ABOUT THE BOOK
After three years of marriage, Denise Hightower discovers that her husband, Pastor Bryce Hightower, has a secret addiction that not only jeopardizes his marriage, but impairs his ability to effectively preach the gospel. ....
Yielding to pressure from her mother and her husband, Denise agrees to keep his addiction a secret, although her self-esteem plummets. Her life as the perfect First Lady is falling apart at the seams. Denise suffers in silence until she is confronted with the addiction from a trusted member of the church. ....
Self-centered and determined to uphold his pastoral image, Bryce is oblivious to his wife's emotional state. He's convinced that he can overcome his "little problem" on his own, so he rejects the spiritual help God sends him. But when his secret is discovered, will he be able to come clean with himself, God, and his congregation before he loses it all?

BOOK REVIEW ....
When I read Christian fiction, I’m looking for a good story that touches on issues that I can relate to in some way, and Illusions did not disappoint.
Pastor Bryce Hightower seems like he has the world in his hands; a growing church to pastor and a loving wife standing beside him. Unfortunately, he’s hiding an addiction that could destroy everything God has blessed him with, and he’s determined that he will either conquer the problem alone or it won’t get conquered.
I enjoyed the fact that this pastor wasn’t portrayed as perfect, but as a man like any other. Pastor Hightower reacted the way many men would in his situation, and that realism makes for a better read. To me, Illusions is what Christian fiction is all about; believable characters and a storyline that edifies and entertains at the same time. I give it five stars, and I’m sure you will too when you get the chance to read it.
