SECRET RADIO scheduled for re-release
Secret Radio, the book that started it all (at least for me), is scheduled to be re-released later this summer through Jupiter Rising Books. The novel, which chronicles the senior year of Grace Jovian and her friends at Greater Independent Baptist College, should be available in a less expensive, more conventional book size. Its estimated retail price is $15.

SCHIZOPHRENIC CHRISTIANITY now available on AMAZON
 | Schizophrenic Christianity: How Christian Fundamentalism Attracts and Protects Sociopaths, Abusive Pastors, and Child Molesters Using case study after case study of Independent Fundamental Baptist pastors accused, indicted, or convicted of child molesting, the author shows that these men continue to serve in the ministry unhindered. With surprising quotes from public leaders of Christian Fundamentalism such as the late Jerry Falwell, the author shows that many ultra-conservative Baptist churches grant their pastors total immunity and blame and isolate their victims instead. In easy to understand language, Massi explains the theology of American Christian Fundamentalism and shows how it has departed radically from historic Christian belief into a gender-based, externalized pietism that evaluates spiritual success in terms of numbers and political power. She paints a frightening picture of a religion gone horribly wrong, in which child molesters can easily pick up the lingo, amass a following, and hold themselves above accountability by merging into a system that refuses to police itself or institute rules of behavior for its clergy. |

The Lambs Workbook - for Victims of Clergy Abuse or Church Abuse
 | The Lambs Workbook: Recovering from Church Abuse, Clergy Abuse, Spiritual Abuse, and the Legalism of Christian Fundamentalism 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. |
