In The Face of the Iguana, Patrick McKallick tells the dramatic stories of how fear-based beliefs, both cultish and religious affected his life, emotionally, physically and mentally and his eventual healing. This book is not just for all those abused by toxic belief systems, but also those recovering from addictions. The author relates touching stories of his painful abandonment by his troubled parents and his final internment in an orphanage. He tells dramatic and amusing anecdotes that preserved his sanity, and the utter desperation of his cunning and miraculous escape from a toxic, doomsday cult. We are taken on a journey of events as varied as hiding under the bed from his raging alcoholic father to descending into the depths of a 16th-century churchs crypt where he gazed upon piles of human bones, the shock of which catapulted him unconsciously into a dark and ominous pit. We faithfully follow him as he describes the conclusion of the war in El Salvador and the mass fear and terror of the citizens of that country, to the comical circling of a vintage ocean liner in a beat up fishing boat with an old lady, a fisherman, and two young kids. This is not just a compilation of interesting stories, but clear guidance for anyone recovering from addictions including to fear-based belief systems and the ensuing guilt and anxiety. The author expertly provides revelations and insights into why we seek out toxic beliefs. Mr. McKallick reveals how his investigation of a surprising and astonishing field led to his incredible healing and liberation from the effects of PTSD. The author learnedly introduces evidential research that mitigated his anxiety due to abusive belief systems and the fear of death. He describes the ensuing collapse of this fear and the promise of an astonishingly beautiful after-life.
