Product ReviewsSix Years with God : Life Inside Reverend Jim Jones's Peoples Temple by Jeannie Mills (Hardcover)

Great view of the inner workings of Jim Jones' Peoples Temple

I began reading books about Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple in 2011 after a newspaper article picqued my interest. To date, I have read 5 books on the subject and I am continually searching for more! I was a little bit hesitant about reading this book because it came out so soon after the Jonestown Massacre. This is an EXCELLENT read and I would recommend it to anyone who may be doing a little bit of research on this tragic event in U.S. History. While the author seemed to be a little bit naive in some of the decisions that she and her husband made, she goes into detail explaining why she made those decisions at the time. This book is an in-depth look at the inner workings of the Peoples Temple from someone who was working right at the center of the operation before the mass exodus to Guyana.
Sadly, the author and her husband were shot and killed in their home about 6 months after the release of this book. Their daughther, who was home at the time, was shot as well. She later died in the hospital. No one was ever charged with the murders. After reading this book, one cannot help but wonder if they were not murdered by a Temple member who just did not like the portrait that the author painted of Jim Jones and his People. An excellent read~I highly recommend this one to everyone!Read full review...

A must-read

I have researched and studied Peoples Temple and the many people involved in that aspect of history. This is one book I would recommend for anyone who wants to see every point of view. Its often tough to read, and after reading it one may want to consider something a little "lighter" in subject.
It is very odd that the author and her husband, as well as their daughter, were murdered execution-style not too long after writing this.Read full review...
