David Elliot Hochstadt, searching for a purpose in life during the seventies, joins the Unification Church started by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon. He dedicates his life to the church for fourteen years, then walks away.
But that isn't the end of his talks with God.
David, who joins the organization at eighteen-years old, writes about his experiences in Memoirs of an Ex-Moonie: Understanding and Channeling the Heart of God.
He describes how a Jewish teen in Brooklyn decides to join a cult and details what life is like panhandling for the organization—certain he’s doing his part to help mankind. And he confesses how he leaves after deciding all he’s doing is lining Reverend Moon's pockets.
While disillusioned by the Unification Church, David remains true to his belief in God. He shares his personal journey of faith and how he learns to communicate with God while a Moonie—not from religious instruction but through his personal prayers.
Memoirs of an Ex-Moonie isn't only a memoir about David’s time at the Unification Church—it's a guide to all who walk in faith and yearn to speak with God.
