Most of us have at least a basic understanding of religion and may call ourselves Christians, perhaps even attending Church. Many will regard the values taught by Christian Churches as being of benefit to all, especially the youth in our community. What happens though when a religion goes wrong and becomes a destructive cult? How much damage can it do to believers? How are the lives of innocent people wrecked? Why do people become entrapped by cults in the first place? What nightmarish things sometimes go on behind the closed doors of a religious cult? Would you even recognize a cult if you found one? All these vitally important questions are answered in From Fear to Freedom and many typical characteristics of destructive religious cults are explained in clear yet simple detail. If you are trying to put your life back together after getting out of a cult, then this self-help book for religious cult survivors can help - how? Because it's written by a cult survivor who spent 31 years in Herbert Armstrong's powerful, destructive and so called Christian cult, The Worldwide Church of God. This easy to read title will also help if you are assisting a friend or family member to put a wrecked life back together after they have left a cult. It points the way forward for cult survivors and leaves the reader with a strong belief in hope, recovery and above all, freedom.

A musical journey through philosophy and an early autobiography of recent events.

COVID-19 has brought about a rupture in the trajectory of our societies, presenting the world with an unprecedented crisis, but also providing a point of reflection and an opening to imagine and articulate alternative futures. "Infectious Futures: Reflections, Visions, and Worlds Through and Beyond COVID-19" brings together 28 essays, articles, and conversations from leading scholars and thinkers from around the world, who explore the existential questions that COVID-19 confronts us with, and who analyse and imagine how we may navigate this crisis to create preferred futures. This book challenges many of the core assumptions of our era and invites us to see this moment as peculiar and transitory-and ripe with the potential for change. Amid the loss and grief is the possibility for renewal, as new visions emerge and lead to experiments and new pathways.
