FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 The Amen Sisters, (Paperback Edition), by Essence Bestselling Author Angela Benson, is Coming to A Bookstore Near You—Nation-Wide Release, November 19th

ATL, November 5, 2007 – The Amen Sisters, by award-winning author, Angela Benson, is bringing healing and hope to lives that have been devastated by church abuse, adultery, and family betrayal.

The Amen Sisters "touched my heart because I know someone who is under the spell of my old pastor and it is hard to get her unhooked from this man." —Reader

"I was deeply touched, having been in similar situations as one of the characters. I was surprised to learn that I wasn't alone in this particular experience and the advice was the pat on the back I REALLY needed." —Reader

"Thank you for helping me deal with some powerful issues. I'm a much better woman after reading The Amen Sisters." —Reader

In The Amen Sisters, twin sisters, Dawn and Francine Amen, endure a preying pastor, an adulterous spouse, and the suicide of a dear friend. The situations the sisters go through and the problems they face are common in the church today, though they are rarely discussed. Through the lives of Dawn and Francine, The Amen Sisters not only surfaces these issues, it demonstrates how to come through them stronger and wiser than before.

Read The Amen Sisters and see the drama unfold in an "excellent story of failure, judgment, redemption and release from shame." —FaithfulReader.com.

"Kudos to Benson for dealing with one of the last remaining taboo topics in today's church in such a straightforward and compassionate manner." —FallenAngelReviews.com.
