Really happy for Jinger and how she’s been able to remove herself from the IBLP cult. It sounds like she’s in a pretty healthy place! I enjoyed listening to her journey of disentangling herself and her faith from the harmful ideologies she was raised to believe.

I do hope she continues to learn and grow in her thoughts and beliefs. Specifically, when she talks about how her family used to go on mission trips to prisons to spread Gothard’s message. Her new perspective on this is that she should have been doing practically the same thing, but spreading Jesus’s teachings instead. Lack of religion is not the problem with prisons and telling prisoners how to “truly be free, with the love of Jesus” is just so frustratingly ignorant of the prison industrial complex and would be so aggravating to hear as someone physically locked in a cage. 

I did fully enjoy listening to this book, even though I don’t agree with everything said and don't believe all the same things Jinger does, but I had to dock the review a star because of the statement “I would be happy to be His [Jesus] slave” I understand what Jinger is trying to say and that she isnt talking about slavery in a historical or even human sense, but still I do not think any White American should be making statements saying they would happily be a slave.
