HOUSE OF OZ UNDONE (a cautionary tale)

It is finally here! My fourth book: The answer to my prayers regarding how to fight the existential crisis that awaits us in November 2024. Two years ago, I prayed the following prayer and posted it on my vision board:

“I want to write a book that is so widely read and seen that it breaks the “Talibanic” stronghold in Evangelical Christianity which is committing adultery with fascism and authoritarianism (an Uncle Tom’s Cabin book, so to speak). I want my words to start a revolution of truth and love in the heart that sets women and men free to live transformative lives of true love, freedom, mercy, grace, and truth instead of the hypocrisy currently masquerading as Christianity.

P.S. Hurry God! I’m already 73—not much time left for the task at hand.”

Well . . . I just turned 76 years old, and House of Oz Undone (a cautionary tale) is my birthday present to myself and to my readers. House of Oz Undone is a bold reinterpretation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for our time. It critiques the mix of truth and deception in modern faith. My book is a plea for societal reform against the dangerous mix of extremism and religion.

House of Oz Undone is more than a novel—it’s a call for truth and a catalyst for personal and societal change.
