Kayla and Minister Samuel Jerrod are in love. Sam understands what it means to be a minister and to be equally yoked. So when Kayla blurts out that she doesn't believe in his God and she will not set foot in a church Sam is flabbergasted. Kayla has several different personal reasons why she is angry with God. As the story unfolds the reader is given more detail about each issue and my heart breaks because you can see they are made for one another, except for Kayla's lack of belief and faith.Samuel Jerrod is twenty-seven years of age and is Grace Temple's Administrative Pastors; one of the largest churches in Oakland California. He is smitten with Kayla at first sight; she's beautiful but as a minister the title doesn't allow him to casually date. When Sam finds out that the packages the delivery service left at his door belongs to the beautiful Kayla Perez he's mesmerized.Throughout the book Sam and Kayla profess a platonic relationship, but their hearts are saying something different. Their relationship reminded me of the ones we had as young folks, afraid to let the other person know we "like them." They constantly talked on the phone 2 and 3 times a day, and was in one another's presence just as much. Sam and Kayla both have to come to grips with the obstacles in their relationship including their own feelings and actions in order to build a life together. The emotional rollercoaster they were riding was coming to a full stop and one of the two wasn't strapped in.To date I have read and enjoyed EVERY book Ms Campbell has written. All of the storylines in her novels are based on God's agape love and how it can free us from our self and our issues. Also we cannot have a Christian book without the faith elements; they are not presented in an overbearing way. As Kayla struggles with her faith the transformation she does on her own speaks volumes of what God can do in our lives. Her transformation is evenly paced.Kayla's Redemption reminds me of Lamentations 3:58 - "You, Lord, took up my case; you redeemed my life" and that is what he did for Kayla. Faith, hope and love join together to tell the story from their perspective. Fantastic read!!!A complimentary copy of this unbound galley was provided by the author for the purpose of this review.MissyReaders Paradise5 book marks
