Title: Excellent Approach to NRMs
Review: In this work, Barker has given parents excellent suggestions for steps that they should take when a child joins a religious group whose beliefs they might not agree with. She emphasizes the importance of letting adult children make their own decisions about their religious beliefs, but also stresses the importance of keeping contact with the new convert and learning about the beliefs and social structure of the group. Parents who have a child in a "cult" would be much better off if they would read this book as opposed to any of Bob Larson's or the rest of the anti-cult movement. Individuals who like this book should also take a look at Timothy Miller's "America's Alternative Religions" or any work by Bryan Wilson for a neutral examination of New Religious Movements.
