. It’s safe to say that Lorain wasn’t born on the church pew either. Let the church folk tell it, the apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree when it comes to Unique.
Lorain–once known as the tight skirt, V-neck blouse, too much makeup-wearing leader of the New Day Singles Ministry–claims she’s there to look out for her daughter and try to keep her in check. But how in the world does Lorain think she can even begin to keep her daughter on the straight and narrow with her own crooked life?
Some might say Lorain has failed miserably as a mother when Unique ends up in jail for three counts of murder. One who would agree is the woman who raised Unique while Lorain was out living her life freely. As an all-out war takes place between Unique’s birth mother and the woman who raised her, will Unique have any support while she fights for her life behind bars? Will all forsake her while they are too busy with their own agendas? Only God holds the answer to this one.

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.
