This book was quite different from what I expected. With a title like "Why does a nice guy like me keep getting thrown in jail?" I had expected to have more stories and reasoning behind actual trips to jail, perhaps with some humors antics to go along with. But this book has little of that save a saddening visit by his family in the Prologue and a couple of inserts like "(I'm writing this in jail and a policeman who's a Christian just came to tell me he agrees with me.)"returnreturnOne noticeable point is that Terry seems to not understand the definition of Anarchy nor Pagan, but I can overlook that for now. The overall message was good and surprising well written considering the source. I first learned of Randal Terry when he ran for the Democratic nomination for president against Barrack Obama in 2012. However his writings in 1993 show that he is incredibly pale-conservative, or at least was. It would be interesting to read a new book after his conversion to Catholicism in 2005. returnreturnI know Randal Terry to be a hard lined pro-lifer, and that's what I was looking for. However, the sub title was the real point of this book, and the most interesting part was the quotes at the beginning of each Chapter from historical Nazi Germany allowing the reader to make his own connection between the way that state treated the Church and the way ours is treating us now. In the bibliography I learned most of these were from J.S. Conway's 1968 book "The Nazi Persecution of the Churches." If you want more that may be the better book to read, but if you want to see what one man's take on the Christian church of the 1990s was like, read this one. Though I hadn't heard of Terry till nearly 20 years after this book was written, many of his suggestions for the future of the Church have already been taken.
