It's a congregation on fire ... but is it for Jesus or for the devil? The church mothers are about to find out- and no one better get in their way! When the pastor of One Way Church of the Lord disappears, it seems that just maybe the haters and hellraisers in the congregation have finally gotten rid of the pain in their behinds ... and just maybe the deacons will get away with rushing to hire a new pastor more to their liking. But hold everything! The Mothers' Board has been quiet for too long, and they refuse to lay down after seeing their beloved pastor vanish. What follows is a rollicking adventure with the mothers sticking their noses in plenty of people's business and causing a fuss wherever they go-whether it's breaking and entering a house to search for clues ... or investigating the seemingly psycho church secretary. Along the way, the mothers show a heap of God's love to some hurting folks-and put the smack-down on the devil every chance they get. It's their church, after all, and mothers know best!

"No matter what life throws at'cha, you just keep on in spite of, baby!" That's the philosophy of the Mississippi Delta's very own Vivian Jewel Jones, a.k.a. Ms. Viv. A loving grandmother, neighbor, and friend, she is known in her community for her beautiful, feisty spirit and her delicious strawberry seven-up cake. She is a strong Christian woman who truly loves The Lord, but she is very down to earth-she loves rap music, professional wrestling, and can still get down on the dance floor. Ms. Viv is a rock of stability with a genuine love for others, always generous with words of encouragement and prayers when they are facing challenges. But when an unexpected tragedy tests her faith in The Lord, will she be able to follow her own advice? Life, Love, and Strawberry Seven-Up Cake is an uplifting and inspirational story that will make you laugh, touch your heart, and encourage you to think about what is most important in life. Through Ms. Viv's testimony, we are reminded that nothing is ever promised, so it is best to find joy in life, live for the moment, and most importantly, trust in The Lord.
