The Church of Jezebel: Hijacking the Gospel

Derik Girdwood weaves a serpentine and suspenseful tale in his revised 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, aged eighteen, has been admitted to a Bible college and intends to become 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 has committed suicide. A no-nonsense detective informs Christina that Becky was murdered and 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 culminates in a mission to Haiti, where nothing is what it seems, and a scandal develops that involves the highest levels of the megachurch. 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 and emerging televangelists and churches. A must-read for every Christian.
