Endorsement
Astrid Staley has done us a great favor, addressing the Watchtower movement from three different perspectives. Firstly, she diligently describes the traits and dynamics of cults and cultish behaviour, carefully detailing how these pervade the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Secondly, to make the personal implications of these beliefs and behaviour ever more impacting, Astrid bares her life as an ‘organic video’ to illustrate a life breaking free into personal freedom in Christ! And finally, Astrid plants her faith firmly in God’s living Word, the Bible, that alone provides Christians with the unfailing foundation from which to critique the mosaic of belief systems that we encounter in our diverse world today. This book will help you bring yourself or your friends into the loving, personal relationship with God, that Jesus Christ lived, died and continues to live to bring you into!
