Excerpts from the Back Cover
Finding a proper balance between freedom and resposibility is a problem that has faced every serious Christian. For those raised in a highly structured religious environment, balancing loyalties to a religious organization, family, and personal conscience may raise difficult issues. Raymond Franz's first-hand account of the issues with which he struggled forms the theme of his first book, Crisis of Conscience....
In Search of Christian Freedom, the sequel to Crisis of Conscience, provides even more comprehensive study....
The issues and options discussed herein, although relating particularly to the structure of Jehovah's Witnesses, are not so very different from issues other Christians have faced and continue to face when they seek to reconcile considerations fo conscience, loyalty, responsibility and freedom. This work will mover readers -- of any religion -- to consider seriously how much they value Christian freedom and to ask how genuine their own freedom is.

Our Comments:
This work is exhaustive, and explains much of the inner workings of the Jehovah's Witnesses organization at the time Raymond Franz was with the organization. While we do not agree with all of Franz' conclusions, we do highly recommend his books to anyone, whether a non-JW or one associated with the JWs.
