Steve's methods are reality-based and smart; moreover, they work! We all get out of things what we put into them. His compassionate heart though can't help but melt at the young dog's discouragement and so he sits and listens as Tidbit stumbles through his book. This was a fascinating and enlightening memoir. Definitely worth the purchase! You will not regret it! :). Elections are in the offing. Lovely intro to comics for the beginning reader. I got this title on the kindle lending library. For others, his continued clarity, emphasis and focus will be reassuring. A perfect illustration of this sunk-cost fallacy has been happening with President Bush and Congress. Merry Christmas! Picture was great, but the audio didn't seem up to par. I would have loved to see a chapter on China. Enjoy..

Hardman is a lecturer of religion at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Charlotte E. Susan J. . Palmer teaches religious studies at Dawson College and is an adjunct professor at Concordia College. She has authored numerous books about new religious movementsThe essays explore two general questions: 1) What impact does the presence of children have on a new religion's lifestyle and chance of surviving into the future? 2) Is child abuse more likely to occur in unconventional religions, or are children born into them, the 'new' religions have grown up and have become an important and rapidly changing social force that we cannot reasonably dismiss or wisely ignore. While their parents made the decision as adults to embrace alternative religious practices, the children have been raised with a very different orientation toward the larger society. The contributors to this volume examine children from many different alternative religious movements worldwide, including The Family, Hare Krishna, Wiccans, and Pagans, Messianic Communities, and the Rajneesh (Osho) Movement. The late 1960s and early 1970s constituted a remarkable period for spiritual experimentation and for the proliferation of new religious groups. Now the children born into these religions have come of age. While they take their religious communities for granted, many of these children gaze with curiosity at the surrounding secular world which their parents, not they, chose to reject
