Summary:
"An explosive investigation into
Word
of
Faith
Fellowship
, a secretive evangelical cult whose charismatic female leader is a master of manipulation. In 1979, Jane Whaley, a fiery preacher with a thick Southern drawl, attracted a small group of followers--twenty-two men and women drawn in by her passion, and promise that through prayer and deliverance, they could turn their lives around. In the years since, Whaley'
s
following has expanded to include thousands of congregants across three continents. In the eyes of her followers, she's a prophet--to disobey her means eternal damnation. It could also mean hours of physical abuse. The control she exerts is absolute: she decides what her followers study, where they work, whom they can marry--even when they can have sex.
Broken
Faith
is the meticulously reported story of a singular female cult leader, a terrifying portrait of life
inside
the
Word
of
Faith
Fellowship
, and the harrowing account of
one
family who escaped after two decades. Based on hundreds of interviews, secretly recorded conversations, and thousands of pages of documents,
Broken
Faith
offers both a cautionary tale and a deeply emotional examination of
faith
, resilience, and family. It'
s
the story of an entire community'
s
descent into darkness--and for some, the winding journey back to the light."
