"Millions met Susan Atkins in Helter Skelter. She was young and attractive, but desperate to find happiness. Alcohol, drugs, and promiscuity didn t satisfy her. . . She was looking for more. When she met Charles Manson, she felt she had met the world's savior. Here is her personal account of life and death with the murderous Manson "family." Condemned to die, rejected by society, she found life on death row - a miraculous rebirth as real as a resurrection." Review: I Believe This Book (Other Than the Bible) Saved My Soul! - From the first page, I couldn’t put this book down! I believe God purposely had me read it during a snowstorm as I’d be cooped up with nothing else to do anyways. I came across it by accident, looking for something in the secular true crime genre, when this book popped up and its title intrigued me. I’ve found myself wavering between atheism and creationism for most of the past few years, and Atkins’s story has now helped catapult me into the arms of Jesus. At first, I was honestly appalled by her, yet could not deny her conversion and realization that Jesus Christ is our only hope when there isn’t any other hope. I also, despite not participating in as vicious of crimes, related to her younger desires for acceptance as I desperately sought the admiration and validation of people in ways that caused me to do some very stupid and terrible things that I too regret. She is spot on in that our one true spiritually healthy acceptance is only found in the Lord Jesus. The book also helped enlighten me to the importance of raising our children in Godly homes and making the Bible the final authority in one’s family as a defense against the wiles of the devil. Most importantly, her courageous story has shown me that everything else the world has to offer is confusion and mayhem, but the gospel brings a bullet of crystal clear truth. Last of all, not to sound weird, but I feel as if Atkins may just be communicating with me as a spiritual angel of light in that I otherwise never would have read her story unless something spiritual had prompted me to do so — It’s a very hard read sometimes, and even makes one wish it wasn’t true, but helps show just how much God’s heart aches for us and reaches for us with unfathomable love! If you don’t know Jesus as Savior, I pray that you read this book, read the Bible, and that you will find and trust Him today. Review: Even after her passing, an interesting read. - After seeing the documentary Six Degrees of Helter Skelter my interest in the Manson Family was reignited. I'd seen the original 70's doc years ago and after re-watching it I was very curious what life on Spahn Ranch was like in the beginning. The book was worth reading for those stories alone. Sadly she did have a bad childhood and she slowly paints a portrait of how Manson manipulated her and everyone else to do such horrific acts. Though she spent the rest of her life in prison, the book finishes with her conversion to Christ. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #805,343 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #923 in Religious Leader Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 460 Reviews | ## Images ![Child of Satan, Child of God: Her Own Story, Susan Atkins - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51R02ug-l2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Believe This Book (Other Than the Bible) Saved My Soul! *by B***N on January 15, 2024* From the first page, I couldn’t put this book down!

I'd seen the original 70's doc years ago and after re-watching it I was very curious what life on Spahn Ranch was like in the beginning. The book was worth reading for those stories alone. Sadly she did have a bad childhood and she slowly paints a portrait of how Manson manipulated her and everyone else to do such horrific acts. Though she spent the rest of her life in prison, the book finishes with her conversion to Christ. ### ⭐⭐⭐ scary, very scary.... *by J***O on September 19, 2001* I sincerely hope Miss Atkins is the changed person she claims to be in this book, but frankly, I find it almost impossible to believe anything she says. She has told so many lies over the years about the Tate-LaBianca case, I think it's quite possible that even she doesn't know the truth anymore. Like the rest of the convicted killers involved in the Tate-LaBianca murders, she cops out by saying she had been brainwashed by Manson and had little control over her actions. I believe Manson knew who had the ability to kill and who didn't, and chose the people who went out to kill seven innocent people very carefully. Although Manson had the ability to capitalize on their weaknesses, the end result was these heartless people CHOSE to do his bidding. They could have gone back and told Charlie no one was home or simply refused his request in the first place. I simply can't conjure up any sympathy for anyone who is capable of comitting such a heartless act and the thought of someone like that being free to walk among us again is terrifying. Atkins claims she has found god and tells us he has forgiven her. I believe god can forgive anyone for anything if that person is truly remorseful for his or her sins, and if he has forgiven her, then her afterlife is assured. However, she is being held in prison because she comitted a crime against society, and society says she will rot in a jail cell for her unspeakable crimes. It's incredibly obscene for someone like Miss Atkins to place such a high value on her own life, when she had no hesitation whatsoever about taking the life of an eight and half month pregnant woman who pleaded in vain for her life and that of her unborn child. Seven innocent people are in their graves and they will never get a second chance. The killers deserve the same fate. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/15825744-child-of-satan-child-of-god-her-own-story-susan](https://www.desertcart.us/products/15825744-child-of-satan-child-of-god-her-own-story-susan) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
