Hardback. Zustand: Fair. This book is the story of how three brilliant scholars and one ambitious freshman crossed paths in the early sixties at a Harvard-sponsored psychedelic-drug research project, transforming their lives and American culture and launching the mind/body/spirit movement that inspired the explosion of yoga classes, organic produce, and alternative medicine.The four men came together in a time of upheaval and experimentation, and their exploration of an expanded consciousness set the stage for the social, spiritual, sexual, and psychological revolution of the 1960s. Timothy Leary would be the rebellious trickster, the premier proponent of the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD, advising a generation to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Richard Alpert would be the seeker, traveling to India and returning to America as Ram Dass, reborn as a spiritual leader with his Be Here Now mantra, inspiring a restless army of spiritual pilgrims. Huston Smith would be the teacher, practicing every world religion, introducing the Dalai Lama to the West, and educating generations of Americans to adopt a more tolerant, inclusive attitude toward other cultures' beliefs. And young Andrew Weil would be the healer, becoming the undisputed leader of alternative medicine, devoting his life to the holistic reformation of the American health care system.It was meant to be a time of joy, of peace, and of love, but behind the scenes lurked backstabbing, jealousy, and outright betrayal. In spite of their personal conflicts, the members of the Harvard Psychedelic Club would forever change the way Americans view religion and practice medicine, and the very way we look at body and soul.--Boston Globe.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A true crime story of faith, sex, and revenge, Jesus Freaks takes readers inside the Children of God, one of America's most notorious religious cults, and follows the heir who came back to destroy it. In January 2005, Ricky Rodriguez, raised from birth as the "Prophet Prince" of the Children of God, killed a woman who had helped raise him. Hours later, he took his own life. Don Lattin covered the "God beat" for the San Francisco Chronicle for more than 25 years. Drawing on interviews with former members, survivors, and family insiders, and on the prophet's secret "Mo Letters," he traces the road to that tragedy. Readers will discover: How David "Moses" Berg, a failed evangelist, turned 1960s Jesus freaks and hippie runaways into a worldwide movement later known as The Family International The truth behind "flirty fishing," the group's free-love doctrine, and the sexual abuse of children inside its communes Ricky's upbringing as "Davidito," the boy groomed to lead the Endtime alongside his mother and Berg's successor, Karen Zerby The lost generation of more than 13,000 children born into The Family, and their fight to heal and rebuild their lives after leaving What fringe sects reveal about fundamentalism, religious extremism, and spiritual abuse in the modern world Jesus Freaks is essential reading for true crime fans, cult survivors, and anyone fascinated by the dark side of American religion. Lattin shows that the Children of God was not an isolated sideshow. The group grew directly out of American evangelicalism, and it exposes how charismatic leaders exploit faith, and how abuse passes from one generation to the next. Part investigative journalism and part family tragedy, this gripping, meticulously researched narrative gives a voice to the children a movement tried to silence. Readers of Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven and Not Without My Sister by Celeste Jones, Kristina Jones, and Juliana Buhring will find Jesus Freaks a riveting and unforgettable companion.…
