About the Author
BLESSED selling author E.N. Joy is the author of Me, Myself and Him, which was her debut work into the Christian Fiction genre. Formerly a secular author writing under the names Joylynn M. Jossel and JOY, when she decided to fully dedicate her life to Christ, that meant she had to fully dedicate her work as well. She made a conscious decision that whatever she penned from that point on had to glorify God and His kingdom.
The “Still Divas” series is a continuance of the “New Day Divas” series, which was incited by her publisher, Carl Weber, but birthed by the Holy Spirit. God used Mr. Weber to pitch the idea to E.N. Joy; sort of plant the seed in her spirit, of which she prayed on and eventually the seed was watered and grew into a phenomenal series of books that she is sure will touch readers across the world.
“My goal and prayer with the ‘New Day Divas’ and the ‘Still Divas’ series is to put an end to the Church Fiction/ Drama versus Christian Fiction dilemma,” E.N. Joy states, “and find a divine medium that pleases both God and the readers.”
With the success of the “New Day Divas” and the “Still Divas” series thus far, it is safe to say that readers agree this project is one that definitely glorifies God in every aspect, but still manages to display in a godly manner that there are “Church Folks” (church fiction), and then there are “Christian Folks” (Christian fiction), and come Sunday morning, they all end up in the same place.
E.N. Joy currently resides in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, where she is working on book three of the “Still Divas” series titled The Sunday-Only Christian.

The Sunday-Only Christian
Book Three of the “Still Divas” Series
What kind of woman wants a man so badly that she’d be willing to lie to get him? What if that lie includes denying the fact that she has a child?
Deborah Lewis is that woman. The suave, debonair Lynox Chase is the man Deborah wants. He’s the man Deborah has wanted for years, almost had, but decided to give her ex a try, leaving Lynox hanging. With her ex no longer in the picture, Deborah is willing to eat crow and go claim Lynox. She can’t help but worry if he will be forgiving and take her back, but figures after two years, he’s had time to get over it.
Readers’ Group Guide Questions
1. Do you think Mother Doreen owed it to the entire congregation to share her past?
2. Do you think Terrance had a right to approach Mother Doreen regarding her past that involved his mother?
3. Do you think Mother Doreen wanted to visit West Virginia for selfish reasons?
4. Did Mother Doreen owe it to Pastor Frey to let him know one way or another if she was going to marry him before she even went to West Virginia? Did she not owe her current situation closer versus her past situation?
5. Mother Doreen stayed with Willie regardless of his continued faults? Do you think that made her a good woman or so called Ride or Die Chick? Why or why not?
6. How do you feel about the advice Mrs. Tucker gave Doreen as a young bride?
7. Put yourself in Mother Doreen’s shoes. Had you seen Willie’s car at that motel, would you have turned your car around and gone back to check things out? How would you have handled the situation?
8. If you found out the things Mother Doreen found out about her deceased husband, how would that make you feel?
9. Do you think, after what Mother Doreen had been through with Willie and in addition the new things she learned about him, she’ll be able to fully trust a man? Or do you think ultimately Pastor Frey will pay for Willie’s sins?
10. Most of my readers of the “New Day Divas” series always saw Mother Doreen as the perfect Christian. Did you? How do you feel about her now after learning her entire testimony?
