Born and raised in California, Chris Shelton grew up in Scientology and spent 25 years actively working for it at its highest levels. Having escaped in 2013, he has been an outspoken critic and anti-cult advocate ever since.
Chris Shelton is the author of the newly published book Scientology: A to Xenu - An Insider's Guide to What Scientology is Really All About. From the book's description:
This critical analysis covers the key aspects of its beliefs, practices and structure from the bottom to the top, including not just the confidential Xenu story but details all of the upper level scriptures. Chris goes into detail about what goes on inside Scientology churches, why their members get involved in the first place and what it takes to get out should someone decide to leave.
Join us this Sunday as Travis Peterson interviews Chris Shelton about his experiences.
