PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

Description

Some say it was a religious cult. Some say it was a God-ordained ministry. Some say it saved them. Some say it ruined their lives.

Mary Rosenberger was born and raised at Freedom Village USA. From the outside, it appeared to be a troubled teen industry program with a mission to rehabilitate and restore lost souls. On the inside, it was a community with an atmosphere of severe spiritual abuse, fear, and obedience to its founder and leader, a man everyone called Pastor.

In this memoir, Mary shares her unique inner-circle story from her family's 30-year staff residency and eventual exodus from Freedom Village. Its fear-based culture shaped Mary's relationship with herself, others, and God. Freedom Village: A Memoir is a daring, vulnerable story of both light and darkness, inviting readers along in the relentless pursuit of healing and freedom.

About the Author

Mary Rosenberger is the author of the blog Out from the Inside, where she first documented her upbringing in a religious, fear-based community-and her eventual escape from its grasp. Freedom Village: A Memoir is Mary's first book. Mary continues to write about her unending pursuit of the heart of God on her blog. She explores her lifelong passions for singing and dance at her church, which is decidedly not a cult. Mary lives in upstate New York with her husband, three children, and a veritable menagerie of pets.
