Alexandra Amor, “Cult, A Love Story: Ten Years Inside a Canadian Cult and the Subsequent Long Road of Recovery” – eBook

For fans of Educated, Captive, and Beyond Belief comes the gripping true-life story of one young woman’s accidental journey into a cult. And her escape a decade later.Think you could never join a cult? So did I.It’s rarely obvious when a group is a cult. Most cults don’t advertise themselves as such: they are groups of people who look and act just like you and me. Not dangerous. Not deranged. At least, not at first.The slide toward complete control of your personality, your thoughts, and your life, is slow and virtually unnoticeable. Until it’s too late.In this award-winning memoir, Alexandra Amor shines a light on cults so that others might learn from her heartbreaking experience. Amor gracefully and sensitively explains how ordinary and intelligent people get seduced into joining cults, why they stay despite the emotional and psychological abuse, and what the long process of recovery looks like once someone leaves a cult.Amor’s transparency about her decade-long involvement with a Vancouver, Canada cult makes this powerful and gripping book an excellent resource for those wanting to know more about how the mind control of a high demand spiritual or religious group works.”This excellent memoir reveals how a charismatic, manipulative spirit medium can use love for God and neighbor as a hook to drag a small group of devotees into her cynical web of impossible goals for self-perfection. After a heroic struggle for insight, Alexandra Amor was one of the cult members who broke the abusive spell.”Joseph Szimhart, Cult Information SpecialistIn this page-turning, personal memoir you will learn: – how normal, intelligent people can, without knowing what’s happening, get sucked into a cult’s grip – why it’s so very difficult for those in high demand groups (cults) to leave – how to evaluate whether a group you belong to is a cult – what the recovery period after a cult looks like – resources and recommendations if you know someone in a cult, or if you are in recovery from a cult yourself
