2018: Looking Forward to Helping People to Help Themselves and Others

Combating Cult Mind Control

For over forty years, I have endeavored to help people understand my own cult experience- being recruited into a front group of the Moonies in 1974 while a student at Queens College in New York.  This year, on November 18th, 2018, my book Combating Cult Mind Control will be 30 years old.  That hardback volume was originally published with the British spelling, Combatting, and featured a bald-headed man with a padlock and chain around his bald head.  I fought with my then publisher and told him the cover was a total turn off for all current and former members of destructive cults- and I was right.  When we released the paperback in 1990, we made the cover just words, and it took off and became a best-seller, and was published in many languages including German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Czech, and others.  I bought the rights back to my book from the publisher in 2014 and published the new volume with significant updates in 2015 and 2016 and published it as an e-book, as well.  I plan to produce an audiobook in the first few months of 2018.
