assalamualaikum.
finally, i finished reading this book.
i bought it on February, but start reading it until recently.
as i said before, im not good in reviewing.
so here i am, writing the summary of the book which u can get it at the back of the book itself.
NOT WITHOUT MY SISTERS
by Kristina, Celeste and Juliana
Kristina, Celeste and Juliana (the authors) were all born into a cult - The Children of God to the same father, Christopher Jones, who remains a member of the organisation. Kristina and Celeste share the same mother. The three girls were separated from each other and their mother at an early age and have lived in various missions throughout the world, often under 'care' of foster parents. Only recently have the three sisters been reunited.
But their experiences were a world away from the traditional Christian understanding of 'love' and 'forgiveness'. The organisation that was entrusted with their care practised physical and mental torture, thought control, pornography, prostitution and horrific acts of sexual abuse.
They were denied access to formal schooling, forced to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for 'crimes' as unpredictable as reading an encyclopedia. Here, all three sisters, who suffered the worst forms of abuse, and were torn apart from each other, have finally been reunited. In this book, they relive their experiences of how they survived-and then escaped-a cult that has claimed the lives and innocence of thousands of its members.
you guys also can search for further information regarding the book, the authors or the organisation.
