Summary: The Truth is the Light
Comment: I have to admit I wasn't going to write this review because I thought the other reviewers said it all. However, I finally decided to add my two cents.
I'm still laughing at this book. I'm glad I read the other reviews and purchased a copy. Not only is this author a great writer but an amazing comedienne. I must admit that if someone doesn't have a sense or humor or understand satire the humor will be lost on them.
The premise of the title story is that Sister Betty gets a phone call from God. After an afternoon of mishaps that ultimately reveal that she never knew the true meaning of being a Christian Sister Betty sets off on a path to enlighten the other members of her church. It will not be easy.
I found it refreshing that the messages of God's love can be brought out in such an amazing and hilarious manner and I applaud the author.

Summary: Queen of Gospel Comedy still Reigns
Comment: Having waited for a couple of years to finally read the entire collection of the Sister Betty vignettes, I was not disappointed. I think that 209 + pages is not enough. What an imagination.
I love the way the author uses the simple things from life and turns them into humorous messages of spirituality without being preachy. I also loved the way G'Orge-Walker lets her characters TELL the story. I've read so many reviews where the reviewer states that her characters just "jump off the page." This book was so well written that by the third story, I didn't need to know the character's names in order to know who was speaking.
From start to finish, Sister Betty; a former hypocrit and head Pharasee at the Ain't Nobody Right But Us-All Others Goin' To Hell church is on a mission to save the members of her church. Aided by her snuff-dipping, crazy-eyed, take-no-nonsense buddy, Ma Cile they start off on their God-given adventure. I don't want to give anything away, but the two women are hysterical together and Ma Cile sometimes steals Sister Betty's thunder just by being herself.
The characters Reverend Knott Enuff Money and Sister Ima Hellraiser were two of my favorite because they remind me of folks I know.
On another note, I also read Ms. G'Orge-Walker's story, "Consequences" in the Proverbs for the People anthology. Her writing was totally different and I, again, was amazed at how she attacked a story about HIV and generational curses. It was amazing and I wouldn't have guessed, it was written by a comedy writer.
You can't go wrong with Sister Betty! God Calling you, again.
Rating: 4
Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: This book has all the scoop of so many churches these days. Her messages are very clear. Most are NOT focused on God, rather each other and gossip, greed and the list goes on and on. Thanks Mrs. Walker for the laughs and truthes.
