Description:

In Stealing Wings from an Angel, Christian Cloud Abraham presents a collection of passages written during the period of his life when he broke away from his upbringing in the Bible cult, The Way International, and fell into a new world no longer protected by the people and ideas of the cult. From the first page you are whisked away from common reality and submerged into a Kafkaesque, turbulent, psychological landscape of a young man on the edge of losing his mind—and maybe even his life—as he battles for reconciliation between his preconceived ideas learned in the cult, and more rational ways of thinking. The story is told through a series of exhaustive and emotionally wrenching passages which blend the facts of his life with the fantasies and dreams erupting from emotional conflicts, reflections, and sentimental reveries for a past he knows he can never have again.
