Full Circle

One woman’s search for affirmation and significance trapped her and caused her to lose everything of value in her life. Deceived by Scientology, mysticism, and years in a toxic and restrictive cult, she lost her marriage, relationships, home, her publishing company, and her reputation.

In this candid and heartfelt memoir, Athena’s Dean Holtz tells how her eyes were opened and how God restored all that had been lost, and gave her the desires of her heart, including a loving, godly husband. Athena Dean Holtz now uses her growing multi-faceted platform to encourage and uplift others through sharing the faithfulness of God in her life and in the lives of others.   This revised and updated edition includes the many full-circle moments in the six years of restorations since the original edition was published, along with individual and small group questions to enhance reader interaction.
