ABOUT THE BOOK

When Christian talk show host Serenity Williams’ fiancé calls off their wedding because he can’t deal with her popularity, she determines that she will never fall in love with another pride-filled, ego-driven pastor. Then, Serenity’s producer asks her to interview the charismatic Pastor Phillip McKnight, who has recently gone through a divorce. Serenity feels that this is her chance to expose the arrogance of ego-filled pastors to the world. But Pastor Phillip is broken and humbled from his experiences, and the surprising humility of this man causes Serenity to want to un-break his heart. However, Serenity will need the Lord to fix her heart and change her mind about male preachers before she and Phillip can become all they were meant to be to each other.

Let Go and Let God

A Love for Tomorrow by Vanessa Miller is a story that deals with past pains, life missions and learning to let go and move forward. In this novel, Serenity Williams, an evangelist who has grown up in a ministerial family, has seen the good, and what she believes are some of the worst things about being committed to people. These very things are why Serenity Williams has chosen the ministry route that she has, reaching and pouring into the hearts of many. Serenity’s ability to touch lives at the same time remaining untouched, lead to her many emotional and relationship struggles. In addition to a family event Serenity witnessed in her youth, supporting characters Michael Randolph and Philip McKnight will help readers to understand Serenity’s complexity.

I enjoyed reading this selection. My favorite character is Phillip McKnight. I think it was mostly because of his “been there, done that” mentality, and his patience and heart to really yearn to do what is right in the eyes of God. I closed this book believing that each character realized a lot about themselves and each other, and that they each had somehow grown for their own past experiences.

This book is very entertaining, touching upon issues such as “women in the pulpit,” letting go of past emotional hurts and learning to live and love again. I would read other selections authored by Ms. Miller.

Submit to the Keeping the Faith Anthology presented by Vanessa Miller

Author, playwright and motivational speaker, Vanessa Miller, is in need of three (3) more stories for the Keeping the Faith anthology.

Do you have a story of faith that you'd like to share with thousands of readers? Are you a writer, but you’re still trying to find a way to become published? Do you have a book out, but you just haven’t been able to connect with your audience yet, and you’re looking for a way to introduce yourself to more readers? Becoming a contributing author in the Faith Series Anthologies can help you achieve your goals.

I have already published two books in this series (This Far by Faith and Have a Little Faith) which have sold thousands of books. Keeping the Faith will be the third and final non-fiction book in the Faith series.

What are the writing guidelines?

The genre is strictly Christian, so the material submitted MUST be biblically sound. It should be double-spaced and in 12-point type (Times New Roman font only). This anthology will be filled with stories of HOPE, and VICTORY through Jesus Christ. I’m looking for short stories that show how faith in God can bring you through the storms of life and personal testimonies concerning the situations in your life that caused you to KEEP THE FAITH even when you didn’t want to anymore. There are also countless personal testimonies of God’s healing power in the area of illness and deliverance. I need those stories for KEEPING THE FAITH. Absolutely no profanity, sexually explicit or vulgar language permitted. Each story should be 4,000 – 6,000 words.

If you have a story that would meet this guidelines and are interested in contributing to the Keeping the Faith anthology, email Vanessa at: vmiller-01@earthlink.net. In the subject line, type the words Keeping the Faith and let her know that you would like more information and Ms. Miller will forward submission guidelines.
