Has anyone read Seductive Poison: A Jonestown Survivor's Story of Life and Death in the Peoples Temple by Deborah Layton? Amazon has a feature which I never tried before - it lets you seach the book for certain words. "Truth" and "worldly" both were used and had excerpts shown. I'll probably order it soon and let ya know what I think of it.
book recommendations?

Yes, I've read it - it's fantastic and is exactly what you have described as to what you're looking for. Besty wrote a post about it a while back...

Thanks so much. I'll definitely get a copy now. I was just thinking about this book recently. So much to read....so little time.

Switch, there is a thread here by Jimmie Page that has a lot of book recomendations in it also.
I couldn't link it here, but it's called "Just got my copy of "C of C".
I bumped it up for you.

Hi everyone
I haven't been around for a while, but like popping in every now and then to see if I've missed any new light etc ;)
I read this book not long ago and found it compelling read with many similarities, it's about growing up in the Children of God Sect.
Not Without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed (Hardcover) by Kristina Jones (Author), Celeste Jones (Author), Juliana Buhring (Author)
