This is your chance to receive a new copy of Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships by Janja Lalich. This is the third edition, which is the latest. The original edition was titled Captive Hearts, Captive Minds and we gave away several dozen copies of that through the years.
“Cult victims and those who have experienced abusive relationships often suffer from fear, confusion, low self-esteem, and post-traumatic stress. Take Back Your Life explains the seductive draw that leads people into such situations, provides insightful information for assessing what happened, and hands-on tools for getting back on track.”
Jana Lalich is an international authority on cults and coercion. She is the founder of the Lalich Center on Cults & Coercion. If you watch documentaries on unhealthy groups, you have probably seen her.
We have a playlist of many interviews and talks she has given here.
This giveaway is a drawing. To enter, just leave a comment to show you wish to be included. The drawing will close on June 3, 2026 at 6pm (eastern time), after which I will draw a winner.
Be sure to check back to see if you have won as in the past some people have not responded after winning and so a new winner had to be drawn. You will then need to email me your mailing address if I do not already have it, so be sure to watch your email and check the spam folder. If I know your Facebook profile, I will message you there.
Don’t be alarmed if your comment does not immediately show as it may require approval.
You may want to subscribe to the email notifications of new blog posts in order to not miss these. While we try to share about our giveaways on social media, those platforms often do not show the posts to many people.
Watch for our July 1 post where you will have a chance to win a copy of of C.H. Yadon and the Vanishing Theological Past in Oneness Pentecostalism by Thomas Fudge. It is the third book in his series on Oneness Pentecostalism. It covers Oneness Pentecostal history, and highlights the United Pentecostal Church, of which Mr. Fudge was once a member.
In 2026, we’ll also be giving away one copy of each of the other Thomas Fudge books on the UPCI/Oneness Pentecostalism (Christianity without the Cross: A History of Salvation in Oneness Pentecostalism and Heretics & Politics: Theology, Power, and Perception in the Last Days of CBC).

Would love this for my library!
That would be such a great resource! Thank you for giving it away.
Would love to have a copy!
I would love this book!
I was in a cult many years ago and I’m still suffering from it, but by the grace of God I’m getting better.
It seems that even after 20 years free from the cult-like, spiritually abusive independent church I was a member of for 30+ years, that I still have to tear down ‘foundations’ in my walk with God that were so very wrong! Yes, I would love to read this book….more than willing to whack away at more lies taught as truths.
I would love to win this book! I’m trying to read all I can get my hands on as I am in the process of trying to get out of the apostolic church.
I’d like to be included in this drawing. Thank you!
