“I call Rev. Jake Dell the ‘Lion of the Reconquista’ because he is the most bold and fearless mainline clergyman I've encountered. His story presents an alternative to the so-called martyr tale of Machen. After being sidelined by the institution, rather than splitting off, he found a way to remain in the mainlines without compromising his message.” — Redeemed Zoomer (Richard Ackerman)

"The harrowing story of one orthodox priest's twenty-year ordeal at the hands of revisionist bishops — the dark ecclesiastical back-alleys they inhabit, and how they nearly destroyed the life and ministry of a faithful man." — David W. Virtue, DD, VirtueOnline

"Jake Dell has written an incisive and penetrating insider's look at the institutional betrayal and decay of the American Protestant mainline (and the Roman Catholic Church). He provides a vision of hope and restoration for those seeking renewal of our historic churches." — @PresbyInn

"Often God will wound a man He intends to use… and in those wounds He has prepared that man to accomplish things for His kingdom. I commend this book to you as a means of encouragement as well as a challenge — to see how the Lord still calls His people to faithfully proclaim the good news of Christ." — The Rev. J. Dawson Miller, MDiv, Pastor, Sharon Congregational Church, Sharon, CT.

"Jake's account of his journey through the Straits of Organized Religion is both entertaining and deeply perceptive, offering a rare look at the machinery that generates mainline clergy. This one is definitely a page-turner." — Joseph D.

"Mr. Dell has a deep understanding of what he speaks — a personal story of what happened that might help those of us who lived through the mainline church upheaval, and are still bewildered by it." — John P.

"A great story — especially for those of us with real-life denominational church experience." — Peter H.
