In Need of a Joshua Man

By: Teresa D. Patterson

When Audrey Peterson walks into church feeling the need to purge past sins, she sees Pastor Raymond Dickerson and is immediately put off by his striking good looks. She unfairly assumes that he must be one of those hypocritical preachers, the kind that praises the Lord on Sunday and raises hell the rest of the week. As Audrey opens her heart and listens to Pastor Dickerson's sermon, she decides that her preconceived views may be wrong. There's more to the pastor than a handsome face. She feels something that she can't explain when she briefly shakes his hand upon leaving the church, and that "something" is returned by the pastor. He senses something different about Audrey from first glance. He sweats at the altar and has to brace himself before he can carry on with his sermon. He feels a connection, just like her, and finds himself turning to God for answers. At first, Raymond is unsure of what role he's to play in Audrey's life. Once he receives confirmation from God that she is to be his "help meet," he sets out to teach her about loving God and herself. He ends up being the "Joshua Man" who leads her out of the wilderness into a land of promise.

She finally arrives at the Prewitt’s place to hear the reading of her paternal grandmother’s last Will and Testament. After a face-off with her estranged relatives, Cherika is highly irritated and flustered. To her dismay, she ends up swooning and faints. Before her world goes completely dark, she finds herself staring into a pair of beautiful, hazel eyes. Those eyes belong to Zachariah Prewitt. Zachariah Prewitt is the type of hazel-eyed, snazzy-dressing, womanizer that Cherika steers clear of. Though her head tells her he’s not the one, her heart soars every time they encounter each other. Sparks ignite when Zachariah kisses her for the first time. No matter how hard she tries to fight the attraction, she finds herself falling hard. Zachariah senses that Cherika Daniels is the woman he’s destined to be with. However, he keeps pushing her further away by saying and doing the wrong things. To complicate matters, he can tell his twin brother, Hezekiah, is interested in Cherika, too. Their relationship is already strained, and he doesn’t want to cause an even further rift by going after the same woman. Hezekiah’s ex-fiancée, Carmen, returns to stir up even more chaos.

When Cherika witnesses Carmen and Zachariah locked in a passionate embrace, it causes all of her doubts and insecurities to resurface. She’ll have to decide if Zachariah is worth fighting for. Her heart has already been broken from a past relationship. Zachariah has set her soul on fire. Even if she wants to walk away from him will she be able to?
