In McChurched, Stan Moody tells us of the "Thousand Points of Light," a vision that could be bursting from candles of faith flickering from the church for all to see. Moody reflects how little light and how much darkness is being displayed in the influence of this new moralistic wave. Nevertheless, Moody has long believed in a Church in Exile-a community of faithful believers no longer at home in McChurch. Moody calls us to dis-arm-from arms of fear, defense and destruction-to arms of faith. Moody's message is that in every community in today's America there are "A Thousand Tongues of Praise." He offers this for their encouragement. Author Stan Moody of Manchester, Maine, is an ordained Baptist minister with a Ph.D. in Theology. Beginning his career with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maine, Moody has an extensive background as a successful small business entrepreneur. He currently serves the North Manchester Meeting House Church and has been an elected Representative to the Maine House of Representatives. Halfway through his first term in the legislature, Moody revoked his Republican Party membership. Moody is the author of several books, including: No Turning Back: Journal of an All-American Sinner and Crisis in Evangelical Scholarship: A New Look at the Second Coming of Christ and recently co-authored with his now deceased wife, Jo-Ann Moody, I Will Walk Again
