Have you read We Will Not Be Silenced by Dr. Erwin W Lutzer? Chapter 5 is pretty much right on. Almost done with it and half way through Dreher's Live Not by Lies.
Working on "The Lion of Munster" about the Cardinal-Archbishop of that city during WWII. Learning a lot about totalitarian methodology....
Sounds a lot of what Lutzer speaks of in Chapt. 5. I made add yours to my list. It's pretty long, though. Planning on trying to tackle The Mission of God by Dr. Joseph Boot.
