“I Can’t Hear God Anymore!” is an extremely well-written, sensitive and insightful accounting of the author’s experience in an abusive religious group. Her revealing chapter on the doctrinal underpinnings that were used to justify such spiritual and psychological abuse will be helpful to former members of other religious groups. Her courageous journey through understanding thought reform techniques and the recovery process serves as an encouragement to ex-members who are struggling to get their identity and life back. I highly recommend this book to recovering former cult members and their families.
