The biblical proverb is true: "Be sure your sins will find you out." This proverb proved to be true as we see it played out in the life of Gabrielle Mercedes as she seeks to begin life anew at the Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, pastored by George Landris.Goodness and Mercy, by Vanessa Davis Griggs, will have you crying out, "goodness and mercy!" for sure, by the time you get to its last page. Gabrielle Mercedes failed to resolve a past issue in her life, and as she tried to move on with another chapter of her life, the door to that unresolved issue in her past life swung wide open. Below is a little bit more about this new character, Gabrielle Mercedes, from the back cover of Goodness and Mercy:

Gabrielle Mercedes has dreamed of being a dancer since she was a little girl. But when her life takes a very different turn, it's not the future she'd envisioned for herself. Feeling a void she can't fill, she finds the salvation she's been seeking in church and decides to start anew. Learning that her church has a dance ministry, she's thrilled to have her first love back in her life. Then she meets handsome and the professionally accomplished Zachary Wayne Morgan, and finally everything seems to be falling into place--until a past secret threatens to tear it all apart, and her newfound faith is put to the ultimate test...
