Description
Beware! There are 5,000 destructive religious movements waiting to prey on people like you!
At first glance, most of these organizations appear to be reputable and non-threatening. Unfortunately, many people joined these groups only to later learn of their deceptive and mind-controlling tactics. You or a loved one could be next - if you don't know what signs to look for and where to go for help.
Today's Destructive Cults and Movements will show you how to recognize these groups, how they are structured, and how to seek counseling. This thorough, new resource provides timely, reliable information on all of the major destructive religious movements. It also answers these critical questions: Why do people join cults? What can be done about this problem? What characteristics of these groups attract people? What can be done to help people escape the pwerful clutches of these groups?
