I found this on my computer the other day and since I didn’t seem to have a product file that I downloaded it from, I’m not sure where I got it. However, I just did a search and it’s on at least one open product sharing site, which may even be where I got it, so if you want to save yourself some ratio, just do a little searching. I am just uploading it for the convenience of others who may want to take a listen, since it is not here. ~~~ Steve Hassan – Combating Cult Mind Control http://www.amazon.com/Combatting-Cult-Mind-Control-Best-sell…Abridged audio version of the book: http://www.amazon.com/Combatting-Cult-Mind-Control-Best-sell…http://freedomofmind.com/index.php/Media/bookCombatting.phpDescription A former cult member and a leading expert in counseling people away from cults, Steven Hassan brings his best-selling book to audiocassette.
