Be My Amazon is brave, honest and subversive. In the face of hateful legalism, Diedre, breast-cancer warrior and survivor of spiritual abuse, befriends the marginalised and fellow chemo patients with growing grace and love. Beautifully and skilfully written with laugh-aloud satire and tears, Be My Amazon will steal your heart. This is life-inspired fiction at its very best.

Be My Amazon is that happily unexpected book that hits the reader in several places at once. Is it an Ann Lamott-styled biographical novel? Is it a mystery set in a cozy little suburban church? Is it a modern take on C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters? Or is it a little of all the above? W. A. Noble’s precise, well-crafted prose takes the reader into the life of a well-established congregation that suddenly has to face the challenge that could tear it apart. It’s funny, insightful, and—blessedly—full of grace.

W. A. Noble hit a home run with this gem. In a humorous and naïvely vulnerable way, the protagonist manages to inadvertently wade through the thorniest of modern church issues while undergoing a tidal wave of personal suffering. Her book holds some surprises as it skilfully addresses homelessness, spiritual ignorance, and antagonist’s self-righteous insolence, modern day medicine for believers, the deceptive lure of supposed healing or deliverance ministries and other matters.
