4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book! Thorough Work!, July 24, 2003
By Mariangela Buch (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Recommended for the student of Religious Studies. This book is informative and covers a vast amount of information on the so-called alternative religions in America today. The chapters are short, yet well-written and to the point. This is a good resource book to keep on hand for your personal library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Facts About Alternative Faiths. I Highly Recommend This Book, June 10, 2004
This book is got to be THEE most helpful and insightful book on all alternative faith groups in America that I have ever read. It simply presents that FACTS and how nice it is to be free of extremist fundamental Protestant propaganda. The people who help create this book believe in calling non-dangerous faith faiths "Alternative Religions" instead of phrase, CULT", that is so overly and carelessly used by the extremist right wing. Speaking of which, he also covers a very inlightening chapter of the ACM, a network of radical fundamental Protestants who tag all NON-Evangelical Protestants "CULT!" In so doing, he explaines how while tagging other faiths "Cult", they themselves have come under attack for being radical and very-cult-like.
