brookey8888's review against another edition

This is absolutely nothing against the book, in fact I found it really interesting. That being said this is so graphic and disturbing reading about graphic details of childhood sexual abuse that I just can’t stomach it at this point in time. Maybe I’ll pick this up again in the future.

challenging dark reflective

4.0

This is difficult to rate as it was very tough to read (or listen to - I listened to the audiobook) the awful practices of The Children of God cult. But that said, the book was well written and provided a very thorough look at Faith's personal experience.

kateyoutka's review

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

A deeply troubling assessment of one woman's experience in the Children of God, a cult known for troubling sex practices (among a myriad of other issues). This isn't so much a book *about* the cult as it is a memoir about one person's experience within said cult. I wish the history of the cult had been given throughout the book, rather than a rushed introduction -- I listened to the audiobook of this so it was impossible for me to flip back to the history section and cross-check anything I was confused about. 

That said, I feel for the author and her experiences and hope she is healing.

This book has graphic descriptions of sexual acts involving minors. It’s not for the faint hearted.
