Insiders

Jean Derwood heedlessly bumbles into danger, inadvertently coming between Doc Thorson and a deadly enemy that the science teacher has thwarted. Her rash actions set off a chain reaction that leads her to a remote corner of the galaxy where she is hunted as food on a desperate trek to survive. But do not fear, O Gentle Reader! Doc and Scruggs Grady team up with the galaxy's premier detective, Mags Hardbottle, to locate Jean in time. It's another comedy-adventure romp through the cosmos, but with a touch of heaven, as Jean encounters some of the true citizens of the cosmos in her adventures."The way you mix laugh-out-loud adventure with that deeper, spiritual heartbeat is something really special. It feels like Narnia collided with Hitchhiker's Guide, but with your own brilliant spark." Charlotte Corner, review After the harrowing events of 9/11, Jeri Massi did some soul searching and realized that she needed to live a more authentic, charitable, concerned Christian life. Already familiar with two cases of the abuse of children in Christian Fundamentalism, she decided to research and document cases in order to keep the sacred lives of these children public, so that their stories could not be hidden by the pastors in power in Fundamentalism. A graduate of Bob Jones University, she undertook reasearch of the structure on Christian Fundamentalism, its history, and other abuse cases that were hidden away in the back rooms of churches. At first naively thinking she might find as many as half a dozen cases, she soon realized that there surely were dozens of abuse cases in these churches, then as she continued to uncover cases, hundreds. After thirteen years of documenting cases, interviewing victims, and confronting pastors, she realized that sexually abusing children is as much a part of the church culture of Christian Fundamentalism as baptism by immersion and Wednesday night church suppers.
