A Guide for Former Fundamentalists and Others Leaving their Religion
This book by psychologist Marlene Winell provides valuable insights into the dangers of religious indoctrination and outlines what therapists and victims can do to reclaim a healthier human spirit…. Both former believers searching for a new beginning and those just starting to subject their faith to the requirements of simple common sense, if not analytical reason, may find valuable assistance in these pages. —Steve Allen, author and entertainer
Leaving the Fold is a unique and invaluable guide to the psychological harm done by Christian fundamentalism. Dr. Winell’s book is practical, relevant, and altogether real. —Dr. Edmund Cohen, author of The Mind of the Bible Believer
Leaving the Fold is invaluable to those who have gone through the ordeal of religious addiction, abuse, and disillusionment, and who need a recovery plan. I highly recommend this book not only to the wounded, but also urge all pastors to study it carefully and then reassess their own ministries. Dr. Marlene Winell has made a most important contribution to deal with the most heart-wrenching of experiences. —Rev. Austin Miles, author of Don’t Call Me Brother and Setting the Captives Free
