Behind the Dress: One woman's life in a religious cult and the healing that came later

By Christine Faour ,

Book cover of Behind the Dress: One woman's life in a religious cult and the healing that came later

What is my book about?

A patriarchal, fundamentalist and abusive cult that was hidden in plain sight. The Amazon Prime docuseries Shiny Happy People tells the students' stories of abuse, control and brainwashing that took place in The ATI cult. This is a mother's story of what she lived and the rules she lived by until, thankfully she found herself out of the cult but unable to live in the world like a 'normal' person.

Have you known someone who was in a cult? Do you think you know your neighbors pretty well? You really don't know what's going on behind the smile, the dress and the doors of the house down the street.

This is the story of a Canadian woman who was in the Advanced Training Institute, run by Bill Gothard, for fourteen years. The amazing thing is that she never knew she was in a cult until several years after she was out. That's what happened to Christine in 2014. She has spent the past nine years trying to deprogram and change the way she sees the world. The Advanced Training Institute had all the hallmarks of a cult, it even fit Bill Gothard's definition of a cult, but Christine and her family believed they were God's cream of the crop. Join her as she navigates the cult, goes through a divorce, finds out she was in a cult and subsequently has to unlearn all she believed to be true. Interestingly, this is the same cult the Duggar family of 19 Kids and counting is a part of.
