Secret Radio

My Senior Year at a Christian Fundamentalist College (Twenty-five Years Ago)

By: Grace Jovian,Jeri Massi

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.

Bitter Root

Atheistic Practices Embedded in Christian Fundamentalism

By: Jeri Massi

Using case histories and the words of Christian Fundamentalist preachers themselves, Jeri Massi shows that Christian Fundamentalism draws a considerable amount of its religious culture from the philosophies attributed to atheist philosophers Fredrich Nietzsche, Ivan Pavlov, and BF Skinner. Massi shows, from the Bible, that Christian Fundamentalism's insistence on a literal interpretation of the Bible is not so much literal as it is a materialist interpretation, removing from the Bible much of its wisdom and vitality.

Courage by Darkness

By: Jeri Massi

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. Book jacket.

Soon the boys find themselves rolling along the scenic highways of Alaska in an open Jeep and in the company of Jack's uncle and some other "interesting" characters.

Schizophrenic Sermons

Blasphemy, Heresy, and Deceptions Preached As Scripture by Prominent Independent Fundamental Baptist Preachers

By: Jeri Massi

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.

Schizophrenic Christianity

How Christian Fundamentalism Attracts and Protects Sociopaths, Abusive Pastors, and Child Molesters

By: Jeri Massi

Now updated with more cases and more insights on the inside politics of Christian Fundamentalism, SCHIZOPHRENIC CHRISTIANITY throws light onto the culture of Fundamentalism that permits its leaders to molest children. 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.

Blasphemy, Heresy, and Deceptions Preached as Scripture by Prominent Independent Fundamental Baptist Preachers

By: Jeri Massi

Featuring an expose on sermons by Jack Hyles, Lester Roloff., Jack Schaap, Bob Gray (Texas), and Jeff Owens, this book shocks the reader by showing the vast ignorance of the men preaching. Originally written in 2007, the second edition is being released in response to reader requests. Seven popular IFB sermons are chosen, outlined, and examined in light of the very texts that they claim to preach. The author shows the utter disregard for Scripture of the men preaching, as well as their ignorance of it. Where possible, urls to the full sermons referenced are provided in the text (as of 2021)
