Another of those fine Anthony Stokes titles, also available at Amazon....

As the page notes: "Two scientists from the Middle East decide to move the Appalachian Mountains and create a half rottweiler and Kodiak bear. The truth of mankind is out there if you can handle it. Word."

As with the "Pastor Anthony D. Stokes" Witches book, there is but one recommendation for it and no reviews.

If you are interested in who the author is:

"famed author" -- Pastor Anthony D. Stokes

A web search revealed no bio or resume. Apparently he preaches via TikTok posted to his Facebook account from his automobile.... It saves on having to have a church building, one supposes.

I’m not recommending the book.

I think the words on the cover are descriptive of the “REVEREND” and her purpose for posting on this site.

--- "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.

She’s getting compensation of some sort for recommending Amazon products.

Am I understanding this correctly?

--- "She's getting compensation of some sort for recommending Amazon products. Am I understanding this correctly?:

You were recommended by her, proven by a verbatim quote from her: "Please do read 'Witches In The Church: When A Victim Won't Get Free' this book congregational members in the church that attack clergy."

The recommended URL including the "content reference identifier" which is absent any regular search engine response. One non-Google search yields the Australian Amazon site. The US Amazon site, via a Google search, yields a simple URL without any CRID.

The conclusion is that the CRID and the recommendation to read -- meaning buy, for one cannot read without buying -- a book is linked to some reward program. Ergo, the content reference identifier.

I wager this 29 page "Independently published" tract was read by the one person who gave it five stars (probably the author), and no others, as there are no other reviews and no other comments. Why, even a church lady has probably not purchased it, though she suggested you do that.
