Rating: Summary: PR? Yes. Informative? Yes. Not the whole story? Yes. Review: This book certainly contains a wealth of information concerning what the religion of Scientology is all about. It discusses what an individual scientologist does, as a member of this group, and as a practitioner of the religion. It also explains the benefits of receiving scientology counseling and training, and the activities of (some) of the social groups that the Church acts as an umbrella organization for. It doesn't talk about what is called
Rating: Summary: This is the most comprehensive book about Scientology Review: This book contains the answers to just about any question a person might have about the Church of Scientology and what Scientologists are doing all over the world, in terms of bettering conditions.There is much information about various social reform groups, such as the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Narconon, Criminon, and Applied Scholastics, to name a few. The Creeds and Codes of Scientology are listed in this book, and I have found these to be very enlightening. Questions that outsiders might have about any religion are answered here - an example is a list of Scientology holidays, and the history of the church, etc. There is a colorfully illustrated biography of the founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and an illustrated history of the religious heritage of Scientology, too. All the basic books, courses, and auditing processes are described here, as well a description of the different types of Scientology churches and groups, and their different purposes. This reference is a must for anyone who is interested in the subject of Scientology, or who has friends or relatives who are Scientologists, or who simply would like to find out why this religion is becoming so popular.

Rating: Summary: Scientology questions Review: This is a BIG book. But not hard to read. The subject is broken up into smaller areas of interest and there are plenty of pictures as well as testimonials from law enforcement professionals, medical professionals as well as many others. I didn't just "read" the book though. I looked to see if there was evidence to back up the claims made in it. While I have not travelled the world looking at each of the social betterment programs that use Scientology methods and technology, I have been able to verify their accuracy in my own area. One of the most striking things about the book "What is Scientology" is the short essay by L. Ron Hubbard called "Personal Integrity" where he states "Nothing in Dianetics and Scientology is true for you unless you have observed it. And it is true according to your observation. That is all." Excellent book.
