This chilling and disquieting account should be read by anyone who has left a cult or knows of someone in a cult, as well as their families and loved ones.” —as seen in The New York Times Book Review “A page-turning glimpse into the lifestyle of a Jehovah’s Witness. In sharing his memoir, Clark seeks catharsis and closure. Clark’s portrayal of the life of a Jehovah’s Witness is grounded in a lifelong experience with this often-mysterious faith; anyone who has received a Witness at their door will find Clark’s perspective intriguing. The story is engrossing, and the writing solid. One man’s successful return from a spiritual hell.” -- Kirkus Discoveries “Sure to be controversial and shocking. Clark’s account of his personal experiences with Jehovah’s Witnesses is unnerving and oftentimes shattering. It’s an important book that will be sure to stir a lot of discussion.” -- Janette Owens, Author of Man With a Vengeance “Brilliantly written, the author’s experience with the Watchtower Society is both raw and riveting. Highly recommended.” -- Vivekanand Palavali, M.D., author of A Mindful Life “An important book for all those involved with cults, their members and the families whose lives they touch. Clark shows the strength and fortitude it takes to go against the current when it would be much easier to go with the flow.” -- Wanda Campbell, author of First Sunday in October “Too little information about cults has made its way into public awareness. From the perspective of one who has lived in a cult, this book sheds light on the issues and helps dispel prejudices.” -- Amber Ellis, author of Alta Fay’s Allegiance “This book is a moving account of one man’s journey toward freedom from religious repression” -- Maurice Borrows, author of Freedom After Life “A book that will be the guiding light for those who are looking for a way out from religious cults.” -- Rob McConnell, Host of the Internationally Syndicated Radio Show, The ‘X’ Zone www.LifeAfterReligion.com
