CULTS: HOW THEY WORK(2008)

In this perceptive examination into the inner workings of cults, Robin Jackson exposes the identifying marks and intriguing techniques cults use to win over members. Jackson uncovers the characters and beliefs of some of these groups that can very often inflict grievous harm on society.

In a world that is becoming increasingly secular and disillusioned with mainstream religions, cults seem to be flourishing. If mainstream religions fail to satisfy people’s needs for a spiritual aspect to their lives, the cults are there to lap them up. They promise a guaranteed way to salvation or a community of like-minded individuals. According to them everybody else misses the mark. At least, that is what they claim.

Cults: How They Work presents a hard hitting, yet witty look into the sometimes secretive inner workings of the cults. But be warned. This book contains information cults do not want you to acquire.

So, you think you are immune to cult recruitment? Think again!

LOSING THE FAITH (2006)

South African author, Robin Jackson, has written a heart wrenching, yet inspiring account about his battle to come to terms with the conflicting teachings, deception, and cover-ups of the religious cult he became a member of at the tender age of 13.

The story begins with the author transporting the reader back to his childhood days and early life influences. It chronicles Robin Jackson’s subsequent journey through the cult he was led to believe is “God’s sole collective channel for the flow of Biblical truth to men”.

Jackson’s story will take you through the highs and lows, joys and tragedies, and to the depths of despair which eventually leads to his exit from the organization known as Jehovah’s Witnesses. This book will inspire anyone who is contemplating an exit from a destructive mind control cult.

Losing The Faith: Truth under Scrutiny is a powerful and touching account of a man’s journey to freedom from repression and religious intolerance.

   hi Robin
   just heard you talking on 702 and came to see your website. I was disfellowshipped when I was 21 (20 yrs ago) and have obviously also gone through lots of emotional turmoil since then. I am definitely going to get your book Losing the Faith – it may put some of my demons to rest.
   Thumbs up to you for speaking out about it all….
