Summary of Jeff Guinn's Manson

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Nancy Ingraham, the mother of Kathleen Maddox, was a fundamentalist Christian who took the Bible literally. She loved God, but she also feared His wrath. She had no doubt that everyone was held accountable by Him. #2 In 1931, Charlie died of pneumonia. His loss shook Nancy, but she was able to take comfort in her faith. God’s will was not to be questioned, even if it was mysterious. #3 Following the death of her second child, Nancy became even more devout. She continued to live a righteous life, and she became more determined that her surviving offspring would, too. She underlined the most critical passages in Isaiah Chapter 1, Verses 18 and 19: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. #4 Nancy was able to raise her two youngest children, Luther and Kathleen, according to her conservative Christian values. But Kathleen, who was always wanting to have fun, would rather go out dancing than go to church.
