Summary of Rod Dreher's Live Not by Lies

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 A priest named Tomislav Poglajen fled Croatia in 1943 and settled in Czechoslovakia. He knew how the Soviets thought, and he warned the Slovak Catholics that when the war ended, Czechoslovakia would fall to a Soviet puppet government. #2 Father Kolaković knew that the passivity and clericalism of traditional Slovak Catholicism would not be able to withstand communism. He taught his followers that every person must be accountable to God for his actions, and that freedom is responsibility. #3 The Czech priest, who was exiled by the communist regime in 1946, was the country’s spiritual father. His top two lieutenants, physician Silvester Krčméry and priest Vladimír Jukl, quietly set up Christian circles around the country and began to build the underground church. #4 Kolaković’s warning about the threat of Soviet communism was not supernatural, but rather the result of extensive study of Soviet communism and its methods. Today, we are seeing the return of left-winged campus kookiness, but this time it is being brought to the entire country.
