Więcej o książce

Named a Best Book of 2021 by various outlets, this inspiring memoir recounts the journey of liberation and self-empowerment from the oppressive Children of God cult. Raised on a secluded farm in Macau, Faith Jones was groomed to be part of a religious army anticipating the End Times. Her upbringing involved hours of prayer and reading prophecies from her grandfather, the cult's founder, who was revered by tens of thousands of followers. Despite being celebrated as special, Faith faced harsh punishments that reminded her of her subordinate status. Over the years, the cult gained notoriety for its alarming practices and allegations of abuse. Yet, with remarkable resilience, Faith survived by secretly educating herself and creating her own world through stolen books. At twenty-three, driven by a thirst for knowledge and freedom, she left everything behind to forge a new life in America. Blending a complex family narrative with a deeply personal coming-of-age story, the memoir sheds light on societal norms of oppression and the intricacies of spiritual manipulation. Honest and eye-opening, it reveals a hidden world that is both alien and surprisingly relatable, making it a hauntingly intimate read.
