5.0 out of 5 stars Best bbok to help cult members with., March 2, 2000

This review is from: Crazy for God (Hardcover)

As an ex-cult member, I have to say that this book by Christopher Edwards was instrumental in helping me to leave the group I was with. Though we were not moonies (we were oneness pentecostals, United Pentecostals) there were enough similarities in the thought control process between the two groups that it shook me up and started me thinking about what I was involved with. A great book, a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent first person account of this crazy cult., April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Crazy for God (Hardcover)

Christopher Edwards gives an excellent, riveting story of his experience in the Unification Church and how he got lured into this cult and how his whole life was controlled by the Moonies. It also shows how he eventually was deprogrammed from them. A must read for ex members of any dangerous religious group, parents of current members, and even current members themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definative look at Cult Recruiting and Practices, April 17, 2000

By 

BERNICE MCCALL (Salt Lake City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crazy for God (Hardcover)

The book is over twenty years old.However,the material is ageless. As long as there are radical cults in this world, there will be a need for a book like this. The book takes you through the initial idealism of joining a radical group to the subsequent dissolutionment that follows when one realizes how he/she could have been involved in such a group. I challenge you not to feel that dissolution at the end of the book.
