Synopsis

No matter how spiritual you are, no matter how strong your family, you could lose your child to the siren call of the cults.
Time and time again Dr. Paul Martin has seen dedicated Christian young people fall into the trap of cults and fringe churches. Himself a victim of a cultic fringe church, Dr. Martin now reaches out to other former cult members, assisting hundreds of them to find healing.
Now Dr. Martin shares his expertise in the first book about cults designed especially for concerned Christian parents. In Cult-Proofing Your Kids, he advises parents on how to identify a cult, how to educate children about cults, why people join cults, what to do when your child joins a cult and how to help your child recover from cult involvement.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than losing your child to a cult. But with Cult-Proofing Your Kids, you now have the tools you need to prevent that from happening - or to fight back when it does.

About this title

Synopsis:

This is an examination of the cult problem which also offers practical advice. It is a comprehensive psychological, social and evangelical treatment of the growing trend of cults. Dr Martin destroys the myth that those who join cults are spiritually weak or psychologically troubled. He theorizes that the rise of cults has been facilitated by our schools, families and even our churches. He offers advice to institutions on developing cult education programmes to prevent people from being drawn into cults. There are also chapters, directed particularly to parents, on how to get children out of cults and assist in their recovery.
