I must admit, this was an interesting, well thought and written book on the various cults in our society. Martin describes the criteria that he used to distinguish a cult from mainstream religious, and based the ones he listed upon that. Each chapter was interesting and provided the belief system and how it compared with modern day Christianity and their beliefs. In the appendix, are a few religious, such as Seventh-day Adventist, that doesn't quite hit the cult status, but yet tiptoes on the edge. He gives his reasonings why and how they fit in his book from years prior. All in all, a very interesting read in learning about alternative religions, also known as cults. The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book or advanced reading copy.
