| Outskirts Press announces the release of The Church of Jezebel, Hijacking the Gospel, Derik R. Girdwood’s suspenseful novel about a murder revealed and the subsequent discoveries a young Christian woman makes as she finds out all is not what it seems in the world of the church and its missionaries. |
| By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) 5.0 out of 5 stars. July 9, 2010. "Lined with scripture and a powerful message, "The Church of Jezebel" is a fine Christian novel, highly recommended." Derik Girdwood weaves a serpentine and suspenseful tale in his new novel as he exposes the twisted theological teachings of some popular televangelists and churches as they try to portray man with the divine nature that the true Gospel reserves only for God. Christina, age 18, is admitted to a Bible college with the intent of becoming a mighty servant and warrior for God. Christina's college roommate, Becky, is dating the pastor's son and becomes pregnant. A few weeks later the college announces that Becky committed suicide. However, a no-nonsense detective informs Christina that Becky was murdered and that Christina is a suspect in Becky's brutal death. Christina's journey is fraught with twists and turns but she eventually succumbs to the Jezebel spirit only to find that it almost destroys her. The novel moves towards a missions' trip to Haiti where everything is not what it seems and concludes in an ultimate confrontation that reaches to the highest levels of this mega-church. The Church of Jezebel cites appropriate Scripture and examines the Jezebel spirit, false prophets, word-faith doctrine, faith healing, Christ-consciousness, and other beliefs that are so heavily promoted today by many popular televangelists and churches. Author Bio: Derik R. Girdwood is an attorney in Michigan and his practice consists mostly of divorce and criminal defense. As a divorce attorney, the author has witnessed just how destructive the Jezebel spirit and other false doctrines have been to church members, families and individuals. It is his prayer that The Church of Jezebel will be of help to identify and then counsel a person who is seduced into the Jezebel spirit. And, this book just may be a good read too.
