When it becomes apparent there's a serial killer on the loose in his city, he follows meager clues all the way to the East Coast and back.

This whodunit will keep you turning the pages all the way to the startling conclusion.
In His Right Mind tells the story of a man who is thrust into an adventure he never would have chosen, with a result he never could have imagined--the sort of story that is more often publicized in the case of a woman who is being threatened by a deranged lover; the sort of situation where protective restraining-orders are of no avail. In the midst of a growing maelstrom of external events, the story focuses forcefully on the inner responses of its sensitively introspective protagonist.A prominent theme of the story: When pushed into crisis far beyond that found in our daily lives, we never know what aspect of ourselves will emerge--unless and until such a dire crisis actually befalls us.
Much scarred orphan, Truman Kramer, having joined the Peace Corps, is assigned to a small Malaysian community, serving an assemblage of all-but-forgotten handicapped children. Truman, never having kissed a girl, becomes involved with an unloved, married woman; a shopkeeper's wife craving anything of her own. As his service wanes, mired in earnestness and deceit, his lover's husband discovers his wife's affair. Torn with remorse, young Truman acts, plumbing the depths of love, and our need to attach ourselves to other human beings.
As a child, in Farmers Branch, Texas, Christa Brown was preyed upon by her youth minister. Then her church community, people she thought were her friends, betrayed her. She was treated as a seductress while, in their eyes, he remained a good, God-honoring man. Trusted authority figures told her to pray for forgiveness and keep quiet.Years later, having a teenage daughter of her own made Christa realize that what she'd always thought of as an "affair" was actually something much more sinister-abuse.Christa spent decades suffering from the repercussions of her childhood trauma before deciding to break her silence. The story shared in this book is a call for accountability within the Southern Baptist Convention. It highlights the denomination's alarming inaction and downright punishing of victims. Brown's fight for justice casts the Church's widespread culture of denial, the negligence of denominational leaders, and the harmful impact of their "do-nothingness" in stark relief.This is not just about one man's crime, but about an institutional failure affecting thousands.In the fifteen years since its initial publication, the need for institutional reform remains pressing, as Southern Baptist leaders continue to evade meaningful action. This Little Light is both a call to action and a testament to the enduring power of truth.Brown is also the author of Baptistland: A Memoir of Abuse, Betrayal and Transformation.
