BOOK PREVIEW
Betrayal of the Spirit Series
This volume is a collection of the author's academic articles.
This series takes you into the controversial world of mysterious religious sects like the Hare Krishnas. The author is a former Hare Krishna member from 1978-1988. Her memoir, Betrayal of the Spirit, became a best selling book on Amazon.com, and ex-ISKCON members accepted it as a mind-opening narrative of that era. It takes the reader inside the group during the tumultuous decade following the death of the founder.
In 1996, Publisher's Weekly called it, "An important testimony that might be instructive to those involved in the leadership of any religious movement."
Her essays offer further insight into questions about systemic group dysfunction. This volume includes essays reprinted from academic journals and anthologies; and two new, previously unpublished essays.
