Mr. Inside is a fictional, fast-paced suspense documentary of how one man, through circumstances beyond his control, comes face-to-face with his interior enemy. “Mr. Inside” is a metaphor, pointing to that bitter place in our hearts where we live in fear and anger, holding the sovereign God responsible for life’s unjust events. The novel is evangelical and is targeted toward adult believers who have backslidden close friends or family members that have a degree of hostility about having been brought up in a Christian home.
