Описание:
Why would a well-educated, middle class woman leave a teaching career and spend nineteen years in a California cult that imposed authority over decisions about material possessions, privacy, children, marriage, food, personal appearance, and ultimately her identity? Why didn't she and hundreds like her recognize that Chuck Dederich, Synanon's founder and guru, was rapidly descending the slippery slope from visionary to megalomaniac? Why did these people, who included successful lawyers and doctors, acquiesce to Chuck's whims, even when he demanded that all marriages in Synanon be instantly dissolved, the entire community embrace childlessness, any woman less than six months pregnant get an abortion and all men over the age of eighteen undergo a vasectomy? These are some of the difficult questions Alice Rost answers in Designated Dancers. Mostly a personal exploration, it describes the once vibrant organization that helped thousands of alcoholics and drug addicts kick their habits and live useful lives. The book depicts scenes in which she gives up one child and hands her second daughter over to the haphazard educational system of Synanon. She tells about "changing partners" where marriages are dissolved by decree of Chuck Dederich and men and women are told to "make love happen" after being linked up in a caricature of an auction block. Interwoven are scenes depicting the dark side of Synanon, including stories of attempted murder, beatings, harsh and punitive treatment of children, and institutional humiliation. Ultimately, Designated Dancers is a cautionary tale driven by Alice's struggle to redeem herself as a parent, wife and responsible member of society. Her journey oils the gears of the book.

Описание:
It's 2014. Grieving the loss of family members and friends killed in a plane crash, renowned megachurch pastor Priscilla Sinclair sits on her patio, prepared to take her own life. But before she can end it all, a stranger shows up at her Virginia home and changes everything.
Trying to strengthen her faith, the stranger challenges Priscilla to lean on God's promises and on the examples of faith left to her by her ancestors. He tells her a story she has never heard before. The story goes back over 3,000 years, beginning with Aaron, God's designated high priest during the Exodus, and explores the line of designated ones through the times of King David, Solomon, the exile in Babylon, the crossing of the Arabian Desert into Saba, the migration across the Red Sea into Axum, the birth of Christ, and the lives of the generations that have followed.
In this thrilling journey through history, Priscilla is given a chance to go from failure to faith and live to fight another day. But will she accept the stranger's challenge?
