Named a Best Book of 2021 by Newsweek and a Most Anticipated by People, TIME, USA Today, Real Simple, Glamour, Nylon, Bustle, Purewow, Shondaland, and more!Educated meets The Vow in this story of liberation and self-empowerment—an inspiring and stranger-than-fiction memoir of growing up in and breaking free from the Children of God, an oppressive, extremist religious cult.Faith Jones was raised to be part a religious army preparing for the End Times. Growing up on an isolated farm in Macau, she prayed for hours every day and read letters of prophecy written by her grandfather, the founder of the Children of God. Tens of thousands of members strong, the cult followers looked to Faith’s grandfather as their guiding light. As such, Faith was celebrated as special and then punished doubly to remind her that she was not.Over decades, the Children of God grew into an international organization that became notorious for its alarming sex practices and allegations of abuse and exploitation. But with indomitable grit, Faith survived, creating a world of her own—pilfering books and teaching herself high school curriculum. Finally, at age twenty-three, thirsting for knowledge and freedom, she broke away, leaving behind everything she knew to forge her own path in America.A complicated family story mixed with a hauntingly intimate coming-of-age narrative, Faith Jones’ extraordinary memoir reflects our societal norms of oppression and abuse while providing a unique lens to explore spiritual manipulation and our rights in our bodies. Honest, eye-opening, uplifting, and intensely affecting, Sex Cult Nun brings to life a hidden world that’s hypnotically alien yet unexpectedly relatable.
Sex Cult Nun by Gina Wesley is an absolutely gripping read from start to finish. The book takes you on a wild, thought-provoking journey into the dark underbelly of a religious sex cult, blending psychological drama, suspense, and moments of startling vulnerability. Wesley’s writing is sharp and evocative, pulling readers into a world of manipulation, belief, and desire, all while questioning the boundaries between faith and exploitation.What I loved most about the book was how it didn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths but still managed to keep you hooked with its compelling characters and intense storytelling. The narrative kept me on edge, with each twist and turn revealing something new and unexpected. It was one of those books that I couldn’t put down and kept thinking about long after I’d finished.If you’re looking for a page-turner that challenges societal norms and delves into complex themes of control, freedom, and identity, Sex Cult Nun is a must-read. Wesley’s ability to balance the eerie and the emotional makes this book unforgettable.
