"One of the most entertaining Christian fiction series to come along in years! Crisp humor, fast-paced storytelling. Full of unforgettable characters."
An Amazon Kindle 'Christian Fiction' Bestseller with over 600 "Five Star" reviews!
Elmo Jenkins is about to graduate with a masters degree in Christian education and a minor in cynicism. When he lands an internship at a large metropolitan church, he quite literally stumbles his way through as he learns to baptize and bury, visit and marry the faithful flock. Think Ferris Bueller Goes to Church with a side of Holden Caulfield thrown in for good measure.
The cast of characters filling the pews at First Church keeps him on his toes and more than a little bewildered at times. The salty widow who serves up a homemade pie with a surprise ingredient. The quirky single adult with a heart as big as Elvis who deems himself quite the ladies man. The larger-than-life music minister who pulls more than a few punches along the way, and even an old church janitor with a few ancient secrets of his own.
Woven throughout Elmo's adventures is a hundred-year-old mystery he's determined to solve and even a chance at true love along the way. Elmo's story pulls back the sacred curtain and allows the reader to examine the inner workings of a mega-church with all its warts and wonders. Ride along and watch as Elmo's cynicism slowly transforms into hope.
McMillian's Moody fast-paced novel will bring a smile to even the most backslidden amongst its readers. - OBT Bookz
What readers are saying about the Elmo Jenkins series
These are just the most enjoyable books--you really like all of the characters--they become friends you look forward to spending time with. It's almost like reading life, or the way you would like life to be."
"What's not to love about Elmo and his friends? You feel as if you're reading about people from your own church. The situations make you laugh, cry, and thank God for those that tirelessly work behind the scenes of every church. The Elmo series is never a disappointment."
I am in love with this series. Being in the church and ministry for many years, it is so real and relatable! I love Elmo's wit and humor. Mr. Moody you do a great job with this series and these characters. Highly recommend."
This series will make you laugh, smile, and maybe shed a tear. Written from the perspective of someone who's been in church ministry and knows all the "behind the scenes" drama that occurs in any church. Loved all the books and would love to read more!"
