Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
In the small Colorado town of Summit View, a surprising multi-generational mix of women from Grace Church meet once a week to pass a hot dish and to pray. But the Potluck Club, as they call themselves, is a recipe for disaster when they send up enough misinformed prayers to bring down a church. And the funny thing: the more they pray, the more troubles seem to come their way. It isn't until they invite God to the table that they discover friendship is the spice of life, and a little dash of grace, just like salt, goes a long way. With charming, down-home characters, humor, poignancy, and a recipe in every chapter, The Potluck Club will keep readers hungering for more.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Keeps you wanting more
I just finished the third book of this series, having read all three since I bought them less than a week ago. It's not that I really have the time to read that much but I couldn't put these books down. I literally put one book down and picked up the next. I'm sad now that I don't have another to pick up until September when the fourth book comes out.

I'm pleased with the way they were written, although they will never be classic literature. The plot lines were good, not cheesy, like many Christian fiction books about women. I loved how one book cleverly led right into the next, although it causes anguish for those of us who want to continue the story immediately. I will definitely be reading the subsequent book about the Potluck Club.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - So Pleased with this Potluck Dish!
I reviewed this as part of a book club and we were so impressed not just as readers, but as aspiring writers. This book, and the series, was not just co authored, but written from multiple points of view. We thought both feats were pulled off successfully.

This is a fun, warm read that has very distinct personalities I have a feeling exist in real churches. I encourage those of you who aren't sure about Clay's purpose (as I was in this book) to read the entire series. All characters, including Clay, are explored and utilized well.

I can't wait for the spin off!



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Slow starter, but good book overall
I had a little trouble getting into this book but it really ended up being a nice read. The characters are not all that lovable, and some of the plot is a little far-fetched, but overall not too bad. I wouldn't give a gushing recommendation, but more like a "Give it a try- you might like it".



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Mostly good, but a bit negative towards Californians
"The Potluck Club" is a good story, but I would have enjoyed it much more without so many jabs at my home state, thank you very much. At first, I thought that the California-bashing was merely a hang-up of Evangeline's, since she seemed to be the Weezer of the bunch (see "Steel Magnolias") but it was present in many sections of the novel.

While I can understand the hostility of the book's characters towards Californians for driving up real estate prices and having different lifestyle expectations, I think it's a bit undeserved. For the record, people who leave California are not all selfish and obnoxious with bad driving skills. A good number of us are average people who can no longer afford to live in the Golden State, even those with so-called "high-paying" jobs. Needless to say, I don't appreciate the lack of sympathy in "The Potluck Club" for those in our situation.

Kudos to the authors for alienating potential readers, but it's a fine novel otherwise.
