"A necessary addition to the literature surrounding spiritual abuse . . . Greczyn honors the survivors of such trauma and provides a pathway for others to follow." -- Garrard Conley, author of New York Times best-selling memoir Boy ErasedThe Glass Castle meets EducatedWhen Alice Greczyn's parents felt called by God to exchange worldly employment for heavenly provision, they followed their faith into homelessness with five children and a cat in tow. Homeschooled and avowed never to kiss a man until her wedding day, Alice had plans to escape the instability by becoming a missionary nurse--plans that were put on hold with the opening of an unexpected door: the opportunity to be an actress in Hollywood. What followed was a test of faith unlike any she had prepared for, an arranged betrothal she never saw coming, and a psychological shattering that forced her to learn how to survive without the only framework for life she had ever known.This unique coming-of-age story takes place within a Christian subculture that teaches children to be martyrs and women to be silent. Revelatory, vulnerable, and offering catharsis for your own journey through faith and doubt, Wayward is a deeply intelligent memoir of soul-searching--and finding the courage to live in your own truth.

Though not to the exact same intensity, my childhood years within the Pentecostal framework carried some of the same indoctrination and psychological effects that Alice speaks of.And like her, I was unable to “receive” the “gift of tongues”. So I faked it as well as being “slain in the spirit”, my parents being none the wiser.But I do attribute my formative years within this setting as being my springboard to become radicalized into the conservative Mennonites and later the Old Order Amish. It took me over thirty years to finally “come to the light” of the truth of reality and science. And it was also quite devastating to me, having invested so much of my life and efforts, first to winning souls for Jesus in my evangelical phase, to preserving the faith at all costs in my Bible apologetics phase among the Mennonites and Amish.It took being disillusioned by failed prophecies among the Pentecostals, to blatant hypocrisy among the Mennonites, to a yearning for more knowledge than what I had been fed by my religious peers all my years, to wake me out of my religious cocoon.Alice’s book has inspired me to continue my efforts to write my own memoir, which has been in the works for some years, but has stalled due to my busy lifestyle as an “Amish Atheist” as I now call myself. And I have evolved and matured as well these last eight years since my formal exiting of the cult. I feel more prepared to elucidate my thoughts and very real experiences, especially those formative Pentecostal years that I had tried so hard to forget for so long!I highly recommend her book “Wayward” to all who are curious and brave enough to question any religious training and indoctrination they have been subjected to, either as a child which is most common, or as an unsuspecting adult. I believe her story and amazing research into the field of neuroscience in relation to the believing brain is eye opening and liberating. I can now finally much better understand why my parents allowed themselves to be so effected in those wild Pentecostal assemblies, while I could not.And I now rejoice in my new-found freedom to live life to the fullest, unhindered by religious dogmas that condemned me as born in sin and the need to be a slave to the hard taskmaster portrayed in the Bible. Life is Good, unbelievably Good!
