Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles—a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.” A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

I never expected to have to uproot my family to go live in my parents’ isolated cottage on Lost Lake. It’s twenty miles to the nearest town, an insignificant speck in endless pine forests. Nobody’s lived here for a decade. Now, I pick up a rusty pail from its nest of autumn leaves and turn to my daughter. Suddenly, I recall how I used to help my own mother pick wild strawberries up here as a little girl. Maybe, this isn’t a punishment. Maybe this place will be the making of our family.

Story
"The Infinite Way" by Joel S. Goldsmith, a timeless spiritual classic, challenges conventional religious paradigms, advocating for a direct connection with the divine through silence and stillness. Emphasizing healing as a spiritual realization and presenting a holistic approach to well-being, the book explores oneness, unity, and the practical integration of spiritual principles into daily life.
Publisher's Summary
A compelling and powerful account of the abuse and trauma experienced by Andrew LeCompte during his time in a spiritual community, based on the massively popular self-study book A Course in Miracles.
A lack of love in an authoritarian household sparked Andrew’s lifelong search for love and belonging. His AA sponsor introduced him to A Course in Miracles, which Andrew studied deeply for twenty years. Then a celebrated spiritual teacher invited him to edit his first book and join his community. Andrew had been led to believe that he was chosen to find the Love of God. After a heart-rending parting from his family, he moved to Utah and joined the community.
He had some amazing early experiences while teaching the Course in Mexico, Spain, Hawaii, and Canada, some of them leading him to believe he that he was indeed finding the Love of God. But after six years of mistreatment, being coerced out of over $200,000, and emotional manipulation, Andrew found no real love, and certainly no miracles there.
When he believed that he had burned all his bridges, a loving message from his son helped Andrew to escape the cult and begin recovery. Tragically, he found his son dead on the floor a few years later. Andrew went through intense but highly effective mental health programs and emerged finally free of cultic mind control.
Ironically, he then experienced a miracle that brought him the love and happiness he hoped for.
This is a must-listen first-hand account of a cult survivor who escaped a spiritual program based on a movement that has drawn millions of practitioners into its grasp.
