Riassunto

Sentenced for Life-A Story of an Entry and an Exit into the World of Fundamentalist Christianity and Jews for Jesus, is the story of how a talented woman, Jo Ann Schneider Farris, became involved with the control of organized religion. The author takes you on a journey into her life. You will learn about her childhood and her years as a competitive skater, her intense desire to please her skating coaches, teachers, and parents, and her longing to make friends outside of skating in a complex world. The reader travels with the author into the world of born-again Christianity, and learns about the unusual life this woman experienced there. You will get to peek inside her life in a Christian commune, and also see the inside of the Jews for Jesus ministry. You will cry with the author as you learn about the abuse and control she experienced in the Jews for Jesus organization, but also laugh as you see the fun she experienced through the deep sense of belonging that the group gave its members. This story does have a happy ending; the author shares the happiness and joy in her life today as she reflects on her past, and you will find her attitude on life today catching! Fascinating and fun reading!
