Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The couple had planned their escape for months. On a Wednesday or a Sunday night, when everyone was in church for the 6:30 p. m. service, they would leave the house and start loading up their car. They had only ten minutes to get out.#2 The Coopers were members of Word of Faith Fellowship, an independent evangelical Christian church in North Carolina. The church was brutal, but escaping was risky, as they would be cut out of the lives of the faithful if they left.#3 The Coopers were moving to North Carolina, where her husband would become a pastor. Suzanne was apprehensive about the move, as her husband never thought things through and always made decisions without consulting her.#4 The church that the Coopers joined, Word of Faith, was another independent Protestant church. It was led by Jane Whaley, a charismatic woman preacher, who claimed to have turned around many troubled lives. Their doctrine was clear and easy to understand: Satan employed an army of invisible demons on the earth to manipulate humans into addiction, illness, and wrongdoing. But believers were not helpless. They had the Bible, strong mutual ties, and frequent worship services to keep their minds trained on higher things.
