Editorial Reviews

Review

What attracts people to cults? Why does a disproportionate number of young Jewish adults find a sense of belonging in cults? A Jewish Response To Cults is a sensitive and detailed program guide which distinguishes cults from mainstream religions and explains recruitment techniques, and explores the reasons why people (especially Jews) join cults. Special sections are devoted to Messianism and the Jewish position regarding Jesus showing readers how to respond to missionaries and cult recruiters. A Jewish Response To Cults is designed for use by highschool students, but is easily adaptable for any use by any age group. A Jewish Response To Cults provides indispensable information on how the reader can resist the seductions of a cult movement and/or help someone who's joined a cult. Highly recommended. -- Midwest Book Review
