"Despite current academic claims that the establishment of the Reformation cannot have resulted from lay religious understanding, this study offers evidence that theological ideas did reach beyond religious elites to promote various popular responses to the Reformation."--Jacket

It is July of 1984 & two young homosexual men are walking across a small tidal bridge in Bangor, Maine. Suddenly three teenagers stop their car, jump out & assault them. One of the victims, Charlie Howard, trying to flee, trips on a curb & falls. The trio is upon him & begins to kick & punch him. They throw him over the railing into the stream as a prank. The young man dies. The State Coroner testifies that Howard succumbed to a severe attack of asthma & water ingestion. The three teenagers are sent to the Maine Youth Center in South Portland, Maine for indeterminate sentences. PENITENCE - A TRUE STORY is about the youngest of the trio, fifteen-year-old Jim Baines, who, over a two-year period, turns his life around. Realizing the terrible crime he has committed, he becomes a spokesperson for respect & understanding & toleration towards all people. Taking almost seven years to complete, the author has put the details together using a narrative & dialogue form which reviewers have stated is a powerful book, one "which should be required reading in every Junior High School in America." Now twenty-five & leading a quiet life as a salesman, Jim Baines is a frequent speaker at Junior High Schools where he tells his youthful audiences that they must make "good choices" in life, not "bad ones," & that they have no right to judge another person no matter who or what they are. (Mr. Baines has no financial interests in the book.) To order call 207-942-4665, fax 207-945-4695, or write: Lucy Madden Associates, Publishers, P.O. Box 2335, Bangor, ME 04402-2335.
