Customer Reviews

developmental process

Having struggled through leaving my birth church years ago and discovering spiritual diversity and freedom, I congradulate Bonnie Joia in her shared memoir of the struggle and pain necessary in discovering her spiritual freedom and her courage in staying true to her inner guidance. A must read for anyone seeking greater truth in a bad marriage or limiting church.

Traps of religious indoctrination

This book is a remarkable exploration of the consequences of how religious and cultural indoctrination makes women subservient to male domination. Such demeaning of the female, so prevalent in our society, is explored in intimate detail in this courageous memoir of a devout Mormon woman. Reading the book brought awareness of traps in my own life where I have been an unknowing victim. It was an astounding revelation of how we become entangled in unwanted circumstances, and how fearlessly seeking truth allows us to thrive. -Deon Kane
