Summary of Jezebel Summary of Jezebel Reviews for Jezebel An Excerpt from Jezebel
The biblical story reworked as a “cunning”(RAWSISTAZ Reviewers) contemporary romance of sin and salvation—from the Essence bestselling author.

Small town Georgia girl Jessie Belle just met her ticket out of town: a trusting pastor starting a prosperous church in South Carolina. Seduced by the riches that come with position and power, Jessie uses her wiles to move her unwitting husband into the forefront of the country’s leading ministry— by any means possible, including lies, sex, betrayal, and blackmail. When the walls come tumbling down, Jessie will pay a price she never imagined, and discover one last chance at redemption she never expected.

“Thomas takes this bible story and reworks it for modern times...I highly recommend.”
RAWSISTAZ Reviewers

“A deep look at temptation in various forms. Fans of inspirational Christian fiction will relish this powerful look at the Jezebel spirit.”
Midwest Book Review

“A stark, yet beautiful and poignant love story...of greed, jealousy, and redemption.”
