Holy Hustler Book Review - THUMBS UP
Category: Writing and Poetry
4 OUT OF 5 STARS
The tide is changing for the Goodlove men at Sweetwater Powerhouse of God and it's not for the better. Pastor Goodlove "Gee" is living large and lavish from the enormous ministry he is built. He has it all…his throne at Sweetwater, a beautiful wife half his age, mansions, cars…and a lustful desire that will be his undoing. His crafty ideas to bring in big money to add to Sweetwater's bottom line…and line his pockets…is the reason he was coined holy hustler by some.
Goodlove is the perfect last name for this family, as all three sons and their father are dealing with some sexual issues. Reginald is embezzling money from the church in order to live it up on the weekends with his sexy escorts. Damien's marriage to Michelle is nothing more than an agreement on paper because he is chasing every single skirt in church on Sunday, and his wife knows it. His infidelity leaves him and his wife in some very peculiar, even fatal, situations. Barry is truly in love with Amy Blackwell, the daughter of another prominent pastor. Barry has every intention to spend the rest of his days with the pure and beautiful Amy as his wife. There is only one problem - Sissy - a sexy Sunday school teacher that his flesh could not deny. Sissy's main objective is to become Mrs. Sissy Goodlove, so she sets some plans in motion to make Barry her husband, by any means necessary. Can you say crazy drama!?
HOLY HUSTLER is a bold and daring story that sheds light on subjects many Christians are uncomfortable speaking on publicly. Unfortunately, although HOLY HUSTLER is fiction, a lot of the shortcomings entertained in this book are real issues in the church.
P.L. Wilson did a very good job of creating a page turner from the beginning to the end. While HOLY HUSTLER leaves unfinished business for each of the Goodlove men, don't fret P.L. has a sequel on the way.
