Don Lattin, Jesus Freaks at Books Inc. December 4, 2007

In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's "Under the Banner of Heaven," Don Lattin's "Jesus Freaks" is the story of a shocking pilgrimage of revenge that left two people dead and shed new light on The Family International, one of the most controversial religious movements to emerge from the spiritual turmoil of the sixties and seventies.

Veteran journalist Don Lattin has written a powerful, engrossing book about this uniquely American tragedy. Jesus Freaks is a cautionary tale for those who fail to question the prophesies and proclamations of anyone who claims to speak for God.
