[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Two pastors one vision" by Eugene SHEPPARD.]

This is my review of Two Pastors, One Vision: The Story of the Lady Who Transformed a Prophecy into a Reality by Eugene Sheppard. This is an amazing story of Eugene and Patrice's journey as they built their lifelong ministry.
On a trip to London, 26-year-old Eugene visited his friend, evangelist D. E. Bernard, and his family. Introduced to the congregation, he heard a powerful voice saying, "I have chosen you!" He did not doubt that the Lord was calling him to the ministry.
He related a story about his childhood in Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia. He contracted double pneumonia, and his grandpa rushed him to the hospital on a streetcar in Washington, D.C. After being discharged, his grandpa carried him home in the rain. Unfortunately, his grandpa became ill with pneumonia himself, and he did not recover. Eugene knew his grandpa had saved his life, and he knew God had allowed him to live for a reason.
He worked in the ministry; however, without proper direction. One wonderful day, he met Patrice, a strong-minded Christian woman. When they married, their ministry began with a prophecy. For the rest of their lives, the prophecy helped them to walk in faith. The ministry started in Washington, D. C., in Ward 8, where people needed their help.
Patrice had been working as a secretary for city officials and had expertise in filing permits and requesting grants. “Lydia’s House” was their first project that cared for troubled women. Whenever they had a new idea to help the community; miraculously, companies and individuals wanted to help. Their ideas expanded across the US. Reading about their achievements as they walked in faith with the Lord is inspiring.
In conclusion, Eugene wrote this book to honor his wife, who passed in 2021. He did a wonderful way of praising her as his wife and partner in their ministry. She stood by his side in everything he wanted to do for the Lord, offering her advice and guidance. His heartfelt words about how much he loved Patrice and misses her now were sweet. Photos throughout the book are such a pleasant touch. I found nothing I disliked about this book. There are typos and because of that, I removed 1 star. This book has a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because of the reasons I have mentioned in this review.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment.

Two Pastors, One Vision by Eugene Sheppard sounds like a deeply moving account of faith, love, and dedication. The story of Eugene and Patrice's journey in ministry, especially how they built their lives around a prophetic vision, is incredibly inspiring. It's heartwarming to see how their personal experiences and challenges shaped their mission, particularly in serving the community in Washington, D.C.

The journey of Eugene and Patrice in Two Pastors, One Vision sounds truly inspiring, especially how their faith and commitment led to meaningful community projects like Lydia’s House. The personal anecdotes, particularly Eugene's memories of his grandfather, add depth to their story. It’s touching that this book also serves as a tribute to Patrice. Despite the minor typos, it seems like a heartfelt and motivating read for those interested in faith-based stories and community transformation.
