Book excerpt: What really happened behind the scenes of this controversial documentary? Amid accusations of child abuse, brainwashing, and indoctrinating children, Becky Fischer, a Pentecostal children's pastor of twenty years, allowed this movie to continue to be played and sold even though many movie reviews and news commentators held her and her ministry up to serious question. Why didn't she renounce it like many Christian leaders thought she should? Why didn't she back away from it when many critics felt it put Christianity in a negative light? This book will answers these questions and more including: * Why did Becky allow the movie to be made in the first place? * Was it true she was raising up children as Christian jihadists? * What was behind the negative comments about Harry Potter? * What was in the controversial sermon on abortion that stirred the children up so emotionally? * What are Evangelical Christians really like? What do they believe? * Whatever happened to the featured children? Are they okay?
