| bill dendiu: Going Clear (Enhanced Edition) Lawrence Wright, 2013-01-17 National Book Award Finalist The enhanced eBook edition of Lawrence Wright’s revelatory study of Scientology includes additional photographs and documents, plus more than thirty minutes of original video—taped interviews with former members of the church speaking about what drew them to Scientology and about discovering past lives, the church’s position on abortion and homosexuality, and how the Guardian’s Office functions; and in interviews with the author, Lawrence Wright speaks about his aims in writing this book, his respect for his sources, and methods of research. A clear-sighted revelation, a deep penetration into the world of Scientology by Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower, the now-classic study of al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attack. Based on more than two hundred personal interviews with current and former Scientologists—both famous and less well known—and years of archival research, Lawrence Wright uses his extraordinary investigative ability to uncover for us the inner workings of the Church of Scientology. At the book’s center, two men whom Wright brings vividly to life, showing how they have made Scientology what it is today: The darkly brilliant science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, whose restless, expansive mind invented a new religion. And his successor, David Miscavige—tough and driven, with the unenviable task of preserving the church after the death of Hubbard. We learn about Scientology’s complicated cosmology and special language. We see the ways in which the church pursues celebrities, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and how such stars are used to advance the church’s goals. And we meet the young idealists who have joined the Sea Org, the church’s clergy, signing up with a billion-year contract. In Going Clear, Wright examines what fundamentally makes a religion a religion, and whether Scientology is, in fact, deserving of this constitutional protection. Employing all his exceptional journalistic skills of observation, understanding, and shaping a story into a compelling narrative, Lawrence Wright has given us an evenhanded yet keenly incisive book that reveals the very essence of what makes Scientology the institution it is. |
| bill dendiu: Going Clear Lawrence Wright, 2013-01-17 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST • From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower comes “an utterly necessary story” (The Wall Street Journal) that pulls back the curtain on the church of Scientology: one of the most secretive organizations at work today. • The Basis for the HBO Documentary. Scientology presents itself as a scientific approach to spiritual enlightenment, but its practices have long been shrouded in mystery. Now Lawrence Wright—armed with his investigative talents, years of archival research, and more than two hundred personal interviews with current and former Scientologists—uncovers the inner workings of the church. We meet founder L. Ron Hubbard, the highly imaginative but mentally troubled science-fiction writer, and his tough, driven successor, David Miscavige. We go inside their specialized cosmology and language. We learn about the church’s legal attacks on the IRS, its vindictive treatment of critics, and its phenomenal wealth. We see the church court celebrities such as Tom Cruise while consigning its clergy to hard labor under billion-year contracts. Through it all, Wright asks what fundamentally comprises a religion, and if Scientology in fact merits this Constitutionally-protected label. |
| bill dendiu: La prigione della fede Lawrence Wright, 2015-10-22T00:00:00+02:00 Acquistando per due dollari un libro, offertogli per strada da un giovane entusiasta un giorno del 1975, Paul Haggis ancora non sa che l'affiliazione casuale, e all'inizio piuttosto scettica, alla Chiesa di Scientology segnerà la sua carriera di regista, trasformandosi via via in un inferno personale e professionale. Quando, molti anni dopo, Haggis riuscirà finalmente a uscirne, racconterà tutto a Lawrence Wright, che in questa superba inchiesta racconta (per la prima volta) tutto a noi: le violenze, i ricatti, le estorsioni cui Scientology sottopone i suoi affiliati; le figure più grandi del vero, e per molti versi mostruose – David Miscavige, attuale guru della Chiesa, e Tom Cruise, suo principale testimonial –, che la tengono in vita; le grottesche procedure private (come le sedute di auditing, un improbabile incrocio fra la parodia di una seduta di analisi e quella di un colloquio aziendale) in cui si articola la lunga iniziazione dell'adepto, e le fantasmagoriche cerimonie pubbliche che celebrano i trionfi della setta più vasta mai apparsa sul pianeta. Ma dove Lawrence Wright scatena fino in fondo la sua straordinaria vena narrativa è nel ritratto dell'inventore di tutto questo, Ron Hubbard, un uomo impegnato fin dalla giovinezza a falsificare la sua stessa biografia, capace di vendere milioni di copie dei suoi romanzi di fantascienza, e naturalmente dei suoi manuali parareligiosi, e perfettamente a suo agio nella divisa di commodoro della flotta privata su cui Scientology, bandita per reati fiscali dal consesso delle nazioni civili, fu costretta per anni ad autosegregarsi. Ma soprattutto in grado di convincere centinaia di migliaia di seguaci che il nostro mondo è governato da un'occulta cricca di psichiatri malvagi, i quali «operano secondo metodi tratti direttamente dai manuali per terroristi»: e che l'unico modo per sconfiggerli è versare, a lui stesso e alla sua ristretta cerchia, donazioni sempre più consistenti. |
| bill dendiu: Cienciología Lawrence Wright, 2013-11-07 El Premio Pulitzer Lawrence Wright realiza una extraordinaria investigación sobre la Iglesia de la Cienciología, una de las organizaciones más poderosas y cuestionadas del mundo. ¿Qué se esconde detrás de la iglesia de la Cienciología? ¿Cómo ha logrado convertirse en una de las organizaciones más ricas y poderosas del planeta? ¿Por qué estrellas como Tom Cruise y John Travolta son fieles devotos de una de las organizaciones más criticadas del mundo? Lawrence Wright, premio Pulitzer por La torre elevada, y uno de los grandes periodistas de investigación del mundo, ofrece respuestas a estas y a otras muchas preguntas, y nos desvela la historia y la complicada cosmología de una organización tan intrigante como poderosa que ha conseguido captar a ricos y famosos y ha sabido utilizarlos para alcanzar sus objetivos. A través de un trabajo de investigación sin precedentes sobre una de las instituciones más opacas y secretistas que existen, Wright reflexiona sobre qué convierte un culto cualquiera en una religión, y sobre por qué los seres humanos eligen unas creencias sobre otras. Una historia apasionante que aborda el atractivo de la fe extrema y el coste de abandonarla. Reseñas: «Una historia completamente necesaria... un reportaje sobresaliente. La historia de la Cienciología es la gran ballena blanca de la investigación periodística sobre religión.» The Wall Street Journal «Un libro poderoso... una lectura esencial.» The New York Times Book Review «¿Quién podría pensar que la historia de una religión ofrecería tantos placeres culpables? El cautivador relato del ascenso de la Cienciología se completa con la historia de los escándalos de los famosos. Todos los interesados en los rumores de Hollywood disfrutarán con los capítulos de Tom Cruise y John Travolta.» Los Angeles Times «Lawrence Wright ofrece una investigación lúcida y valiente de la Cienciología -su historia, teología, su jerarquía- y el resultado es la evidencia de que la realidad puede superar la ficción.» The Washington Post |

