Download or read book Life in The Family written by James D. Chancellor and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a unique insider's perspective—including interviews with more than seven-hundred family members—James Chancellor charts The Family's course since its emergence as the most controversial group to grow out of the Jesus People Movement in the 1960s. Chancellor, who had extraordinary access to rare Family records, includes the experiences of members who have remained loyal to the community and to the founding vision of their prophet, David Brandt Berg. In the first book of its kind—comprising often painful personal histories and firsthand accounts—Chancellor focuses on the motivation and process of becoming a Child of God, the core beliefs of the community, the mission of the disciples, their shifting sexual mores, and the cost of membership in terms of internal discipline and external persecution. Intense confrontation with the legal, religious, political, and educational establishment marked the movement's activities from the beginning. The young disciples heeded the call of their prophet to flee a soon-to-be-destroyed North America. Dispersed throughout Europe, Latin America, Africa, and East Asia, they virtually disappeared from the American landscape. In the late 1980s, The Family had gone through extreme theological and lifestyle changes, including a radical reordering of their sexual ethos. The Children of God started to come home. Now a worldwide counterculture of some twelve thousand members, the movement's colorful history reveals a profoundly religious group that has tested the limits of human experience.
Download or read book The Book of Letters written by J Mutter and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Book of Letters' is an exciting new approach to examining the letters of the alphabet used for English, showing the reader that there are 'sounds' built into many letters that have been inherent for hundreds of years. There has been a lack of information regarding how to say words from text, and why we say words the way we do. The word example for example, has a sound between the consonants in the second syllable. Where does it come from? How do we say this word the way a native speaker would do? 'The Book of Letters' examines this, provides the answers and offers students of the language a method of learning to say them in an understandable way. It is different to any previously published available work in that it uses traditional sound representation combined with a simpler and more understandable system, to show sounds that have hitherto been ignored or at best poorly represented. The novelty here is that it approaches an academic subject, in a light-hearted readable style. The book covers every aspect of alphabet letters as written for English to include their history, shape, varieties, sounds, uses, and the consequence of joining one letter with another.

Download or read book Sex Cult Nun written by Faith Jones and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2021 by Newsweek and a Most Anticipated by People, TIME, USA Today, Real Simple, Glamour, Nylon, Bustle, Purewow, Shondaland, and more! Educated meets The Vow in this story of liberation and self-empowerment—an inspiring and stranger-than-fiction memoir of growing up in and breaking free from the Children of God, an oppressive, extremist religious cult. Faith Jones was raised to be part a religious army preparing for the End Times. Growing up on an isolated farm in Macau, she prayed for hours every day and read letters of prophecy written by her grandfather, the founder of the Children of God. Tens of thousands of members strong, the cult followers looked to Faith’s grandfather as their guiding light. As such, Faith was celebrated as special and then punished doubly to remind her that she was not. Over decades, the Children of God grew into an international organization that became notorious for its alarming sex practices and allegations of abuse and exploitation. But with indomitable grit, Faith survived, creating a world of her own—pilfering books and teaching herself high school curriculum. Finally, at age twenty-three, thirsting for knowledge and freedom, she broke away, leaving behind everything she knew to forge her own path in America. A complicated family story mixed with a hauntingly intimate coming-of-age narrative, Faith Jones’ extraordinary memoir reflects our societal norms of oppression and abuse while providing a unique lens to explore spiritual manipulation and our rights in our bodies. Honest, eye-opening, uplifting, and intensely affecting, Sex Cult Nun brings to life a hidden world that’s hypnotically alien yet unexpectedly relatable.

Download or read book The Mutual Admiration Society written by Mo Moulton and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group biography of renowned crime novelist Dorothy L. Sayers and the Oxford women who stood at the vanguard of equal rights Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known during her life for an essay asking "Are Women Human?" Women's rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers's lifetime; she and her friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from Oxford. Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human. Dubbing themselves the Mutual Admiration Society, Sayers and her classmates remained lifelong friends and collaborators as they fought for a truly democratic culture that acknowledged their equal humanity. A celebration of feminism and female friendship, The Mutual Admiration Society offers crucial insight into Dorothy L. Sayers and her world.
