A Time to Speak — Michelle Stimpson

A witty, wise, seasoned southern woman and a host of hilarious characters in a small town church...it's like Madea meets War Room. The good folks at Mt. Zion Baptist are doing their best to keep the church flowing smoothly while Pastor Phillips takes time off to be with his wife in her final days. Beatrice Mama B Jackson even opens her home so that the women's groups can continue to meet faithfully after some rascal stole the copper from the church's air conditioning unit. With her semi-estranged granddaughter and great-grandson staying in the guest room, Mama B soon has a full house.When the interim preacher and his wife start touting messages that don't line up with the Bible, Mama B wonders how and if she can intervene without causing strife in the congregation or discouraging the young couple.  But Mama B can only take so much of this foolishness. Soon enough, Mama B will realize that there is much more at stake than she or anyone else at Mt. Zion ever imagined...and it's time to speak.
