MEDIA ADVISORY, June 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- 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.

Derik Girdwood weaves a serpentine and suspenseful tale in his new novel as he exposes the twisted theological teachings of some popular churches as they try to portray man with the divine nature that the true Gospel reserves only for God.

Eighteen year old Christina has entered a Bible college with the purpose of becoming a servant and warrior for God. Her roommate, Becky, is dating the pastor's son and finds that she is pregnant. Weeks later, the college announces that Becky committed suicide. When Christina is told by a detective that Becky was savagely murdered and that Christina is a suspect, a strange journey begins and ends in an ultimate confrontation.

Derik Girdwood uses his tale of twists and turns to expose the dangers of faith healing, false prophets, Christ-consciousness, the Jezebel spirit and other anti-Gospel doctrines that threaten to hijack the Gospel. The novel cites appropriate scripture along its dramatic path and is based on Genesis 3: 4-6, where the serpent tempts Eve to disobey God so that Eve and Adam can become as God.

The novel does not have a "happy ending," but it does make the reader think and perhaps question some popular televangelists' teachings.

The Church of Jezebel, Hijacking the Gospel, is available in paperback through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and several Christian book retailers.
