Dear Reader,
I began writing The Vine Church in 2015. Yes, ten long years ago. It wasn’t called The Vine Church, but there was a church in the story called The Vine Family Church. I wrote the story as a script for a movie but God had other plans. Once completed, it was abandoned and completely forgotten until April 2024 when I stumbled on it. I changed the format, rewrote the story and here we are. This is unlike anything I have written before and I couldn’t have done it without God helping me every single step of the journey.
For a very limited period, I am giving you a free sample of the book to read and share your feedback in the comments section below. Please click on the link below and start reading straight away. I look forward to reading your honest reviews even as I return to my writing desk for what’s next.
Blessings…
Evie.

This is a story line that is so captivating, you wouldn’t want to stop reading once you start reading. It tells a story of how faith in God heals all tribulations in life. I can only imagine if this has been developed into a film as it was the initial intention of the writer – it would have been an award winning movie. Keep up the good work & I pray God to bless your work.
Thank you very much for your review of the book, The Vine Church. This is the first review I have received and I am super excited. Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you found the story captivating.
I will be reading this! Thank you for thinking of me!
Thank you, Marilyn. I look forward to receiving your review.
Spellbinding! From beginning to end, “The Vine Church” is masterfully written, immediately enthralling the reader, securing them firmly on the edge of their seat. A prolific storyteller, Eturuvie has intricately woven a tapestry of human weaknesses–unveiling a pattern of flagrant deception, unholy alliances, and broken relationships–crisscrossing threads that lay bare family secrets interconnected in ways unimaginable. Then, with spiritual precision, she closes the loop between sin and redemptive grace emphasizing godly principles we must all apply to save us from ourselves.
Thank you for this superbly written review of The Vine Church. It truly captures the essence of the book.
I anticipated that The Vine would be an excellent work of Christian fiction. What I didn’t anticipate was how I was drawn into the characters’ humanity shown through their challenges and victories. When they fell short in their Christian journey, I related. When they succeeded, I related. I do believe God guided you (the author) in writing The Vine because it’s more than an exceptional Christian fictional drama. It’s a much-needed story of “reconciliation, forgiveness, and renewed faith.” I seldom read a book a second time, but I’m going to read this one a second time! I would recommend The Vine.
Thank you so much, Cynthia, for your review of The Vine Church. Yes, God guided the writing of this book and as my daughter has told me more than once, God wrote the book and let me put my name on it. I am glad to hear that the story blessed you.
This is inspiring indeed, just watched the clip and it is outstanding. Haven’t read the book yet but I’ll be reading by the grace of God. Great job sis.
Remember! No limits.
The Vine Church was a wonderfully entertaining read. I read it in one (butt- hurting) sitting. It was great to get drawn into the secret lives of all the characters in such a faith affirming story. Some might feel the ending was too sweet, but I think it was wonderful conclusion to a roller coaster ride of a story. I have a friend called Alabo, so I am very unhappy that somebody did the Alabo in this story so dirty. I hold the author personally responsible for another story with a good outcome for the Alabo therein.
Thank you, Sina for your review of The Vine Church. It is appreciated and I am glad you enjoyed the story for the most part. About Alabo, what can I say? On behalf of the character who did Alabo dirty, I apologise. And my daughter thinks it’s probably best you don’t give your friend, Alabo, the book to read. 😀
The Vine Church is simply a masterpiece. The twist of John, Jr.’s stabbing was a traumatic event which saved not only James his beloved cousin, but also a lot of souls, homes and strengthened shaky marriages, including his parent’s.
I love the way the book ended – in repentance for many who were willing and obedient to the voice of God, but for the reprobate Oliver, it ended in retribution. He didn’t have to die. I enjoyed every bit of the read.
Again, as a minister of the Gospel, I learnt from Pastor John how not to treat my wife and children with less attention while getting all busy trying to save the world (other members – others) but neglecting my immediate family. In this regard, the book has brought me some useful correction and encouragement as a pastor. If we want people to be authentic and also learn to set and respect boundaries, then we should not seek to punish them when they speak truth to power or simply say No to our ways or opinions. Anger and pride could have ruined the family and ministry of the man of God, but thank God for such timely intervention as the stabbing of John, Jr. and the praying church.
Indeed, all things, including traumatic events, disappointments and failures work together for the good of those who love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. Rom. 8:28.
Thank you, Dr. Erebor for such a beautiful and inspiring work.
Thank you, Pastor Sam Chivor, for your review of The Vine Church. Indeed, God’s servants can learn a lesson or two from Pastor John. I am pleased to learn that you were able to relate with his character and learn from him how not to treat your family. And I too thought that the book ended beautifully. Once again, thank you for reading and reviewing The Vine Church.
