Description

In memory of the author, Diana Lee, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of her books will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."Great and VERY unusual book. Helped me see myself more clearly." - Frank Schaeffer, New York Times bestselling Author of Crazy for God"Evangelical Fundamentalism is like going through life looking in a mirror. Everything is backwards." - Paul WeisBook 2 - The long-awaited second book in the Shattered Diana series continues the brainwashing saga with a look into Diana's marriage, how her former husband built upon the foundation instilled during her childhood - that was often reinforced with a belt so that she learned to confound love with pain and suffering. The fundamentalist demands for wifely submission, suffering in silence, personal sacrifice, purity, unattainable perfection, fear of non-fundamentalists and distrust of normal human emotions completely undermined her sense of self.About the SeriesThe Shattered Diana series is an autoethnographic study illustrating the remarkable courage of its author in her agonizing quest for authentic self-discovery in the face of the absurdities, toxicity, and destructiveness of dogmatic religious fundamentalism. This series pioneers a compelling literary genre growing out of Diana Lee's extensive knowledge of history, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, biblical literature, fundamentalism and cults. The series' vivid and artistic descriptive journeys into the author's existential realities are woven beautifully and seamlessly into an informed multilayered intellectual analysis of a world torn apart by one epistemic pathology after another. There is a genuine education in this series and enlightenment with respect to the destructive and crippling effects of fundamentalist worldviews that remain all too common at the outset of the 21st century.
