Do Not Boast About Tomorrow is probably the most bizarre book that I’ve ever read. The overtone of the book is in-your-face Christianity. Every page has bolded scripture which screams at the reader. The theme of the book is the tests of God, with the presumption that failing of these tests means eternal damnation. No loving, caring God is depicted here.
The really bizarre part though comes with the actual story. It is the story of a minister’s wife and her trials through rape. Her husband leaves on a business trip. She is attacked, raped, and left for dead. Her son is sodomized. Just in time, the wife manages to subdue the intruder before he attacks a second child. Does she call the police? No. Does she kill the bastard for what he done? No. She ties him up in the basement, burns him with an iron, makes him a sandwich, converts him, and after he asks her to she castrates him. The rapist, of course, finds God and becomes a minister. No charges are laid and God is called upon to heal the poor sodomized boy as the wife and husband revel in their conversion skills.
