Description: When The World in Flames begins, in 1970, Jerry Walker is six years old. His consciousness revolves around being a member of a church whose beliefs he finds not only confusing but terrifying. Composed of a hodgepodge of requirements and restrictions, the underpinning tenet of Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God was its members were divinely chosen and all others would soon perish in rivers of flames.