| bill dendiu: Building Belief Chad V. Meister, 2009-06-01 It can be hard to share faith with others, especially when people can't agree on whether there is even any actual truth. With that in mind, Chad Meister has developed a simple, logical way for you to help others move past relativism to a place where Christian belief makes sense: the Apologetics Pyramid. In Building Belief, Meister leads you up each step of the pyramid, beginning where many find themselves today--doubting if anything is really true. From there, he powerfully builds a case for absolute truth, the existence of God, universal morals and values, the reliability and divine inspiration of the Bible, the resurrection of Christ, and ultimately, the good news that Jesus is the Son of God who offers salvation to the world. |
| bill dendiu: Ecclesial Leadership as Friendship Chloe Lynch, 2019-03-01 When it comes to talking about the activity of directing the church, the language of leadership and leaders is increasingly popular. Yet what is leadership – and how might theological narratives better resource the discourse and practice of leadership in ecclesial contexts? In identifying and critiquing managerialism as a dominant narrative of leadership in the Western church, this book calls for an alternative approach founded on the concept of friendship. Engaging with the wider field of leadership studies, the book establishes an understanding of leadership activity and brings it into conversation with an incarnational ecclesiology. The result is a prophetic reimagining of ecclesial leadership in terms of a relational, kenotic praxis. This praxis of mutuality and love is framed here in the rich language of Christian friendship. The book also wrestles deeply with the embodiment of such a praxis, making explicit the power behaviours typical of friendship-leadership and offering constructive guidance for practitioners in the task of implementation within a complex and fractured world. This book offers a new vision of the centrality of friendship to leadership of a healthy church community. As such, it will be of great use to scholars of practical theology, ecclesiology and leadership, as well as practitioners in church ministry. |

| bill dendiu: Blown for Good Marc Headley, 2010-03-31 Marc Headley started working for the Scientology organization in 1989. After leaving in 2005, Marc posted bits and pieces of what went on at the Scientology headquarters (known from inside as the International Base). Marc posted anonymously under the screen name of Blownforgood aka BFG. In September 2008 Marc was invited to speak to an international conference of European government representatives regarding the Scientology organization and their abuses. It was at this time that Marc revealed his identity as Blownforgood. By 2009, the internet posts Marc had written over the years had been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, but still there were people who questioned their validity. Stories of grown men being thrown into dirty lakes and pools as punishment? Physical abuse never reported to authorities? How could this happen in modern day America? Two years after Marc wrote about these things and posted them on the internet, a Pulitzer Prize winning U.S. newspaper printed accounts from former staff member who worked at the Int Base that matched and confirmed what Marc had written about. Not only that, Scientology officials admitted that these things had taken place! Find out what they did not talk about in Blown for Good. |

Ron Hubbard, 2007 Since time immemorial, people have preached the necessity to live by the tenets of honesty, compassion and decencythat integrity is the only foundation upon which true life itself is built. But no matter how well Man has intuitively known this, none could point the way to achieve it. Is it any wonder, then, that the very subject of ethics has become either what one can get away with or whats good for oneself alone? One cant live in a world where ethics itself is a charade and where justice has become a mockery of civilization. Here, then, is a brand-new look, a way for an individual to pull oneself up, for a society to reverse its downward slide, for Man to ascend to the heights of a dreamed-for destiny. For contained in this book are the breakthroughs that bring understanding to the subjects of right and wrong, good and bad, death and survival. |

But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders True growth takes time and tears and love and patience, Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church. |
