Deliverance at Hand!
The Redemption of a Devout Jehovah's Witness
Deliverance at Hand! is James Zimmerman's account of growing up as a zealous Jehovah's Witness in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. He was held up as a shining example for other youths in the religion, was given unprecedented privileges, and spent his youth proselytizing - he may very well have knocked on your door. But in the end, when he loses his faith, he discovers a salvation very different from the one he was preaching.
"Both an earnest personal story and a scathing expose of an irrational group that thrives upon and benefits from the fear and indoctrination of children."
- Dr. Chris Edwards, author of Spiritual Snake Oil
