4.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for those considering a communal life, December 27, 2001

By 

Jennifer B. Marsh (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Free From Bondage (Paperback)

In this day and age it is difficult to believe that there are still controlling organizations such as the Bruderhof who use religion and faith to mislead people into joining their ranks. I would highly recommend reading this book if you are fed up with today's society and thinking of joining the Bruderhof or another similar group. The people leading these groups are the opposite of everything they claim to be, to put it simply they are hypocrites. You will never get the true story of what it is like living in a commune until you read this book. I highly recommend it, it is a very moving and emotional story.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good critique of the Bruderhuf, not well-written, October 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Free From Bondage (Paperback)

This book was written by a normal woman who got fed up with the Bruderhuf's lies and duplicity. As a result, it doesn't come across as very well-written, but is very useful for debunking claims that the Bruderhuf is just.

1.0 out of 5 stars A boring acount based on Memories only and not facts, March 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Free From Bondage (Paperback)

One can see from the Sales Rank that this book is not worth the paper it is printed on. Speaking to others who have experienced the same time as Nadine writes about once gets a completely different story. I feel sorry for every reader who purchased this book. There are better books available on the Bruderhof
