General Description:
Faith Jones was born into a cult. Her grandfather is the creator of the cult. Faith did not know there was much more out there, until she started to grow up and the cult started to falter. You get to grow up with Faith in this book to see how someone stays in a cult and then eventually gets out. How does one cope after leaving a cult? Faith is open and honest in her own journey and she graciously takes us along her very personal story.
All the stars:
- I personally loved the initial history section giving us background. I know that part can be dry to folks and luckily I don't think you need to read the history section to get the story, so it's nice if you want to skip it!
- Faith's voice grows with her and she grows up in the book and I enjoyed seeing that progression.
- This book sparks deeper thoughts around religion and as someone who enjoys self-reflection, I appreciated the thought processes I had based on this book and reflecting on my own relationship with God.
- The pacing was excellent to me, i read it within a 24 hour time period and did not want to put it down.
- this felt like a fictional story and at points I wish it was, but that kept me engaged and led me to want to research the cult further to see what others say about it from a different perspective. This book will stick with me.
Overall, if you're looking to get back into nonfiction, I feel this is a book that could spark your interest back into non-fiction!
