I love it when one of the books I've read gets turned into a movie. The book Let The Church Say Amen was written by ReShonda Tate Billingsley. She is another one of the wonderful authors that I got to meet at the National Book Club Conference last August.
The movie was produced by Queen Latifah and Regina King. Regina made her directorial debut working on this project. The star studded cast includes Steve Harris, Lela Rochon, Naturi Naughton, and Hosea Sanchez. MegaFest attendees got to see a screening of it last year. The rest of us will finally get to see the film when it appears on TV.
Let the Church Say Amen is about the first family of a Houston church. Reverend Jackson devotes so much of his time building up his congregation that he neglects his own family. As a result, all three of his kids lead dysfunctional lives. That's all I'm going to say. You will have to read the book yourself or wait until the two hour BET original movie comes out.
