About SET FREE!: Breaking the chains that bind you.

In the transparent story of her life, Kelly James Davis takes us on a journey from a happy middle class family into thirty years of a religious cult. The group was birthed out of the Jesus movement of the late '60s and early '70s but quickly departed from Scripture and eventually demanded separation from family and other outside influences. Kelly was totally convinced she was doing what God wanted her to do, yet found herself devoid of the joy and love she once experienced when she first committed to following Christ. Through exposure to authentic Christian believers and a more careful examination of God's Word, she was finally able to break free from the control, guilt and shame that enveloped her. In SET FREE! she shares the ups and downs of of communal living and identifies many of the tactics leaders use to gain control over others' lives. Yet in the end she recognizes how being free is really an inside job. It was only through Christ's love that she was able to forgive herself and others and walk in the joy and life He offers to all.
