I Fired God: My Life Inside—and Escape from—the Secret World of the Independent Fundamental Baptist Cult by Jocelyn R. Zichterman
5.0
This book sheds light on a widespread cult hiding in plain sight all across the United States.
The author puts herself in a vulnerable position by using her first-hand trauma and recovery to tell the story that many IFB children have lived.
Not only do these first hand accounts expose the cruelty and insanity of the IFB, but the author also does extensive research on how the church came to be, providing context for the madness.
I great read for anyone interested in cults, or how the religious right is rising to power in America. It can be triggering though for survivors of abuse and brainwashing.
