Not Guilty of Love

Malcolm Jamieson and Hallison Dinkins have the charisma, the chemistry and the commitment of an everlasting love until God shatters their foundation. Malcolm isn’t the man who got away, but the one God instructs Hallison to give away if she’s serious about her walk with Him. Malcolm becomes suspicious with his fiancée sudden religious conversion.

It doesn’t take long for him to find one hypocrite: gun-toting widow, Mrs. Beatrice Tilley Beacon aka Grandma BB. She professes the same salvation on Sunday, but seeks revenge on Monday to settle an old score. Malcolm issues Hallison an ultimatum, “Fine, if we’re meant to be, we’ll find our way back to each other. If not, there is a stronger love that awaits us.” Unbeknownst to him, God gives Malcolm exactly what he didn’t ask for—a woman not after God’s own heart. Someone has to retreat, and God doesn’t lose a battle.
