"Out of the Cults and Into the Church."

As a minister, how do we help those who have come out of a cult, say Mormonism and others, and have become an orthodox Christian? This is the subject at stake in Janis Hutchinson's book, "Out of the Cults and Into the Church: Understanding and Encouraging Ex-Cultist."

Hutchinson walks the reader through person experience on how to help such ex-cultist. The book is primarily in narrative, especially dialogue, form. Each chapter reveals a story or a number of stories of ex-cultist approaching her struggling with letting go of their old faith and embracing their new faith. Hutchinson does not offer some therapeutic answer, but answers their questions with Biblical convictions and theology.

Though I was skeptical of this book, I found it intriguing and an important thing to think about. As a minister, how would I go about helping ex-cultist let go of their past and embrace fully their new faith? Hutchinson offers an answer with practical advice for all believers and it would be helpful if we listened and read her words.
