The Heart of a Cult - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Set adrift by sudden unemployment, web designer Michelle Thomson is at an impasse in her life when she is introduced to a charismatic spiritual teacher known only as Ma. Though initially skeptical, Michelle is soon captivated by Ma's energy and insight and begins to find new meaning both in Ma's teachings and as a member of her insular community. While at first she blossoms under Ma's guidance, when Michelle uncovers deception at the heart of all she has come to believe in, she is forced to face the ultimate test any spiritual teacher can give.

Written with the intimacy of a private diary, this novel is a precise and realistic portrayal of what motivates a person to become involved with a questionable spiritual teacher. Phoenix articulately details the human struggles and failings that can turn a well-intentioned quest for truth into a nightmarish journey. A fascinating book that's hard to put down, this is a must-read tale for anyone who wants to understand more about the inner dynamics of spiritual groups, why people get involved in cults, and how they can grow and heal from the experience.
