The Scandal behind "The Scandal of Scientology"
By Paulette Cooper
You may not believe this, but you can write something that some group doesn't approve of and then have a quarter of your life almost ruined. I know because it happened to me.
I haven't previously written about this from beginning to end because it’s still painful, but here goes. In I was a struggling New York freelance writer, searching for an investigative story that would make a difference. I was already used to controversy -- and publicity -- when a year earlier I had successfully stowed away on an ocean liner and wrote an article (and sold movie rights) about it that had appeared all over the world.
But when I next decided to expose a then relatively unknown organization called Scientology (and the related Dianetics) I ended up falsely arrested and facing 15 years in jail, had 19 lawsuits filed against me all over the world by Scientology, was the almost victim of a near murder, was the subject of 5 disgusting anonymous smear letters sent to my family and neighbors about me, and endured constant and continual harassment for almost 15 years.
I had obtained a master’s degree in psychology and had studied c

Her first book, "The Scandal of Scientology" which has become world-famous, is still a classic after 50 years. What she learned about this cult led to an almost full-time crusade on her part to expose Scientology and help those who were hurt by them at a time when few outside
The Unbreakable Miss Lovely: How the Church of Scientology Tried to Destroy Paulette Cooper
I find Scientology endlessly interesting in ways that can unfortunately sometimes ignore the human cost of Hubbard's greed and ambition, and this book was an excellent reminder of the lives that were callously trampled because he could not abide people taking a look inside without the safety line of their auditing-provided blackmail.

The Life of Martin Luther: A Brief Biography of the Reformer
Martin Luther was a man whose heart was held captive to the Word of God. He was used mightily by God to usher in the Protestant Reformation, which would serve to recover the core truths of the Gospel that had been obscured by medieval religion and superstition.
Here is a brief biography of the man who sparked the Reformation.

Hans worked in the mining industry, even owning a few copper mines, but he wanted something better for his son. Martin was sent off to boarding school and then to the University of Erfurt.
He was an excellent student. He soon earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree and seemed to be well on his way to success as a law student. But about a month into his legal studies, on the 2nd of June in , Luther was on his way back to school from his parent’s home when he was caught in a violent thunderstorm. The storm grew more intense and Luther became afraid for his life.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt struck near him, throwing him violently to the ground. Luther
