Flashbacks is a stunning and rather chilling expos of the organized church (at least that part which refers to itself as "conservative"). While it is a scathing indictment, it is also a story of triumphing against all odds. It is a sweeping story that covers half a century and half of America, and it resonates well with those who have suffered any form of abuse and with those who suffer from a debilitating disease like Crohn's. It has appeal to the denizens of the upper Midwest and to the followers of the Green Bay Packers, whose story is woven between the chapters. Flashbacks is a story which will inspire multitudes, and draws upon all these disparate elements of storytelling.
