Initially, the divorce taxed John's relationship with his daughters. Now, ten months afterward, the improvement is evident, and he sees his daughters on a regular basis. Today, Seigel realizes that his case is not isolated but part of a common pattern. He hopes now to reach out to the husbands and wives of born-again people. I am better for the experience, though.
Life is again worth living.
Talking with others, Seigel emphasizes, and reading about others with like experiences helped him tremendously. He said that the Walk Away newsletter, and the four books Jesus Doesn't Live Here Anymore by Skipp Porteous, Don't Call Me Brother and Setting the Captives Free by Austin Miles, and The Mind of the Bible Believer by Edmund Cohen, have helped him to understand what happened to him during his involvement at Trinity Church Interdenominational and what is happening in Pentecostal churches throughout America. He knows otherwise. Weaker people, he feels stay in the church for fear of losing their support group. This indeed makes many a Pentecostal church a cult.
