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

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. >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. >Grab your copy now.
