    About this ebook

    Kill the dove! is a tale of the revolutionary 1960’s. It stands alone—no one has written a novel that covers these religious, political, imprisoned and sexual experiences. It follows the love, betrayals, failures and triumphs of three radical anti-war and feminist activists: Jared, Aaren and Char. They share Jared’s experiences in federal prison as the impact of the Vietnam war, sexual violence, racism, sexism and the failure of traditional moral and spiritual value systems play out in their lives. It is a semi-autobiographical narrative inspired by the author’s personal experiences of the monastery, trial, prison and personal revolution.

    The Sixties. Anti-war. Religious zealotry. Free Sex. Gays and lesbians. Prison. Sex and violence. Experience the love story of Jared, Aaren and Char. Kill the dove! combines drama, action, and romance. Kill the dove! goes beyond my personal memoir—“Outlaw or American Patriot?”—and the play “Peace Crimes: The Minnesota 8 vs. the war” to present an epic tale of the Sixties.

Kroncke, federal inmate 8867-147, is a seeker whose has journeyed through the monastic life, the theological academy, federal courtrooms, a federal prison cell, and the byways of corporate America.

In his published essays and websites he has focused on the ancient call which is heard most distinctively in the institutions and through the experiences of the dark side of the biblically based Western and American cultures. The article, “An Outlaw’s Theology,” was published in the journal "Cross Currents" (June 2011). A companion piece, “A vision of coupled presence,” in the journal "Theology and Sexuality" (2011) www.outlaw-visions.net;www.earthfolk.net; www.minnesota8.net; www.pwh-mn.org
