Description:GOLD WINNER 2024 Human Relations Indie Book Award!McKeon is intelligent and honest in his appraisal...The text has extensive, multiple examples of McKeon's experiences. However, it is his intellect and the sense of personal responsibility that he acknowledges that win the reader's attention and respect. The memoir is especially compelling...The book makes an intelligent statement about the importance of people feeling valued in ways that are healthy and the dangers of the alternatives. —US Review of BooksHow the mighty (rich) fall. Remember the Moonie-inspired assassination of Shinzo Abe, Japan’s former prime minister, in July 2022? Now, in October 2023, the Japanese government is asking the courts to dissolve the Japanese Unification Church and is mulling legislation to strip its assets for victim reparations. A timely moment to reflect on a powerfully new, now self-destructed, religious experience.In 1981 Sun Myung Moon’s message of unconditional love revitalizes an idealistic, embittered disabled veteran. But it’s more a Bushido-flavored Imperial Japanese Caesarism than God’s individual liberty. Broken on the rack of faith, Chris locks horns with victimocracy’s blame game. He hits rock bottom then an agonizing but liberating rebirth from guilt, domestic violence, fanaticism, excommunication, shipwreck, a shattering depression, imploding faith, near suicide, and shirking.Snarky. Exciting. The first to analyze the nuts and bolts of America’s Unification Church from its missionary and business trenches to its top leaders told by the shark’s meal charging headlong down its gullet. Chris’ 21-year odyssey gravels along from recruitment to serial rejection, street hack to lauded manager, livid victim to joyful victor.If you were ever a Unificationist or some stripe of idealogue; a domestic violence victim or maybe a perpetrator; a near-suicide feeling crushed ’neath life’s ironshod boot or love’s heartless hate; or just can’t stop shooting holes in your feet, this book might open your awareness to paralyzing, scapegoating victimism and a path of transitioning to your own life-giving victorism. It couldn’t hurt.Table of ContentsPreface to This Edition — iPrologue — iiiI Meeting the My Axial Moment — 1II Joining The Ideas That Grabbed Me — 15III Learning the Ropes, Seeing the Warts — 31IV California or Processing Fish, Searching for Truth — 57V On the Mobile Fundraising Money and Lies — 87VI A Falling Organized Violence, Bureaucratic Indifference — 115VII On the High Seas of Life, Death, and Poverty — 169VIII Back to Persecuted by Moonies and Their Enemies, Too — 213IX In the Middle Journalism and Censorship — 243X U.C.
