About the Author
Theresa A. Campbell is the author of the soul-fulfilling, entertaining novels; Marked at Birth, His Final Deal, Are You There, God? and its sequel, God Has Spoken. Her first novel Are You There, God? was selected as a Must-Read HEA romance in 2015 by USA Today.
Growing up in rural Jamaica without running water or electricity inspired Theresa to read a lot as a young girl. Theresa recalls her 11-year old self reading by the little kerosene oil lamp at the small dining table and losing herself in the characters. She knew even at that tender age that she wanted to be an author and this feeling only intensified over the years.
Sometimes it takes something sad to breakthrough to something good. The sudden and heartbreaking death of her beloved uncle led Theresa to write her first book, Are You There, God?, which she says was therapeutic and life-affirming for her. Theresa next wrote the sequel, God Has Spoken. Her books are set in Jamaica and readers can experience the Jamaican culture through her stories. You just may find yourself enticed to visit the island of paradise and to taste some of the delicious Jamaican cuisine mentioned in Theresa’s books.
It’s Theresa’s desire to not only entertain readers through books, but also to motivate and inspire with real characters that readers can relate to, while reminding us that God is always there for us.
5-Star Reviews for theresa a campbell's Books
How many times have you asked the question are you there God? Not from a rhetorical perspective but out of a need, out of true concern because the pain is so great.
We are introduced to two stories; one a back story but in my mind ran right along side of Dupree’ story, it was Mrs. Scott’ Campbell introduces the reader to two perspectives of God’s grace and our faith. The amazing thing is she weaves the story into itself for an audience looking for an inspirational read and those who are not. But for those of us who are looking for the movements of God you will not be disappointed. I think you might find moments when you are disappointed in yourself and have to regroup.
I was very surprised to have a character check me, heck I thought I had it going on but Dupree is the real deal and my lesson learned from her will stay with me always. The Lord will always go with the righteous,we have to be bold in our faith and not let situations cause us to forget. Dupree never forgot and God never forgot her even when she felt she made wrong decisions and couldn’t forgive herself.
The family support and heart of good people made this book an emotional one for me. At times I was crying, laughing screaming and on pins and needles trying to figure situations out. But in the end Campbell brought it together, I am definitely looking for the sequel, because once God speaks and we respond we need His follow up.
Outstanding read.
I have had this book and the sequel for quite some time and I haven’t gotten a chance to read them. All I Can say is O-M-G! This was a really good read. This book has a lot of adventure/drama twists and turns. Dupree is a young lady who has been raised by her great auntbut has been betrayed by many. Her great aunt has always told her to keep her trust in God and he will always see her through. Dupree learns this in so many ways. You will need to pick up a copy to see what happens next. Don’t sleep on this author. Great job Theresa A. Campbell.
I can’t even describe how wonderful this book is. All I can say is, you will NOT be disappointed when you read this novel. Theresa A. Campbell worked and weaved her talented words and crafted an inspirational, tear-jerking, love-consuming novel that had me laughing out loud, crying and wonderstruck, all in one. This novel touched my heart deeply and it will always be one of my favorites. I will be telling everyone about this novel!
This second book was so good! Sometimes when you keep secrets trying to help someone, you still end up hurting them. I’m just glad that in the end, everybody was able to tell their secrets, understand why people did what they did, and forgive one another so they could move on with their lives and be happy. With God you can overcome anything and forgive anyone. I hope Theresa A. Campbell decides to write another book continuing the storyline.
Ms. Campbell has written a wonderful story full of twists and turns. I found myself holding my breath as I read Suave’s story towards the ultimate triumphant, life in Christ. Suave is a modern day Saul who learned it’s hard to kick against the prick! Ms. Campbell explores many present day issues as she takes her readers on a roller coaster journey while Sauve engages in numerous deals until he realizes His Final Deal was the best. If you enjoy fast paced, edgy, and realistic Christian Fiction then His Final Deal delivers all of this and more. Great job Theresa.
Sometimes in life,we’re given a second chance, and it’s up to us what we do with it. Suave’s always been the hardest dude on his block in Jamaica, and he’s not afraid to flex his muscle or his status. He’s made it to kingpin status, and is generally doing pretty well for himself. However,his nemesis King Kong has had a beef with him since childhood and only has one goal in mind: getting rid of him and taking over the block. The two rivals made the shores of the paradise run blood red, and that shakes up the community to the core. Adding to this,a tragedy occurs for Suave that changes everything,and he’s also hiding a dark secret. Can he somehow manage to find his faith in God in spite of it all? Read it and find out!: Definitely a quick and drama filled read!
Theresa A Campbell shows her versatility as a write with her book His Final Deal. This urban tale set in the heart of Jamaica tells the story of Smooth Suave a Jamaican Drug Dealing Rude Boy who has his mind on his money and his money on his mind. He has it all money, women, power and respect but his thirst to rule the streets my be his downfall .
As we all know heavy is the head that wears the crown an that life at the top of the drug world is a dangerous and deadly place to be. When a rival Kingpin threatens to take him out and take over his empire he is forced to look at his life and make a decision that will give him the freedom and the life that he so desperately wants to hold onto.
We have all heard of the story where a man makes a deal with the devil, but the author has put a twist on this plot that i guarantee you will not see coming.
