Professor Templeton gets a lot more than she bargains for when she agrees to join an expedition whose goal is to find Genghis Khan's tomb. On her quest for his sarcophagus, she stumbles upon an ancient gold medallion. Its inscription enables her to uncover a conspiracy so horrific that not only does it create an international incident, but also causes one man to go insane and another to lose his life.

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.
