About this listen
Maria Compton was born and raised in the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. Encouraged to keep her distance from outsiders, she grew up in a world of Church meetings, banishments and with the fear that the end of the world - known as the Rapture - was nigh. When she was still in her late teens, she married a man she barely knew. To those around her she lived the perfect life; dutiful wife, loving mother, devout Brethren woman. But underneath the surface, this life was far from perfect.
Plagued by spiritual doubts, stuck in an abusive marriage and with her mental health in severe decline, Maria came to realise that she simply could not go on. And so, although knowing everything it would cost, she did the unthinkable: she left her church. Despite her attempts to stay in touch, Maria is no longer seen by her family, her friends or even her own children. But whilst she continues to grieve for everything she has lost, she holds fast to what she has gained: her liberty and her hope for the future.
Out of Faith is testament to the strength of the human spirit even in the darkest of times, and an incredible story exposing the tangled ties between family, faith and freedom.©2024 Maria Compton (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

Shocking that a cult like this exists in this day and age
This is a compelling, sometimes shocking read. But ultimately demonstrates a strength of character rarely seen. Highly recommended.

Amazing
An amazing insight into a cult and how it has trapped so many people in this day and age. Written so well as to give you an understanding of what life must have been like and how hard it was to break free. Highly recommend reading as even though it’s upsetting at times, it is also a story of family love and bonds and the willingness to protect each other even if misguided. Couldn’t stop listening to find out more. Five stars all round.
