    About this ebook

    A short story by women's fiction bestselling author Sonia Rumzi.

    Prayer Groups are a large part of church activities. What constitutes appropriate in a circle of praying souls? How far should someone divulge problems that do not belong to them? This is a story of a small town embroiled in gossip and innuendo in the name of faith and caring.

      The Family’s Medium

      Apr 10, 2024

      “I love my family,” I say with my voice clawing against the walls of the mud hut. Smoke plumes to the thatched ceiling and dissipates into the straws of blackened dry grass—a telling of past fires that have warmed the hut and cooked family meals. “I

      I add my voice to my sister's Lord and pray that you bring her, she said with emphasis, back to the fold Lord Jesus and you bless her soul and you keep her from all harm and every wile of the devil.

      Morna supported the previous prayer as the words spilled out of her mouth in a string where she did not take a breath.

      We know Lord, continued Morna shaking her head, that the devil is roaming, trying to devour Marianne's sister Lord. We know that he is dirty and plays terrible tricks on us Lord and there is no one who could stop his fiery darts except you Lord, said Morna.

      The overwhelmed predatory worshipper stopped where another picked
