If Alberta is no longer surprised by the jingoism that has become rampant in the evangelical community, he is not in the least reconciled to it. Indeed, he is agonized, and throughout this book he proves himself to be an admirably searching and probing narrator, as well as a valiantly conscientious Christian. He submits even his recently deceased father to moral scrutiny ... Alberta is not just a thorough and responsible reporter but a vibrant writer, capable of rendering a farcical scene in vivid hues.
