Cults to Consciousness

Anne Gollert Hill was searching for direction when a seemingly harmless life coach introduced her to Scientology without revealing what she was being taught. After spending nearly 20 years inside the organization and rising to a senior editor responsible for Scientology's international publications, Anne reveals the financial manipulation, psychological control, and disturbing experiences that ultimately led her to walk away.

Esperanza was a successful young woman working at an NBC-affiliated television station when she was introduced to the World Mission Society Church of God through a man she met online. Searching for faith, family, and belonging, she quickly became devoted to a religious organization that taught the world was coming to an end. Within months, Esperanza had walked away from her career, devoted nearly every waking hour to the church, and been encouraged to surrender her entire paycheck.
Things took an even darker turn when church leaders arranged her marriage to an abusive man she barely knew. Esperanza shares disturbing allegations of surveillance, reproductive control, and manipulation and abuse within her marriage, along with the extraordinary journey that eventually led her to question everything she believed.
