An insiders true story

I found this book astounding. Born into a cult (run by her father) she herself was taken in by his incredible claims of being God`s end time prophet. Slowly however the truth began to dawn as she witnessed increasing mind control amongst the members and a massive trend towards complete immorality. Marriages were purposely broken up in order to keep individuals dependant on the leadership (a healthy marriage is a stronghold against these incursions). Homosexualiy and child sex was also encouraged. However, the most disturbing fact to emerge was the "chanelling" or contact with spirits (demons) These demons would control every aspect of the members life. An amazing story of one womans pilgrimage out of extreme darkness and into the light.

Informative Expose on the Children of God

I read this book for a course on American Cults, and found it very informative. The author speaks solely from her own experiences, and gives good advice for dealing with and helping people in cults. At times, I think she includes too much of her own opinion, but then I realize that one of the purposes for the book is to share how she dealt with cult life and post-cult life. I hope her experiences have helped others deal with and overcome similar situations.
