He drives luxury cars, has two thriving churches, and has the reputation every minister wished to possess. The Bishop\u2019s life appears to be scandal free. However, will his highly visible and anointed lifestyle remain intact after Patrick? Patrick is a member of the Bishop\u2019s church, a former drug lord whose Christian virtues are tested when he discovers his wife, Kerrah, is his Bishop\u2019s mistress. Will the Bishop and his blessed life survive the wrath of a scorned husband who is still learning to forgive?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1zguVGsrlQA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is my first introduction to CJ Miller&#8217;s work, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. As I mentioned on my <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1zguVGsrlQA\">video review<\/a>,\u00a0<em>The Bishop&#8217;s Mistress<\/em> is a Christian urban book. However, it&#8217;s not your atypical Christian novel. It&#8217;s different than most Christian books I&#8217;ve read and reviewed, as it&#8217;s real, gritty and relatable.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Bishop&#8217;s Mistress<\/em> is about a good looking, prominent and anointed Bishop James, who is married to a wealthy white woman by the name of Janice. He loves Janice, but falls from grace by having a steamy, and passionate affair with one of his church members;\u00a0a sexy, attractive black woman by the name of Kerrah. Kerrah happens to be married to Patrick, who is a dangerous drug dealer.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick finds out that Kerrah is cheating on him with the Bishop and the consequences that spiral out of his discovery will leave you\u00a0in suspense.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps there are those who would not agree that someone would go to the extent as Patrick did to avenge his betrayal.\u00a0However, I believe the circumstances to be realistic, if someone is angry and ruthless enough. Anything is possible and can happen when you take a chance and cheat. It&#8217;s like playing Russian Roulette with your life and soul.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this book, it draws you in from the very start\u00a0and continues throughout the entire book. There is a moral and message to this story, without feeling like you&#8217;re being\u00a0preached at. I highly recommend it and look forward to\u00a0reading more by CJ Miller.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/?attachment_id=3347\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3347\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3347\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/A-HOLY-GHOST-MADE-KING-2015-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/A-HOLY-GHOST-MADE-KING-2015-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/A-HOLY-GHOST-MADE-KING-2015-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/A-HOLY-GHOST-MADE-KING-2015.jpg 514w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/cjmillerbooks.com\/\">CJ Miller<\/a> was raised in Southern California and started writing at the age of ten.
