"The problem of religious damage has not received much attention, since faith is considered by many to be a good thing. This book is about understanding and rebuilding life; it is not fault-finding, but aims to support the love for self that every human being needs. Leaving the Fold is a book for people who have rejected their rigid religious upbringing and now must cope with the related guilt, fear, anger and loneliness. Readers will learn to cherish their new independence, experience self love, accept their feelings, choose their own reality, and learn to live in the here-and-now."
