Insight into Cults

I wanted to know what would prompt someone to do this hideous crime. It is appauling what people do in the name of religion to the point of murder. This is a hard to read book in the fact of it being true and not fiction. The truth is stranger than fiction is so true, especially in this instance. It is hard to understand the minds of men and women sometimes. This book is a good indication of that.

You Go Girl!!

Thank You Rena for exposing the truth of these sick demented freaks. Thank You for your courage to escape and may God Bless you and your future as a Christian woman in Gods grace.

Touching story

Touching story., August 28, 2007 By ErinTickle I found this book to be very informative and touching. The author was willing to talk about very painful things from her past with the hope that doing so would help others trapped in a mind controlling cult. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to have grown up in a more "normal" environment might learn to look with more compassion on those who are living -or have lived- in situations where they had no rights or say in their own lives. I think it took a lot of courage for her to write this book.

Teen plural bride of notorious group speaks out...

This excellent book was written by Rena Chynoweth , the last and youngest of Ervil Lebaron's 13 wives.The Chynoweths were one of the core families to follow Ervil LeBaron. Rena and her older sister Lorna were married to him and bore him 10 children between them. 3 of her Brothers ranked high in the church and her Parents were both dedicated followers.There have been a few books about the LeBarons and Ervil's group-The Church of the Lamb of God, but no other insider has written a book except Rena.She takes you through her family's entire story with the group from the early 60s to 1989. And she has one amazing story to tell.In other books about the group Rena has been much maligned , but I thought she came off as heartfelt, honest and sincere.I felt she took responsibilty for her actions in shooting Dr. Allred , although I agree with her that she was under mind control to some degree at the time and is not entirely responsible for her actions.Rena and her family paid a very heavy price for their involvment in the group-2 of her Brothers, her niece and her Sister ended up murdered in the 80's by some of Ervil's children for breaking away for the group or I guess in Lorna's case, fearing she was about to. They also lost other family and friends to murder due to their involvment with the group.. This is as close to the inside workings and events in the group as anyone on the outside could ever hope to get or know. If you want to learn about Ervil LeBaron and his group,I recommend starting with this book first.
