Deceived: One Woman's Stand Against the Church of Scientology

For eight years Bonnie Woods was a loyal member of the Church of Scientology, working hard on their programme of self-improvement and rising into their elite ‘Sea Org.’ cadre of members. At the end of it she was broken emotionally, physically and financially. This book is her story of how she became involved, what happened during her time with them, how she escaped the movement and what happened after. It includes her testimony of how she and husband Richard became Christians and the drama of her Court case with the Church of Scientology that won her the right to publish her story. The Appendix includes material from her leaflet ‘What the Scientologists don’t tell you’. Richard and Bonnie Woods live in the UK and run Escape, an Organisation set up in 1991 in order to help, support and counsel families and loved ones who have members in Scientology and to work with former members who have been affected by their involvement. (www.escapeint.org.) This is the only book written about Scientology, by a former Scientologist who is now a Christian.
