Synopsis

What Is Scientology: History, Beliefs, Rules, Secrets and Facts By now it’s a safe bet that you have at least heard of Scientology. Nine times out of ten what you have heard is negative. Very rarely do you ever hear something positive about the Church of Scientology or Scientologists. This often leads to a greater misunderstanding of Scientology, Scientologists and what the mission of the Church of Scientology actually is. The press is usually so negative that if someone asks “what is Scientology,” the response is nothing more than a mash up of all the bad things they’ve heard or read about in the media. Scientology is arguably the most controversial of all the religions. When you mention Scientology to someone you are almost guaranteed to get some kind of reaction or opinion. The answer you receive always depends on who you ask. Some are from people who are informed while other responses are from people who only know what they hear in the press and the press can certainly be unkind. The Church of Scientology has been maligned and demonized by many detractors. But Scientologists themselves are passionate about their beliefs and defend Scientology with that very same passion. When it finally comes down to understand what Scientology is there is little if any objective information out there. It’s all written from the perspective of detractors, supporters or people who just uninformed about Scientology and Scientologists in general. A new book, <b>What Is Scientology - History, Beliefs, Rules, Secrets and Facts,</b> will help shed some light on one of the most controversial topics of all time, Scientology. Look no further for one of the few objective accounts that will finally shed some light on the Church of Scientology. What Is Scientology? History, Beliefs, Rules, Secrets and Facts helps you better understand Scientology and why Scientologists are so passionate about their beliefs. It cuts out all the unhelpful chatter and helps you understand in simple terms exactly what Scientology is. This short book will help answer the most important questions you might have about Scientology. Some of the more important questions include everything from the Scientology belief system, the History of Scientology, and why people join the Church of Scientology and much more. You will also have a greater understanding of why people hate Scientology and why former members speak out about it. For those of you looking to learn more about Scientology this is the book you are looking for.

About this title

About the Author

Boyd Grant is the youngest of six siblings and was raised in a strict religious family who faithfully attended and practiced the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. Throughout his childhood he was forced to regularly attend Sunday school, Sunday Mass, Midnight Mass, Catechism classes, Baptisms, Confession and other miscellaneous church functions. When Grant turned eighteen, he refused to attend church or practice the beliefs of the Catholic Church. He was partially disowned by his parents and forced to move out of the family home. Grant packed up his belongs and moved across country from the east coast to the west coast, and has not looked back. Grant has traveled and backpacked through many parts of the country and dabbled in eastern religions and philosophies. He attended a few Scientology meetings in his early twenties, but, as he entered his thirties, he decided he wanted to learn more about the controversies, values, beliefs and myths of Scientology. Today Grant describes himself as spiritual rather than religious. Boyd encourages everyone to live in the moment and love with an open mind. In his free time, Grant enjoys surfing, hiking, science fiction and spending time with his fiancée Sue and their rescue dogs Muttley and Thor.
