"Broken Faith is a gripping, meticulously reported account of a
cult leader's grip on a small southern community. It is also a
prescient story of systemic abuse where the victims seek--and fail
to find--justice from the very institutions that were meant to
protect them." --Ethan Brown, New York Times bestselling author of
Murder in The Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis
8? "A tour de force of investigative journalism and storytelling.
This is the kind of book that inspires the next generation of
journalists and reminds working reporters why they do the
job."--Kevin Maurer, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of No
Easy Day "In light of current events, I can't imagine a more
important book than Broken Faith by outstanding investigative
journalists Mitch Weiss and Holbrook Mohr. Their chilling
description of North Carolina's Word of Faith Fellowship and
professed Christianity gone horribly awry is unsettlingly parallel
to events involving Peoples Temple and its demagogic leader Jim
Jones. Much credit is due to the courageous former Word of Faith
members who share their shattering stories in Broken Faith. If you
care at all about religious abuse and the destructive means by
which charismatic leaders exert despotic control of their
well-meaning followers' lives, read this book."--Jeff Guinn, New
York Times bestselling author of Manson and The Road To Jonestown
"...Fascinating and deeply researched... Compelling in its
evidence, this shocking narrative examines the bonds of family, the
limits of endurance, and how far people will go to save their
souls." --Booklist STARRED review "A compelling examination of a
Christianist cabal whose crimes are evident but whose power seems,
for the moment, unbreakable."--Kirkus Reviews "A fast-paced,
harrowing exposé...transfixing."--Publishers Weekly A page-turner
for any fans of the Wild Wild Country Netflix series... will leave
a lasting impression on readers for years to come."--PopSugar
"Those interested in cults and true crime will be enthralled by
this account."--Library Journal "A harrowing picture of faith gone
horribly astray...Broken Faith makes for compelling drama, with a
vision of healing and renewal at the end."--StarNews
