520 | _aIn 1979 preacher Jane Whaley attracted a small group of followers with a promise that she could turn their lives around. In the years since, Whaley's following has expanded to include thousands of congregants across three continents. In their eyes she's a prophet-- and to disobey her means eternal damnation. Whaley decides what her followers study, where they work, whom they can marry-- even when they can have sex. Weiss and Mohr provide a terrifying portrait of life inside the Word of Faith Fellowship, and the harrowing account of one family who escaped after two decades. -- adapted from jacket | ||
