Empowered-Singles Book Club.. this month's choice "Chosen"...

New Book for March: CHOSEN
A very well written story and an easy read. This book isn't chick lit though there is a romance, mainly a man and his Lord - an extremely well rounded story - as I have read so far!
I hope you can make it out.

The inspirational first novel from #1 Essence bestselling author Patricia Haley's series based on the popular biblical kings David and Solomon.

The death of the powerful David Mitchell has left his family and everyone at the company he and his ex-wife Madeline built from the ground up devastated. In fact the devastation started earlier with a painful past, but Dave Mitchell is a man of God and has received the gift of forgiveness from God that he would like his family to share.

Now the heir apparent to Dave's company has been pushed aside for the "other son", Joel, and the woman he is most eager to court, Abigail, refuses to leave the new CEO, Don has no recourse but to flee and begin a new life. Yet, Madeline will not allow this to happen to her son and has plans.

The appointment to CEO only touches the iceberg to legitimizing Joel's status as a Mitchell, but his greatest favor and wisdom is slowly being diluted by an old tempatation, maybe characterized best as a generational curse. Without listening to reason, this issue clouding personal judgement is also infiltrating in his faith and the foundational constructs of the company. Can he deny his father's dying wish?

Abigail is crying out to no avail. Joel has legitimized her position, but can he see there is so much more than work loyalty.

In a roller coaster of emotions in each chapter, a once strong leader's passion for God can be clouded and not only ruin the man, but all that surround him. Also, everything happens for a reason - Don's "non" appointment is in fact a doorway to the goal his father wanted.

And this book is a book you want to pick up. It is SO good. I am going to change the brief above to give something a little more accurate than the synopisis that the book has. This book is about a man and the love for His Lord - seriously. I just read a surprise that brings the whole story to a different light, so enjoy!
