What People are Saying About This
"In 2005 the killer of ten persons was arrested in Wichita, Kansas. It had been 25 years since the tenth murder. The killer called himself BTK: Bind, Torture, Kill. He was a well- respected president of his Lutheran congregation, worshiping there every Sunday, a leader in the community. That much is fact. Novelist Diane Glancy explores the complex emotions of how a Christian community deals with and survives age-old issues of good and evil by creating four voices, two pastors and their spouses, as they work through their differing emotions and convictions. This is not a novel for the faint-hearted, but for those who stay the course the rewards in insight and compassion are well worth it."
Eugene H. Peterson, Professor of Spiritual Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, BC
"One of Us is a book of questions. How is it evil dwells among us? How does a church respond when murder reveals the lurking horrors of resentment, self-righteousness, judgment, and naivete? Through the meditations of church leaders and the murderer himself Diane Glancy uncovers the tension between the incomplete experience of salvation and the wholeness of a promised redemption."
John Leax, author of Recluse Freedom
