Family Business V: The Atonement
by Vanessa Miller

The Shepherd family has come a long way. Demetrius has finally stepped out of his father, Don Shepherd’s shadow and is living for the Lord. But Demetrius has to find a way to forgive Don before it’s too late. Don Shepherd has been no angel and with his last days in front of him, he begins to realize that he has a lot to atone for. But has his heart been so hardened that he can’t accept the forgiveness he so desperately needs?

By all accounts, God was showing up and showing out in Dam Shepherd’s life. He had just graduated from college, was about to begin his ministry and had met the woman he planned to marry… then his grandfather became deathly ill and one of his brothers overdosed. Dam is left questioning his ministry while he struggles to get his family to come together.

Amarrea Harris refused to forgive her father and wanted nothing to do with him. But if she can’t find a way to forgive the first man she ever loved, she would never be able to accept the love Dam wants to give her. Family Business 5 is about God’s ability to forgive horrendous sin and our ability to step out of God’s way.
