About this ebook

Very rarely do you ever hear something positive about the Church of Scientology or Scientologists. This often leads to a greater misunderstanding of Scientology, Scientologists and what the mission of the Church of Scientology actually is. Scientology is arguably the most controversial of all the religions. When you mention Scientology to someone you are almost guaranteed to get some kind of reaction or opinion. The Church of Scientology has been maligned and demonized by many detractors. But Scientologists themselves are passionate about their beliefs and defend Scientology with that very same passion. When it finally comes down to understand what Scientology is there is little if any objective information out there. It's all written from the perspective of detractors, supporters or people who just uninformed about Scientology and Scientologists in general.

About the author

Boyd Grant is the youngest of six siblings and was raised in a strict religious family who faithfully attended and practiced the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. Throughout his childhood he was forced to regularly attend Sunday school, Sunday Mass, Midnight Mass, Catechism classes, Baptisms, Confession and other miscellaneous church functions. When Grant turned eighteen, he refused to attend church or practice the beliefs of the Catholic Church. He was partially disowned by his parents and forced to move out of the family home. Grant packed up his belongs and moved across country from the east coast to the west coast, and has not looked back. Grant has traveled and backpacked through many parts of the country and dabbled in eastern religions and philosophies. He attended a few Scientology meetings in his early twenties, but, as he entered his thirties, he decided he wanted to learn more about the controversies, values, beliefs and myths of Scientology. Today Grant describes himself as spiritual rather than religious. Boyd encourages everyone to live in the moment and love with an open mind. In his free time, Grant enjoys surfing, hiking, science fiction and spending time with his fiancée Sue and their rescue dogs Muttley and Thor.
