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

3.0

I LURVED the first third or so of this and skimmed over the rest, which probably I could have used more ten years ago. The author totally nails some things about fundamentalist religion that I had recognised but not known how to articulate - or in some cases, that I had articulated but had everyone around me respond as if no-one had ever thought like me before. Lots (a kind of overwhelming amount) of exercises to help the reader sort out their thoughts. I really appreciated the inner child exercises as that's a model of therapy/personal growth that works for me. There's something kind of folksy white America about the style, but I could look past it for the most part.
