Sister Betty Says I Do by Pat G'Orge-Walker

Promoting books and performing comedy are very arduous tasks particularly when you are trying to expose the church to a new method of bringing people to Christ. Pat’s storytelling is likened to Zora Neale Hurston’s folklores documentation of American culture and church life in literature. She has paved the way for many others in both fields. The First Lady of Gospel Comedy forges a successful career as author and comedian.

Mercy and compassion season every word spoken or written by Pat, who makes her story palpitate in the hearts of people who readily relate to victory over adversity. Pat is a ’kept woman’ whose life is held firmly and safely in God’s hand. Through it all, Pat quietly soaked in material from her father’s Baptist congregation and her mother’s Pentecostal assembly to create the stories that keep readers and audiences howling with laughter. Vernon, New York PK (preacher’s kid) has survived a raging house fire a violent assault a car crash that mangled her body and a viral infection that left her temporarily blinded. Pat G’Orge-Walker has paid a high price for the ever-present smile on her face. Growing up a preacher’s kid gave G’Orge-Walker a quirky perspective on the church community and inspired her to create a one-woman comedy show centering on Sister Betty, an elderly supersaint whose un-Christian-like behavior blocks her blessings. She was a contributor of a short story to the anthology Proverbs for the People. She has authored 10 books, Somebody’s Sinning in My Bed Don’t Blame The Devil Somewhat Saved Cruisin’ on Desperation Mother Eternal Ann Everlastin’s Dead No Ordinary Noel and Sister Betty, God’s Calling You, Again!. “A wonderful romp that will have wide appeal to both sinners and saints.” - Library Journal “Walker shines…with her usual inspirational, knee-slapping style.Pat accepts an Award From the 2007 African American Literary Awards Show With her happiness, the church’s future, and Tom’s sanity on the line, Sister Betty will need to kick some spiritual butt, take names-and fight for some major soul-saving miracles. But she’s armed with enough sense and scripture to keep contentious church busybodies from sowing even more chaos amid the congregation-until a rehearsal disaster and an unexpected secret causes Freddie to break off the engagement without explanation… While this no-nonsense prayer warrior needs all the holy backup she can get, her pastor, Reverend Leotis Tom, is desperately dodging temptation as two women compete to become his First Lady. Unfortunately, she knows the chances of having a peaceful ceremony in their beloved Crossing Over Sanctuary Church are slim to none.

“A comedic story that will leave fans clamoring for more.” -ReShonda Tate Billingsley An inspiring, devilishly funny tale of hope, secrets-and hard-knock faith that can make the most impossible situations right… For Sister Betty, the marriage proposal from trustee Freddie Noel is a once-in-a-lifetime surprise blessing.
