What reviewers are saying:
“The Amen Sisters is more than just a story of how two women heal after betrayal. It is an insiders’ view at a church culture that often overlooks the misdeeds of those in leadership under the guise of "keeping the peace." -Faithwebbin.net
“Powerful! Soul searching! Spiritually provoking! Angela Benson has again produced a powerful rendition of love, forgiveness, God’s grace and mercy in The Amen Sisters!” –RomanceInColor.com
“Peppered with Biblical principles and building upon a foundation of forgiveness, Angela Benson tells the tale of Francine Amen and her sister Dawn Amen-Ray. These two ladies each have their personal demons, and it was heartening to watch them grow right before your eyes as you watch the Amens come to terms with owning up to their actions and making amends for them.” –FallenAngelReviews.com
What readers are saying:
“I really enjoyed the book and have experienced some of the scenarios that are in the book!!!! I feel this book is a tool for healing to take place in the lives of those who have experienced like situations. Thank you for writing this book.” -DK
“I just finished reading The Amen Sisters today and it was such a blessing. It was very refreshing to read a book that had such a clear message of love and forgiveness. It was so true to life.” -AM
“Thank you so much for writing the Amen Sisters. I have been where your characters were--been under a cult-like church, with a pastor that took advantage of me (and many other women). That was one of the worse seasons of my life and I felt just like the girl in your book did that no one believed. Thanks for helping me sort through some things I had never dealt with concerning that whole season of my life. God bless you!!!”–ST
What Angela Benson says:
I have written the article, Helping a Friend after the Trauma of an Abusive Church, as a complement to The Amen Sisters. I wrote it to help people who have friends and family involved in abusive church situations. I have put a copy of it on my website, hoping that you will share it with the people in your life that you think might be helped by reading it. God bless you.
