--- "I'm not recommending the book."

Did not think for an instant you did. Oddly and amusingly a later church lady comment did recommend, even including her version of a hot link. As to that interesting link and the book:

The Amazon page states "There are 0 customer reviews and 1 customer rating."

You will note the URL for the book page from Amazon when a simple search is done:

https://www.amazon.com/Witches-Church-When-Victim-Wont-ebook/dp/B09FM3WJZT/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1

Please note the URL as was 'church' recommended to you on this thread:

https://www.amazon.com/Witches-Church-When-Victim-Wont-ebook/dp/B09FM3WJZT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3Q3H4H8ULCMCN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.c-H7QOtxCc2XNAIpDz5m3B-tKHPnWWpRsg9AO8drxwrGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.qv79MFFBFMkdJaFIFD-rxoL6sGeU8Rd3j3BtcmikxW8&dib_tag=se&keywords=witches+in+the+church+stokes&qid=1727351846&s=books&sprefix=witches+in+teh+church+stokes%2Cstripbooks%2C101&sr=1-1

Note the distinctly different lengths of the URLs, one of which seems to contain a marker extension to identify the individual making the referral/recommendation. MailChimp and others use such lengthy marker to check clicks and users in their programs.

Look's like a partner ID. I will look deeper into this. But....

As to Amazon, it operates a partners program wherein clicks are coupled to rewards. See: https://www.sellerapp.com/blog/amazon-brand-referral-program/

The "crid" in the second longer link likely is what is called a "content reference identifier." Translation: a tracker for all info to the right of the crid chain of characters.

The last part of the longer URL reads "crid=3Q3H4H8ULCMCN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.c-H7QOtxCc2XNAIpDz5m3B-tKHPnWWpRsg9AO8drxwrGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.qv79MFFBFMkdJaFIFD-rxoL6sGeU8Rd3j3BtcmikxW8&dib_tag=se&keywords=witches+in+the+church+stokes&qid=1727351846&s=books&sprefix=witches+in+teh+church+stokes%2Cstripbooks%2C101&sr=1-1"

Indeed, an identifier.
