{"product_id":"beyond-oz-makena-mcchesney-9781982272173","title":"Beyond Oz: My Journey from Religion to Spirituality","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter release from a 12-year cult experience, Makena embarks on an adventure to discover what it means to live life by direct reliance on Source, exclusive of a fear-based religious belief system. Her cult experience was restrictive and stripped her and her family of freedom of choice. Eventually, the cult doctrine nearly led to sacrifice of home and property.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn attempting to escape the cult entrapment in 1990, she appealed to God to give her encouragement. She received a three-fold promise from two identical scripture passages that essentially described a release from imprisonment, a time of abundance, and lifetime financial security. The Beyond Oz experience covers a span of 26 years that ultimately delivers all three promises-the last of which appeared impossible when she experienced a devastating loss at age 60. She was also inspired to \"close the book,\" indicating the Bible and some of the more oppressive messages. She was divinely encouraged to follow her inner guidance, her higher self, Source. She transparently narrates the ups and downs, the highs and the lows, but all with the underlying lessons she brought forward from her cult experience-to release fear, ask Source, gain knowledge, take personal responsibility and above all to love self and fellowman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Makena McChesney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982272171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982272173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Makena McChesney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127873564927,"sku":"9781982272173","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bffbf520-875f-428a-87c5-01a0c4a4b758.jpg?v=1687455726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-oz-makena-mcchesney-9781982272173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
