May 2002 - May 2002 - The headlines are all too familiar--yet another member of the clergy is caught up in scandal. Whether dealing with pedophile priests or revelations about Jesse Jackson, many Americans are wondering what has gone so tragically wrong with our religious institutions. Can any priest or preacher be trusted? Vanessa Davis Griggs brings a voice of reason to the current maelstrom. Vanessa has seen firsthand how the power of the pulpit can attract "God groupies" and corrupt church leaders. But she also applauds the many pastors who quietly devote their lives to their spiritual flock. If you're looking for someone who isn't afraid to speak out against dishonest clergy and on behalf of principled preachers, Vanessa is that someone as she directs our attention to:
- Examples of how some preachers can misuse God to attract fame, fortune and females.
- Why so many husbands become jealous of their wives' devotion to the church.
- How deceitful pastors can circumvent their congregation's system of checks and balances for financial or personal gain.
- The special challenges that face even the most dedicated ministers.
Vanessa Davis Griggs is a motivational speaker and the author of Promises Beyond Jordan--a novel about integrity. 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 "read like a movie." Drama that defiantly keeps it real in a real world, it's spiritual without being preachy. A heart-tugging story that will make you think, laugh, cry; but most of all, appreciate those you love...and those who love you.
