We are all familiar with the “Hollywood” type church service broadcasted on TV each Sunday portraying an almost glamorous event. Budding journalist Darrin Bainbridge is fascinated by this side of the church world, especially when it comes to the ministers involved. Essences’ bestselling author Tiffany Warren brings us a beautiful love story in The Bishop's Daughter conveying a relentless young writer looking for his big break only to find himself in a helpless state of love with the daughter of the man he is trying to expose.

As a freelance journalist, Darrin is anxious to establish himself in the writing world. After a visit from his mother one day, he becomes intrigued by the famous lives of television ministers and the excessive lifestyles that come along with this fame. They live in nice homes, drive fancy cars, and seem to have endless amounts of money and women to boot. Disgusted by this hypocrisy, Darrin sets out to the hometown of one of the industries most famous- Atlanta Bishop Kumal Prentiss. In order to get as close to him as possible, Darrin becomes a member of the church hoping to portray a clearer picture of what kind of man this Bishop truly is.

An unexpected twist occurs when Darrin’s recent membership comes with strings. Not only does this bring him closer to Kumal Prentiss, but to his daughter Emoni as well. Emoni Prentiss “hasn’t quite grown into her looks” yet, as her family likes to put it. Though not a conventional beauty, her heart more than makes for it and her wholesome ways are soon noticed by Darrin. As their relationship blossoms, it becomes increasingly hard to fulfill what he had originally come to Atlanta to do as Darrin is torn between excelling his career and surrendering to his feelings.

"My intention in writing Farther Than I Meant to Go, Longer Than I Meant to Stay is to minister to single and saved women. So many of my sisters in Christ have chosen to live for God and leave their love lives in His hands. I was inspired to write the story when a friend of mine got married for the first time at the age of fifty (to a good and saved brother). I just want to encourage someone and let them know that, "my God will supply all your need..." (Phil 4:19) and that even if a mate never materializes, "His grace is sufficient for thee..." (2 Corinthians 12:9).

As always, a lot of prayer and study went into the writing of this book. I believe that God led me to the story of Rizpah, whose story is in 2 Samuel 21. She was a woman who overcame the sensational grief of losing her husband Saul and her two sons. Her tears and outward expression of mourning moved King David to give her sons a proper burial and lifted famine from the land.

Rizpah's story along with the story of Rachel and Leah is used in Farther Than I Meant to Go, Longer Than I Meant to Stay to address the topics of grieving and low self-esteem. It is my hope that this story not only entertains, but uplifts and encourages all of my sistas in Christ."
