The Field Guide to the Wild World of Religion: Pam has been
doing extensive research on the history of Religious Movements in
America for over twenty years. Her special area of interest is in

spiritually abusive methods to gather and keep supporters. She has
compiled a significant proportion of the information she has
gathered into profiles of religious movements, groups, leaders, and
ideas on the Field Guide website. From 6,000 to 10,000 visitors per
month are now coming to
the site to find information that can help

Creativity Crossroads
This website was created by Pam and her daughter Ramona Leiter. The site includes a wide
variety of inspirational and educational articles designed to
encourage every person to use their God-given creativity every
day. Creativity isn’t just about art and music. It’s about
“thinking outside the box” to create solutions to every
challenge, and looking at every aspect of life to see fresh
possibilities. God is the ultimate Creator, and we are all made
in His image—which means we were born to be creative too!
Field Guide to the Wild World of
Religion
Book information
The American religious scene in 1955 was a very tame and predictable
world. It matched the tame, predictable world of women's
clothing, where most women going out shopping wore a dress with
coordinating gloves, hat and shoes. And it matched the tame,
predictable world of children's toys, where almost every young
girl yearned for a baby doll that said Ma-Ma and almost every
boy needed a coonskin cap. Choices of fashions, toys, preachers
and churches were limited and domesticated.
Fifty years later, the tame,
predictable world of 1950s fashions and toys is long gone. Women
go shopping in everything from sweatshirts and jeans to tube
tops and short shorts. And both boys and girls want the latest
Sponge Bob Square Pants video game. The same kind of
transformation has gone on in the world of religion. It is no
longer tame and predictable either.
Welcome to the Wild World of
Religion of the 21st Century. Explore its habitats,
identify some of the inhabitants, and learn about their
characteristics and customs in this Field Guide.
The emphasis on the Field
Guide website is unconnected profiles of various
religious leaders, groups, movements, and ideas. One of the
goals of the book is to clarify how these all fit together into
patterns of change on the face of the American religious
landscape of the past five decades. The first section of the
book contains five chapters of brand new material, providing an
overview of some of the factors that have taken us from the
relatively Tame World of Religion in 1955 to the Wild World out
there now in 2005. Oh, what a difference a half-century has
made! This section ends with a chapter outlining seven trends
that are particularly troubling.

The 1911 Encyclopedia
Britannica on the Web
Serious Bible students have been enamored for years with the old 1911 edition
of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Issued just before the massive changes in
technology that have dominated encyclopedias ever since, the 1911 edition is a
gold-mine of historical information as well as in-depth coverage of many other
topic areas glossed over in more modern encyclopedias. On this website, you can
browse the entire encyclopedia, just as if it were in your own home.
The Wayback Machine
Have you ever been searching for information, and come up with the dreaded
"error, not found" message about a site that looked so interesting in its
description on the search engine list? That often means that the site owners
took the site down … or couldn't afford to pay their website server fees. But
the site you were looking for may still be "out there" for your perusal! There
is a unique "cyber gadget" called the "Wayback Machine" that may be able to come
to your rescue. It is on the Internet Archive website.
The sponsors of the Internet Archive website, with the cooperation of the
Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, and other institutions, have done what is
almost unimaginable. Starting in 1996, they "downloaded" virtually the WHOLE
"internet" into massive archival files. And they did this periodically ever
since. With the Wayback Machine, you can "surf the net" AS IT WAS at a "moment
in time" in the past! IF the site you are looking for hasn't changed its URL,
you just type in the webaddress you want to see in the Wayback's search box, and
it will offer you choices for "when" you want to be taken back to. Graphics may
be missing, but the text of what was there Way Back When will be displayed.
