Book Description.

Everyone thought the ten month courtship and marriage between Willie Green, the strait-laced pastor of the traditional Harvest Baptist church, and Vanessa Morton, the dynamo preacher-pastor from the contemporary Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, was too soon. Neither pastor realized that after the nuptials, all heck would break loose as they planned to combine their respective churches. The honeymoon abruptly comes to an end as Willie tries to maintain control of his congregation as the staunch Deacon, Charley Thompson, and a group of dissenters go to extreme lengths to keep their religious routine going at Harvest. Meanwhile, Vanessa struggles with the new balancing act of being a competent co-pastor and a nurturing first lady to her husband. The price of having too much too soon leads them both to deal in their own way with letting go of the way things used to be.

DEX Detroit Green House

Book Description–In Detroit Green House by Dex, readers follow the friendship of Tywon Miller and Maurice `Money Bunny’ Bonner that began in their early childhood. From the start, Money showed traits of jealousy yet they were blind to Tywon; who really cherished their bond. As the two aged, various situations tested their friendship, but Tywon personified the saying `can’t see the forest for the trees’ and constantly down-played instances where Money’s integrity was in question. When Money was incarcerated, Tywon started making large sums of money from selling marijuana. Upon Money’s release, he noticed Tywon’s increased cash-flow and new circle of friends which made him feel replaced. Those feelings caused Money’s jealousy to flare with an added dimension; revenge. It was not until Tywon’s brother got shot, and possibly killed, that he took a hard look at their friendship. When thousands of dollars turned into millions, would Tywon be able to continue his life-long friendship with Money? Or would his rose-colored glasses shatter, revealing Money for what he really was?
