About this title

From the Inside Flap

Shortly after graduating from high school, Randy joined the Navy and soon left for basic training, leaving behind the rural dairy farm on which he'd grown up and a family deeply devoted to God and one another. At first, Randy's letters and phone calls to his parents and brothers were cheerful, warm, and open, typical of who Randy was. But when he, along with several other sailors, joined a group called Christian Fellowship Church International and was baptized into their ministry team, it didn't take long before his family saw a drastic personality change occur. Letters and phone calls became less frequent and were filled with odd and disconcerting comments about his new "family" of brothers and a leader named L.R. Davis. Before long, Randy had become a complete stranger to his family. What had happened to change him? And what could his family do to help him? As they witnessed a progressive entrapment and manipulation by the group over their son, Randy's parents sought outside help and soon came learned their son had become part of a known religious cult.
