Broken Faith: Inside the Word of Faith Fellowship, One of America's Most Dangerous Cults by Mitch WeissMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Broken Faith: Inside the Word of Faith Fellowship, One of America's Most Dangerous Cults by Mitch Weiss and Holbrook Mohr is a nonfiction investigation of Word of Faith Fellowship. If you are interested in non-mainstream religions or cults, you may have encountered Word of Faith before. They are best known for their practice of "blasting," a form of loud prayer that is meant to cast out demons. Word of Faith has also been featured in documentaries about cults. This book documents several accounts of former members and the lengths they went through to leave the church and expose abuse they and others endured. Some sacrificed everything to escape. From the outside, it is hard to understand why anyone would join an organization that could be so brutal and yet people did join. Having an opportunity to hear their stories was really fascinating.
