The fictional stories written by Crystal L. Watson and Grace E. Bryant, take you on a realistic journey into some of the struggles and battles that Christians face. We are not exempt because we are Christians. We were born into a sinful world, and we must fight against the temptations of the enemy (Satan). We uncover and disclose some of the struggles that Christians face in their everyday lives. Problems like fornication, lust, lies, adultery, incest, envy, greed, jealousy, gossip, homosexuality etc., are present in our churches. These issues are openly identified through fictional characters, but they do exist today in some of our lives. The intent is not to disgrace the church but rather to honestly unveil and attempt to deal with some of these issues. We have taken off the big church hats, the suits and ties, the high-heeled shoes, the pounds of make-up, and presented these characters naked in their own environments outside the church building. God sees and knows everything! Through these fictional characters, we identify social problems, temptations and evil persuasions that Satan uses to attack Gods Children.
