Well, first of all, this man is not a writer so don't expect a well organized or properly laid-out book. It's from his own words and nothing has been edited. Therefore it's all over the place, yet still quite interesting. It really made me feel for James to know his background and to learn about the seriousness of the mind control experiments being inhumanely performed on inmates. If this information is true, and I suspect much of it probably is, then something needs to be done. I don't understand how people take this information so lightly. Most of this book is decently well-written and raw considering the source! Sure it's unorganized and veers away from the book's title. For example, when watching the Investigation Discovery "Wicked Attraction" series (episode "the Folsom Wolf")they talk about how James had sex with his own mother when he was an adolescent (she seduced him and shot him up with drugs). I don't remember James even touching on this subject, almost like it never happened, even though the book cover mentions sexual abuse. I also wish he would've delved deeper into the psychological reasons he teamed up with his co-killer Cynthia Coffman, instead of just superficially describing the situation and referring to her as "the most horrible person he ever met in his life." To me, it does seem that he puts the blame on Cynthia for the deaths of the two young women. He repeatedly says he's sorry to the victim's families, but mostly maintains his innocence. But who knows, he could be telling the truth. When he said he purposely disposed of the victim's and his/Cynthia's identification to where it would be found and get them caught, this could be true. Either that, or he made a serious mistake when throwing out this evidence near a dumpster (this is what the I.D. series indicates). I suspect, however, that the truth lies somewhere in between, and we'll never get the full story out of him, or know how much involvement he truly had in the murders. I have a weird feeling that there might be more women that James and Cynthia killed. According to the series mentioned above, Cynthia was caught with a single earring that she kept as a trophy from one of the victims. But police found three mismatched earrings in her purse, which looks to me like for all we know, those other two earrings belonged to victims we may never know about. Even though he is a killer, my heart still goes out to him and I wish this man the best. If God can forgive even the most abominable man, so can we, right? Or we can at least try to. He life has sounded literally like hell on earth.

"Mesmerizing... A portrait of something familiar gone wildly, tragically awry." —The New York Times “Sometimes, a child is born to a parent who can’t be a parent, and, like a seedling in the shade, has to grow toward a distant sun. Ariel Leve’s spare and powerful memoir will remind us that family isn’t everything—kindness and nurturing are.” —Gloria Steinem Ariel Leve grew up in Manhattan with an eccentric mother she describes as “a poet, an artist, a self-appointed troublemaker and attention seeker.” Leve learned to become her own parent, taking care of herself and her mother’s needs. There would be uncontrolled, impulsive rages followed with denial, disavowed responsibility, and then extreme outpourings of affection. How does a child learn to feel safe in this topsyturvy world of conditional love? Leve captures the chaos and lasting impact of a child’s life under siege and explores how the coping mechanisms she developed to survive later incapacitated her as an adult. There were material comforts, but no emotional safety, except for summer visits to her father’s home in South East Asia-an escape that was terminated after he attempted to gain custody. Following the death of a loving caretaker, a succession of replacements raised Leve—relationships which resulted in intense attachment and loss. It was not until decades later, when Leve moved to other side of the world, that she could begin to emancipate herself from the past. In a relationship with a man who has children, caring for them yields a clarity of what was missing. In telling her haunting story, Leve seeks to understand the effects of chronic psychological maltreatment on a child’s developing brain, and to discover how to build a life for herself that she never dreamed possible: An unabbreviated life.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
