DEVOTION: OBEDIENCE OR BETRAYAL: The Untold Story of Faith, Abuse, and the 50-Year Cover-Up Inside Gloriavale - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A community hidden in the mountains. A founder convicted of sexual abuse. A cover-up that lasted fifty years.

Deep in a remote New Zealand valley, hundreds of men, women, and children live cut off from the outside world, bound by a strict religious code that controls everything from what they wear to who they marry.
They call it faith. Survivors call it something else entirely.
Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal pulls back the curtain on Gloriavale Christian Community, one of the most secretive and controversial religious communes in the world. Founded by Neville Cooper, a man who called himself Hopeful Christian, this self-contained society operated for decades while allegations of sexual abuse, forced labour, and systematic cover-ups were buried beneath the language of God's will.

Inside this book you will discover:

• The shocking true history of Gloriavale and the man who built it
• How Neville Cooper was convicted of sexual offences and returned to lead his flock
• The iron-fisted rule book that controlled every detail of members' lives
• The women who were silenced, the children who never knew another world
• The brave survivors who finally broke free and told their truth
• How regulators, courts, and the media finally began to hold Gloriavale accountable
• And the haunting question: what is still happening behind those walls today?

This is not just a story about one community. It is a story about power, obedience, and what happens when faith becomes a weapon.
For fans of true crime, cult documentaries, and untold stories of survival.
The truth has been buried long enough.
