Beskrivelse

Ten years as a minister with the Assemblies of God Church turned Austin Miles into one of today's most outspoken critics of the church and propelled him into the international spotlight as an important spokesperson on a subject that has been handled far too delicately for far too long. Miles' first book, the controversial "Don't Call Me Brother", sold thousands of copies, appeared on several religious best-seller lists, and led to an unprecedented outpouring of media attention and public response.This book updates events following the publication of the book and the televangelist scandals, and includes letters from Miles' admirers and critics - from a 70-year-old man who sees the truth about born-again Christianity for the first time, to a ministerial candidate with a high-heel fetish. Letters from followers of the late faith-healer William Branham call the book "blasphemous"; others detail tragic stories of molestation, the loss of life savings, and the alienation of family members.These letters, many of them expressing confusion and pain, provide the springboard for Miles' hard-hitting examination of deceptive religious organisations and for updates on the cast of characters that still controls much of the religious thinking of our time.
