Reviewer's Comment on New Religious Movements:
"The practical advice Dr. Barker offers reflects a healthy mixture of respect for truth, concern about human rights, genuine empathy and enlightened commonsense. As someone involved in pastoral counseling on a day-to-day basis, I whole-heartedly recommend this book to members, parents, teachers and minister."
- Rev. Dr. John Wijngaards, Director of Housetop RC Centre for Spiritual Resources.
