...attack by North Koreans alone . . . We are pretending that the attack of the Chinese Communists is an isolated act whereas we know that it is with the consent and direction of Russia. We have turned the other cheek twice and I believe in a limited application of the Sermon on the Mount. But I also believe in the American slogan, three strikes...
Fists & Gasps. Visitor Fradier divides U.S. religion into the "hots" and the "lukewarms." The "lukewarm" services, he says, consist of "hymns sung to military marches composed by fierce Scots," or, for contrast, bucolic Bavarian waltzes. The form of the sermon, he says, never varies.

...have dreamed of writing a sequel to it." What Would Jesus Do? is Author Clark's dream come true-a dedicated, step-by-step retracing of Author Sheldon's bestseller in terms of the post-World War II U.S. Like its predecessor, it is a composite sermon preached by its cast of characters, many of whom are the children or grandchildren of the characters in In His Steps. Urged by their minister (grandson of Author Sheldon's minister) to emulate Christ, they react to the atomic age much as their grandparents reacted to the times of Grover...
