MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bestselling author, Vanessa Davis Griggs, in her second compelling novel, Strongholds, takes us into the lives of members of the mega-church, Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, to show us that things are not always what they seem to be on the outside, and that even though many people hope for Heaven, they have to deal with life as it is on earth with its trials and tribulations.

The true Christian life is not one of ease, rather it is a daily battle that we have to fight. In Strongholds, Griggs shares with us the amazing power that redemption and faith can have in people's lives.

When Pastor George Landris, the dreadlock-wearing minister of the new mega-church urges his congregation to approach the altar and cast off their strongholds, also known as their weaknesses, it's the start of intense soul-searching for many congregants: from a married couple's twin addictions of gambling and gluttony, to a female member's adulterous affair, a computer expert's obsession with cyber-porn, and a therapist's workaholism, the pastor's church family is about to open the proverbial floodgates. And that's just the beginning. There's also the woman whose battle with mental illness hides a buried trauma, and the righteous devotee who's so busy fearing the devil she's forgotten what faith is really about. The plot only thickens when the pastor's wife lightens his load by helping him counsel-and finds herself at the center of a decades-long deception.

Vanessa Davis Griggs is an author and motivational speaker who adores the power of words both written and spoken. At the end of 1996, this former BellSouth employee left 18 years of service, stepped out on faith and decided to pursue her purpose and passion-- writing. She travels around the country inspiring others--young and old--to take flight and do the same. Vanessa is the author of several novels.
