This is an accessible account of one woman’s struggles with a Christian group that had clearly lost its moorings and developed cultic tendencies. It seems to have hit the shelves of some major booksellers. It gives mixed messages about Christianity, and the author herself, understandably, has ended up confused.
Sarah’s early life was troubled. As a rebellious teenager she was sent by her parents (who were sure they were doing God’s will) to Tadford Charismatic Church, where she was pressured into marriage and, with other members, lived for many years in almost slavish obedience to its domineering leader.
