Growing Up in An Amish-Jewish Cult

Deliverance: Growing Up in an Amish-Jewish Cult

Rate this book
Book three of the autobiography of the girl who grew up in an Amish-Jewish cult. The author details the struggle and trauma of adjusting to mainstream society. Driven from the only life she knew - hard labor, a gray world without emotions, and unpredictable rules - she is thrust into a terrifying life of bewildering gadgets, "worldly people," and intimidating social relationships.

Patricia offers an intimate view of a soul struggling with the agony of violating a belief system conditioned to follow the life-robbing demands of a deranged "Elder."

This is an inspiring story of how the simplicity of the Gospel, "If thou confess...the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart..." can conquer the capricious rules of a leader who wields the Word of God like a club.
