Meet the third Derwood: short, nearsighted, and afraid of everything. 
Jean Derwood's biggest hope is that one day she will do something brave or heroic and prove that she is not a coward. Chances of heroism seem pretty slim in the quiet town of Peabody, Wisconsin, but then a letter arrives for the family, inviting them down to Uncle Rufus's farm in Alabama. As Jean soon learns, the farm is next to an abandoned hunting lodge and no more than a mile from the turning and twisting passages of Limestone Cave. 
To make things even more interesting, a stolen jewel called the Winchester Beryl is said to have been hidden in the area. The police are still combing the mountains for the jewel thieves. Afraid, on the one hand, that the Lord will not send her an adventure and yet afraid that He will, Jean's first chore is to convince her parents to let her stay at the farm.

An interactive study book designed for victims of clergy abuse, this book is based upon Bible study to help Christians overcome abuse from churches or clergy. Appropriate for either group study or private study, this book supplies six weekly lessons and a seventh, closing review lesson. It also supplies six weeks (42 days) of short, daily devotional studies to help the reader understand that God Himself, as Jesus Christ, has shared in suffering unjustly at the hands of false religious leaders. This book is a good starting point for abused Christians who ask, "Why did God let this happen?" The Lambs Workbook is excellent for individual use, group study, or even book clubs.

Relying on research from sociologist James Ault and others, the author sets down a thesis that Christian Fundamentalist culture does not stem from a literal, exhaustive interpretation of the Bible, as it claims to. Her evidence is seven sermons, preached by five prominent Independent Fundamental Baptist preachers, including Lester Roloff and Jack Hyles, in sermons preached at local churches, Pastors School at First Baptist of Hammond, and Bob Jones University. Massi examines each text taken by each preacher and uses conservative, orthodox, Christian lexicons and commentaries to present the context and meaning of each text. She then shows how each of the preachers deviates radically from the text, some even utterly misrepresenting what the Bible is saying, as they preach the values of the Fundamentalist culture instead of the meaning of the text. Once again, as an insider, Jeri Massi demonstrates that Christian Fundamentalism is a version of Christianity gone wrong: a haven for religious hucksters who can easily blend in and change the Christian religion to build their own personal empires.

Hard hitting, funny, outrageous, and tender by turns, Secret Radio delivers a scathing assessment of the scandals, gross ignorance of Scripture, and back room deals that have been tolerated in Fundamentalism, while at the same time showing the genuine faith of many who labor for Christ and find Him faithful to His people. Told in journal format as Grace narrates her story, the book chronicles the lives of Grace and her five roommates during her senior year, from the dreamy Lilly who draws action and adventure comics to the brilliant, poker-faced Cinn, the godly Amy Carmichael and tragic Mary, this is a comedy about the tragedy of abuse of authority. Grace fills her adventures with vivid, real faces of a living and breathing humanity too often discounted by men dedicated to building big churches. The book introduces many characters: some of them villains, some of them saints, and most of them somewhere in between, but all needing the grace and mercy of God. Intended for adult Christian readers.
