This is the story of Mt. Bentley Christian Church of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When the church suddenly catches fire and burns to the ground, I conducted several interviews with current and past members chronicling what turned out to be the jaw-dropping history of Mt. Bentley. While following along with the individual stories of the sanctuary I found myself stunned, shocked and dumbfound by the secrets that were unleashed. I've always heard that if you want drama and politics, look to the church. But my thought has always been - salvation is found in church; but after conducting these interviews - I know now, I have been blind to the big picture of what goes on 'Between Pews' on Sunday mornings.

Confessions of a Coward is a book intended to give men the freedom to acknowledge their fears and failures as men and more specifically as husbands and fathers. Once they find the strength to do so, they can then discover the path to courageous manhood. This is not a how-to book written from an "e;expert"e; perspective. This book does not give the answers but attempts to point men to the answers found in the grace, mercy, and truth of God. This is truly a confession of sorts and hopefully a road map out of the abyss of the cowardly lifestyle far too many Christian men are living today.
