Summary Annotation <div><p>The Process Church of the Final Judgment was the apocalyptic shadow side of the flower-powered &rsquo;60s and perhaps the most notorious cult of modern times.</p><p>Hundreds of black-cloaked devotees, often wearing a satanic &ldquo;Goat of Mendes&rdquo; and a swastika-like mandala, swept the streets of London, New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Toronto, selling magazines and books with titles like<i>Fear</i>and<i>Humanity is the Devil</i>. And within the group&rsquo;s &ldquo;Chapters,&rdquo; members would participate in &ldquo;Midnight Meditations&rdquo; beneath photographs of the Christ-like leader.</p><p>Celebrities like Marianne Faithful, James Coburn, and Mick Jagger participated in Process publications, and Funkadelic, in its<i>Maggot Brain</i>album, reprinted Process&rsquo; &ldquo;Fear Issue.&rdquo;</p><p>Process&rsquo; &ldquo;Death Issue&rdquo; interviewed the freshly-imprisoned Charles Manson leading to conspiracy hysteria in such books as Ed Sanders&rsquo;<i>The Family</i>and Maury Terry&rsquo;s<i>The Ultimate Evil</i>. A lawsuit against Sanders&rsquo; Manson book led to the removal of its Process-themed chapter by Dutton.</p><p><i>Love, Sex, Fear, Death</i>is the shocking, surprising, and secretive inside story of The Process Church, which was later transformed into Foundation Faith of the Millennium, and most recently as the Utah-based animal sanctuary, Best Friends.</p><p>Included will be text by Timothy Wyllie, a formative member of the Process and Foundation Faith organizations; interviews with other former Processeans; rare reproductions of Process magazines; never-before-seen photographs; and fascinating transcripts from holy books and legal actions.</p><p>The special limited edition will be hardcover, signed, numbered, and slipcased, and it will include a facsimile edition of the notorious &ldquo;Death Issue.&rdquo;</p></div>
