"Have you ever loved someone that you never had?" No doubt, this is possible--loving someone you've never had. If not you, then maybe someone you know. In PROMISES BEYOND JORDAN, George Landris speaks these words to Theresa Jordan, his wife-to-be, just as he rushes off to search for Johnnie Mae Taylor (a woman he once loved) after learning she and her family were in a serious car accident. Being that it's nine days before he and Theresa are set to wed, a natural sense of uneasiness starts to loom.

But then, Theresa has a few problems of her own brewing. One of which stems from a promise her father--Richard, now Bishop Jordan--made thirty years ago to Lena Patterson: a twenty-year-old woman critically burned in a fire. As secrets begin to surface, they may prove to be Theresa's (as well as some others') undoing. Add to this mix, a scandal threatening to split--if not destroy--Wings of Grace Faith Ministry Church (along with its unconventional, dreadlocks-wearing, Word-teaching pastor), and you have all the necessary ingredients for a spirited, drama-filled, smorgasbord of a story. Help yourself to the buffet!

From the Publisher:

Set in Atlanta and Birmingham (with an incident in Winston-Salem); this suspense-woven tale of family, love, friendship, commitment, sacrifice, ministry, promises, and scars (seen and unseen) is said to be "like a puzzle you put together." PROMISES BEYOND JORDAN: A novel that defiantly keeps it real in a real world, is spiritual without being preachy. A heart-tugging story that will make you think, laugh, cry; and most of all, appreciate those you love and those who love you! Just one word of advice--a reminder really: BREATHE. As you turn the pages, do remember to take a breath. And breathe.

About the Author:

Vanessa Davis Griggs is a wife, mother of three, author & speaker...a woman of words and action. Called "The Encourager"'; she loves the power of words whether written or spoken. Words that inspire, teach, empower, entertain, encourage, and motivate. A former BellSouth employee (18 years service), she answered a higher calling. One she directs toward helping others to realize just how special and unique they truly are...to know that they really can be "free to soar" while moving to higher heights. She believes every person is endowed with their own special gift, and that we along with our gifts, touch and affect each other. "It's important that we recognize 1: that we all truly have purpose, and 2: that we should walk in our gifts and purposes. When we do," she says, "we all win. Because we all are, in some way, connected. Now that's... true power!"
