Review: <<Jeannie Mills>>>

Just as I got through reading this story, and posting my first review, I searched just a bit further, and found out that this woman and her family were mysteriously murdered. How horrible this is!! It may have been a ex-member of the cult that certainly was not deprogrammed. Please, let us protect ourselves and our families from such a horrible experience!

Summary: Riveting, inside story of the world of Jim Jones
Review: I couldn't stop reading this book.Mrs.Mills gave a detailed account of her six years in the People's Temple.It was sad to hear her personal stories of some of the children that died at Jonestown.If you ever find this book, buy it!
I can't understand why its out of print. Sadly in early 1980, several months after the book was released,Mrs.Mills and her husband Al were found shot to death in their home.Their daughter Daphne was also shot.Daphne lived a few days in the hospital and then died.All 3 had been members of the Temple .Their murders are still unsolved.
I wish the book would be reprinted so it would be easier for people to find and buy.

Summary: God on Geary St.
Review: I lived on the same street as Jim Jone's People's Temple, & I got a hell of a lot of warnings from relatives to steer well clear of the guy! Not like I cared--- I wasn't a Christian, a communist, or anyone even remotely susceptable to his message. Still, the warnings came. He seemed almost comedic in the news, in the Glide Church... then came the news of the deaths in Guyana. A week later a paperback was on the newstands in Safeway at Church St. & Market in SF. It was all very nuts. "Six Years With God" seems to be the most definative book... & the most lurid. What more can you ask for?

Summary: Riveting, inside story of the world of Jim Jones
Review: Jeannie Mills was a big-hearted woman who would take people into her home at the drop of a hat. The People's Temple seemed to provide an avenue through which she could share her love of humanity. Needless to say, it was big mistake. Jones used her sterling qualities as he used the thousand or so others who joined his Temple. Mills tells a bizarre tale of cruelty, rip offs and insanity. Accepting the belief that self-sacrifice was more important than self-esteem, she and others gave up more and more to Jones' "cause" which turned out to be world domination for Jones (as he revealed to them). The book makes an interesting companion piece to Deborah Layton's book, "Seductive Poison." Too bad it's out of print.

Review: Jeannie Mills, if you accepted personal email, I would send you one! What made me purchase this book was looking at A&E Biography channel, and there was a documentary about Jim Jones. I was very young when this happened, and even then, I could not believe that so many people would suffer this way, and revisiting this made me search, and I must say that I opened up this book on Wednesday, April 7, 2004 at 3:00pm in the afternoon, and I finished it Thursday April 8, 2004, 3:00am in the morning. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!! It scared me, it opened my eyes, and it clarifies what I have believed for years, and that is that we have to pay attention to the message, not to depend on a man, from any religious denomination. This needs to be studied, so that history NEVER repeats itself.
