  About Sins of the Father

  “Wonderful….An entertaining, enjoyable novel that deserves to be on every bestsellers list.” –Victoria Christopher Murray, bestselling author of Too Little, Too Late
  

  Successful media mogul Abraham Martin has great wealth, an elegant wife, Saralyn, and a rebellious son, Isaac. He also has a secret: a second family that no one knows about. Now, after thirty years—driven by the urging of his long dormant conscience—Abraham is determined to do the right thing by finally bringing his illegitimate children into the light…and into the family fold.

  But beautiful, manipulative Saralyn will never accept the proof of her husband’s indiscretions. Isaac the heir, shaken by his father’s revelations, will fight mercilessly when his world is threatened, and may lose everything that matters as a result. And while Abraham’s forgotten daughter Deborah is open to the undreamed-of possibilities suddenly awaiting her, son Michael cannot forgive the man who cruelly abandoned them to near poverty. And he’s driven by only one desire: revenge!

  Angela Benson’s Sins of the Father is a powerful story of a house bitterly divided—a rich, multilayered family saga of betrayal and redemption, rage and compassion, faith, forgiveness, and ultimately, of love.

  About Dr. Cheryl Wilson-Bridges

  

  
  

  
  

  For Cheryl Wilson-Bridges, DSL—Minister of Music at Community Praise Center (CPC) Church, Alexandria, Virginia—praise, honor, and devotion are not just powerful definitions for worship, they define the way she lives her life. Ask her to identify her spiritual springboard and she will say, without hesitation, Matthew 6:33, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. This God-given directive guides her life and, through the Holy Spirit, empowers her to preach, minister, lead, and serve.

  The Path to Ministry
  Dr. Wilson-Bridges’ rich heritage extends from the shores of the Caribbean paradise Trinidad and Tobago to the culturally diverse borough of Queens, New York, the place of her birth, and Long Island where her gift of singing was nurtured in the Seventh-day Adventist church and school systems.

  Her path to music ministry began in 1985 as a tenor with the female contemporary gospel group, Reconciled. This experience allowed her to minister to thousands and witness first hand that music is a powerful tool of worship and evangelism. The impact of this ministry propelled her into the journey that resulted in the call that has gripped her
  life—the call to worship ministry.

  The Call to Worship
  In August of 2000, Dr. Wilson-Bridges accepted the call to be CPC’s Minister of Music and instituted an organizational  and structural worship design based on the Levitical priestly order—outlined in 1Chronicles 15, 16, 25 and 2 Chronicles 5 —for the church’s music ministry department. She assembled a team of artists, musicians, singers, songwriters, poets, actors, dancers, and others who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, use their specific gifts to lead others in worship, uplift the broken, and change lives. And as the former director for the CPC choir Higher Calling, she used each musical selection to witness, testify, heal, strengthen, and encourage.

  As Minister of Music Dr. Wilson-Bridges also serves as presiding pastor for worship services and has implemented a liturgical format and vibrant praise ministry that promotes an intimate worship experience with God. For her, worship is for God and about God.

  Dr. Wilson-Bridges is also a rotational pulpit pastor and ordained elder at CPC, delivering the word with power and conviction. She has conducted worship seminars for congregations in Baltimore, MD; Berrien Springs, MI; Boston, MA; Atlanta, GA; London, England; and the island of Martinique; and has designed a five-part seminar series on the organizational design and application of the Levitical priestly order for the contemporary church.

  Equipped to Serve
  In May 2004, she received her Master of Arts degree in Practical Theology and Worship from Regent University’s School of Divinity. In May 2008, she received her Doctorate in Strategic Leadership with an emphasis in Worship Leadership from Regent University’s School of Global Leadership and Entrepreneurship. She is supported in God’s call by her husband, Conrad, and son, Darius. They believe that God has called her to be a vessel through which He will create a sea of worshipers.
