Out of Deception (Book Review)

Title: Out of Deception: The True Story of an Amish Youth Entangled in the Web of a Cult
Author: Nathan Miller
Publisher: Bookmasters
Source: NetGalley


Goodreads Summary:
The unbelievable but true story of how Wil Hochstetler, a young, innocent Amish teen and his family, were unwittingly lured into the clutches of a smooth-talking cult leader. Wil's family was searching for something deeper, and what seemed at first like fresh water for a thirsty heart soon turned bitter and poisonous. By the grace of God, Wil's devotion to his leader slowly turned to doubt. Finally, sick and tired of being manipulated, controlled, abused, molested, and deceived, Wil made his break and escaped his leader's grasp-or so he thought. This is a disturbing story of Satan's gross deceptions and a beautiful story of the power of God's grace and deliverance. 



Thoughts:
Out of Deception is an amazing book about an even more amazing true story of a young boy who gets caught up in a cult. They story is so well written that you can easily understand exactly why good people fell into a cult. And even more wonderful is the road to redemption away from the cult. This book will make you think about your faith and your loyalty to God. You do not need to be Amish for this book to lead toward a better path and the Bible.
It truly is an unbelievably true story that's scary, horrific, and uplifting all at the same time.


Rating: 4.5/5
