Media Taken In By Cult Leader??

I CAN’T HEAR GOD ANYMORE: LIFE IN A DALLAS CULT, (VM Life Resources Publishing) by Wendy J. Duncan is a first-person account of Duncan’s involvement in and dramatic separation from Trinity Foundation. The book describes the abusive practices and strange beliefs that define Trinity as a cult, as well as the author’s struggle to return to psychological wholeness after she left.

I CAN’T HEAR GOD ANYMORE also contains a detailed portrait of Anthony’s psychology and background, which Duncan spent months researching. Anthony is a well-known figure in media and religious circles, first gaining notoriety in 1991 when he assisted Dianne Sawyer in her exposé of three Dallas-based televangelists for the ABC news magazine PrimeTime Live. Since that time, Anthony has been involved in investigations of numerous religious figures, working with programs such as NBC Dateline and 60 Minutes. He and his group have been lauded in US News & World Report, The LA Times Magazine, and most recently, The New Yorker.

Ole Anthony has been a near-ubiquitous commentator on all things religious for both local and national media outlets, but there is more here than meets the eye. Though Anthony can be charming and persuasive, Duncan’s book raises questions about his willingness to be accountable for his own practices. In short, who is watching the watchdog?

Duncan is available for author interviews, and review copies of the book may be requested.
