For Daniel Clark, a family man and devout member of the Watchtower Society and bringer of "The Good News" - life had lost all meaning.  Disillusioned with church teachings, he decided to leave the faith, but had to find the strength to throw off the teachings programmed into him since birth and rebuild his life. 

In a harrowing account of growing up as a Witness in a filthy, flea-infested house, visiting his mother in a hellish mental institution, and his raw and painful path into the disabling addictions that hid his pain, Daniel shares his journey of escape and ultimate victory from an abusive childhood and the religion that held him and his entire family prisoner. 

I, Witness:  A Journey of Transcending Disabling Religious Beliefs (new sub-title) reveals the truth about what it's like to grow up in a world where brainwashing and  religious emotional and mental abuse are rampant; and explores how Clark learned to listen to his soul's yearning, and followed its direction into the Mystery of Life, and how his lessons can help others.  This book is a story of hope.

“A page-turning glimpse into the lifestyle of a Jehovah’s Witness. In sharing his memoir, Clark seeks catharsis and closure.  Clark’s portrayal of the life of a Jehovah’s Witness is grounded in a lifelong experience with this often-mysterious faith; anyone who has received a Witness at their door will find Clark’s perspective intriguing. The story is engrossing, and the writing solid. Though an imperfect character in many respects, his ability to change course and seek out a truer relationship with God is inspiring...One man’s successful return from a spiritual hell.”   -- Kirkus Discoveries
