Story
Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith.

In 2012, Mormon General Authority Marlin K. Jensen acknowledged that members are leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "in droves". Access to the internet is often credited and blamed for this mass exodus, where members learn about problematic doctrines and cover-ups of LDS history. Many are happy as Mormons. And many are not. Those who leave, and those doubters who stay face struggles that few others can understand.

Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old.

Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Rinder was instead put to work swabbing the decks. Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission.

As Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us—people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits—all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.

A recovering alcoholic and bulimic, Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place.

Publisher's summary
Your truth does not mean you are part of some kind of anti-Mormon or anti-Orthodox agenda. Being open about your life experiences is not hate speech against a church. You own your story. No one can tell you that your experiences and perceptions and thoughts aren't real. Sometimes our souls are so big and powerful that they cannot be contained by religion. Sometimes our purpose is so far-reaching that no organization can contain us. Sometimes the Godliest thing to do is to be true to ourselves.
Do you ever wonder what decisions will shape your destiny? For Lindsay, one of those decisions was made at the young age of 13, when she converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints—known to the world as "the Mormon church". Over the course of a decade, Lindsay would take a journey into one of the most secretive and powerful religious organizations in the world. A journey that would cause her to lose her true self as she submitted to the controversial teachings, culture, and doctrine of the Mormon church. Little did she know that two people would come into her life and take her on a new journey. A journey back to herself.
This is her story.

In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl’s sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls - resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder - and trapped them in a cycle of shame.

Story
From a challenge of faith to a means of transformation: Did God really say you couldn't eat from any tree in the garden? This seed of doubt planted so long ago bears the fruit of fear on some level every day - the idea that our actions could ruin something beautiful and God might not have control over things. In What Women Fear, acclaimed writer and speaker Angie Smith admits, "Fear is a major part of my testimony," as she talks openly about significant struggles she has experienced. Giving a voice to the problem, she says, "I truly believe every single one of us struggles with some type of fear...."

Story
Most of us know what it's like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But whether we're waiting for physical healing, an emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is it's also inevitable. In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition.

Story
God's love, plans, and promises for you are forever unfolding. I get it, Momma. I totally get it. Every day you wake up and try your very best. You love, give, and pour out your life for the ones who call you Momma. But no matter how much you offer, there are still days you feel as though you come up short. You worry, "Am I loving these babies enough? Is this ever going to get easier? Why does it seem like I am the only one who cannot balance it all?" Sometimes we just need hope (and maybe a long, uninterrupted nap).

Enlightening
My Uncle and Aunt raised their family in the Mormon traditions. They lived in another state and I interacted with them rarely. My children were raised in a Protestant church but they attended a public school that was populated by Mormon children where my daughter was criticized for her lifestyle and choices. My son was handsome, kind and the valedictorian. He never felt any peer pressure. I understand after reading this memoir why each of my children was treated in school by their peers in the manner that occurred. It’s unsettling that even non-Mormon children are affected by the intolerant teachings of this church. I am very grateful Ms Holmes wrote this book.
A thankful mother.

A necessary exploration of religious trauma
Lindsay writes from an educated and personal perspective on the appeal of cults and the subsequent religious abuse and trauma that harms the people who leave them and the people who remain. It is a necessary story for understanding how our need to connect as humans can be exploited for power, control, and status. Her honesty, vulnerability, and succinct writing style make this book difficult to put down or put on pause. She addresses it all from conversion to escape and the difficult journey to healing after being coerced into giving up her power and doubting her own intuition. She touches on marriage and parenthood after losing a whole community and belief system. Most importantly, she leaves the reader with hope and inspiration as she details her new faith structure and moral compass which begins and ends within herself.

Breath taking…a must listen!
This is an amazing story. A true story. The author, Lindsay Helm, has this ability in her writing to pull the reader/listener into the story with such intent and honesty. She makes you FEEL her story but at the same time it is so relatable on many different levels. It’s not only a story of the author’s experience in an organized religion but she really dives deep in how we all struggle with being our authentic selfs and important it is to have boundaries.

You’ll want a hard copy to highlight after this!
Lindsay’s zest for life and care for humanity are both very apparent throughout the pages of VIXEN. I felt so seen as she took me on her journey of self-discovery. I never wanted to label my own experience in “Mormonism” as traumatic because I had an amazing childhood, but I had several “aha” moments leading me to see things for what they are. I feel inspired to work on my healing and growth, so thank you Lindsay for having the courage to share your story!
