Thanks for the kind feedback on my efforts here with my writing! My book is definitely on the "little" side . . . less than 10,000 words combined for the Introduction, five Chapters, and Closing Prayer.

“there is beauty and grit in a profoundly unpopular, faithful-to-Christ, earthly life. It’s a hugely important theme in my book, one that I hope readers have noticed (and I hope I did a good enough job of presenting it!).”

You absolutely did do a good job representing this theme in your book! : )

My greatest concern about much internet “anarchism” is that a lot of it is tied/connected to the Mises Institute and some of the most extreme cases of tribalism I’ve ever witnessed on such a small scale. Volunteers within this anti-system might be inclined to control all aspects of the philosophy in monopolistic ways. I’ve witnessed countless signs of it firsthand. And if that becomes a widespread factor as the philosophy gains momentum, how long before black markets and agorism become corrupted like the federal government and central bank?

If the philosophy is controlled in every direction by the libertarian party and affiliates, Christian anarchism doesn’t stand a chance, unfortunately.

I'm a Mises Institute reader, and I notice when a writer there gets too enamored with the levers of political power.

If black markets and agorism do get taken over by government and government-adjacent actors, then they'll cease to be black markets and agorism. And then I bet new black markets and agorist pursuits would emerge underneath.
