Leaving the Fold: A Guide for Former Fundamentalists and Others Leaving Their Religion

This one is not for everyone. Indeed, the last half or so of the book suggests methods and strategies that don't appeal to me in the least - some of it seemed akin to self-hypnosis.

That said, the early part of the book was quite good, identifying the structures and methods of fundamentalism. So, if you're interested in how fundamentalist religion does what it does, or mildly interested in behavioral analysis, I'd suggest reading the first half of the book up through the part where the suggested healing methods begins.

3 bones!!!

Although I am a religious person who had some psychological trouble when I left the fold, I found this book rather unhelpful. It's somewhat trite and superficial in terms of its approach, which works for some, but isn't my cup of tea.
