What Could Have Happened

The eighteenth novel, What Could Have Happened, continues to deal with the saga of a Christian Ministry trying to help people with a variety of personal issues, particularly dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender confusion. The grandson of the founder of the ministry, Ted Gordon, took it upon himself to interview the previous directors to see how they could have made different choices for themselves and the ministry. Many of the directors had previously struggled with their own addictions and compulsions before encountering a religious experience which helped them choose a more normal course of living. Once they became a part of the ministry, they were harassed, injured, and even killed by militant groups that opposed their mission of helping others. In all cases, they had to admit they could have made better choices while they were previously in rebellion against the commandments of God. Ted learned things about them that he had never known because he was younger than they were. At the end of the project, he could write a history of the ministry and have it published. The readers might be shocked at what they would learn about the trials of trying to help the lost, confused, and addicted.
