Of all the cult and fundie memoirs I've been reading and listening to recently, this one is unique because half of it is about her experience in the U.S. Army after leaving the fucked up cult she grew up in. Her insights about programming, group think, propaganda, and us vs. them mentality are interesting, but the biggest similarity she drew between CoG and the Army is the way men control and manipulate women. I found this to be a super interesting and unique perspective on group organization. Overall, a very good cult memoir, but I would warn that the child abuse, pedophilia, and sexual abuse is especially bad in this book even for a cult memoir. Children of God is a particularly heinous cult when it comes to child abuse and pedophilia. Look up Ricky Rodriguez for a horrifying example.
