Chief of Sinners (Texas Romance Family Saga Book 10)

WARNING: While the CHIEF OF SINNERS, book ten in the Texas Romance Family Saga series, is a love story, it is not your typical happily-ever-after romance. The epic tale is Caryl McAdoo's most controversial novel. Readers either love it or hate it. One reviewer would give it ONE HUNDRED STARS (out of five) if able; another aptly compares it to the classic GONE WITH THE WIND, also controversial in its day. As evidenced, a third of its readers gave it one star. Imperfect characters populate its 450 pages, sinners--some Christians, some not. All fall short of God's glory. Receiving salvation doesn't immediately make one perfect. Father God has a lot of work to do in each person--trials and troubles to grow us through. People don't always make the best choices. King David certainly didn't, yet he was still recognized as a man after God's own heart. CHIEF OF SINNERS' hero, Broderick Eversole Nightingale, known by most as Buddy, has issues and indeed makes his share of bad choices. But there are consequences. Reading MIGHTY TO SAVE, book nine in the series, might help readers to understand why Buddy is the way he is; childhoods affect every adult. The warning is that this story contains sin and sinning Christians. It also gives readers the plan of salvation and shows God's faithfulness to cover those sins--repented of--in the sacrificed Blood of His Son. But it contains no curse words or on-scene intimacies. Obedience can overcome ruinous choices, and with repentance of wicked ways, God’s faithful forgiveness and mercies never fail. Set in the afterglow of the Azusa Street Revival, this epic addition to the Texas Romance Family Saga sweeps through three decades of triumphs and tragedies—from the Texas Hill Country to the beaches of Normandy and beyond. The faithful flock to his father’s tent where Buddy Nightingale leads praise and worship, but like King David, the young psalmist battles a generational curse, lust. On his first night back in Marble Falls, Texas—the place he heard the angels sing fifteen years prior—he beholds Sandra Harris, an eighteen-year-old beauty, attending strictly for the entertainment of the Holy Ghost-filled meetings. Love strikes both, but her Church of Christ father wants no part of any holy roller. Sometimes choices we make take us places we never intend to go, but God . . . You choose. Then let the one who is without sin cast the first stone--or another one-star rating. Read more
