A young couple watched their infant son die of meningitis even as
their Christian Science "practitioner" promised that prayer was all
the child needed. The parents were prosecuted, leading to a
six-year legal battle. A West Coast psychotherapist's practice
involved a bewildering array of drugs, New Age metaphysics, and
mind control. One of her patients died after a bizarre "hot tub"
treatment. The psychotherapist was taken to court. A Filipino
"psychic surgeon" claimed that he could remove tumours without
breaking the skin. The husband of one patient complained to his
local prosecutor. "Brother Joe" was put on trial.This is a
penetrating examination of three controversial court cases. With
exceptional insight, Richard J Brenneman delves into the minds of
those who believe that faith or magic alone can cure physical and
emotional ills. The book is a combination courtroom thriller, human
drama, and first-rate piece of investigative reporting. Brenneman
adds a unique, compassionate perspective because he's been there.
He is a former Christian Scientist, he lived in a commune, and (at
one time) he believed in psychic surgery.
