The faithful flock to his father’s revival tent where Buddy Nightingale leads praise and worship, but like King David, the young psalmist battles a generational curse, lust. On his first night back in Marble Falls, Texas—the place he heard the angels sing fifteen years prior—he beholds Sandra Harris, a beauty attending strictly for the entertainment of the Spirit-filled meeting. Love strikes both, but her Church of Christ father wants no part of any holy roller—not for his daughter.

Sometimes choices we make take us places we never intend to go, but God . . .

A barnstorming preacher and songster [and] a forties big-top evangelist provides a story of rising and falling, saving and sinning, with some ‘Katie bar the door’ lifestyle living. Yet it’s soo-o-o good to be back with this saga’s family; even the terrible sinners of the lot, like me, a sinner redeemed. Caryl McAdoo tells yarns like no other.

Chief of Sinners is most definitely, in my opinion, a must read, and I highly recommend it. I cannot wait to see what series the author will come up with next. 100 stars!

McAdoo’s writing draws the readers into the story with the imperfect, realistic characters and expressive descriptions of all they are facing.

This one is my favorite, and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. It is a story with flawed characters and deals with tough subjects of infidelity, infidelity, and even murder, but it is also a beautiful story showing God’s love, grace and forgiveness.

Caryl McAdoo writes gritty novels with real life drama, and this is no exception. This story keeps the reader guessing. Buddy walks with the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other – who will he listen to?
