A rare book, indeed.
What's your normal? Life is a bowl of cherries? Or all will end as Revelations kicks off in your near future? This story of Jerry growing up under difficult circumstances is even more upsetting when he can't even complain because, well, the end is nye. What's the point? Just behave as you're told, let others laugh their way to hell and all will work out for you.
But will it? How do you question the infallible leaders (from afar). Look up Garner Ted Armstrong and realize just how MANY people were fooled, taken, and suffered for their faith. How Jerald ever grew up with a sense of humor and ability to share his experience is a treasure!
