Who cares about Undertow?
“A magnificently written life story that sheds light on the enticing ways of cult recruitment and indoctrination … more gripping than a mystery. Undertow will sweep you away.”
—Janja Lalich, PhD., Professor Emerita of Sociology at California State University, Chico. Author of Bounded Choice: True Believers and Charismatic Cults
“This thoughtful, beautifully-written memoir is a window into the gradual but compelling pull cults have on unsuspecting and well-meaning people of faith … [It] is an honest and affecting look at the way evangelical movements perceive their world and their duty in it … [as] “us vs. world.”
—Todd French, PhD., Assistant Professor of Religion at Rollins College
“How could a smart woman join a cult that asked of her everything, and took her all in the process? … you’ll find yourself wanting to reach into the pages to pull the author out of harm’s way. … There is something in this book for anyone who has ever wholeheartedly embraced a questionable theology.”
—Susan Campbell, author of Dating Jesus: A Story of Fundamentalism, Feminism, and the American Girl
“This well-written exposé of life in a Christian fundamentalist cult reads like a novel and portrays, in lucid detail, how the author was seduced into joining the cult. Through her vivid prose, she helps us understand how she lived with the founder’s fantasies for seventeen years of her life. The story of how she got out is as illuminating as how she got in. It is a must read.”
—Rita Bornstein, PhD, President Emerita of Rollins College, author of Legitimacy in the Academic Presidency: From Entrance to Exit
“Charlene Edge writes with clarity and sensitivity. This memoir on her experiences in The Way International will help readers understand the subtleties and complexities of cultic groups.”
—Michael D. Langone, Ph.D., Executive Director of the International Cultic Studies Association
