Life in the Family

An Oral History of the Children of God (New Religion Movements)

  • 1 Want to read

"From a unique insider's perspective - including interviews with more than seven hundred family members - James D. Chancellor charts The Family's course since its emergence as the most controversial group to grow out of the Jesus People Movement in the 1960s.".

"The young disciples heeded the call of their prophet to flee a soon-to-be-destroyed North America. Dispersed throughout Europe, Latin America, Africa, and East Asia, they virtually disappeared from the American landscape. In the late 1980s, The Family had gone through extreme theological and lifestyle changes, including a radical reordering of their sexual ethos. The Children started to come home.

Now a worldwide counterculture of some twelve thousand members, the movement's colorful history reveals a profoundly religious group that has tested the limits of the human experience."--BOOK JACKET.
