Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book came out in 1990 and was instantly denounced and banned. Hundreds of Independent Fundamental Baptists stood in their pulpits and denounced the author from the pulpit as being a "tool of Satan." The author received death threats and was denounced from the pulpit of First Baptist Church in Hammond, Indiana and other pulpits in the land of Independent Fundamental Baptists. The author, an attorney and former member of the First Baptist Church, details fact after fact, including: The possible homicide of a 17 month old baby. The chief suspect? The son of a famous Baptist Preacher. This child was found to have multiple broken bones in various stages of healing prior to his death while in the home of this man, David Hyles (who would take the Fifth in the Coroner's Inquest). Multiple adulterous affairs by this son (who wrote a book entitled "Purity" while he was having some of the affairs). Pornographic pictures discovered in a briefcase tossed into a dumpster behind the church by David Hyles. The subjects? The wives of men in the church and other women in the church. The facts showing how a famous Independent Fundamental Baptist preacher sent his son to an unsuspecting church, when that preacher knew his son had serious moral failures. A pastor who brags that he has men on his staff that would commit suicide if he asked them. A church membership that displays a loyalty eerily reminiscent of the Jim Jones cult mindset. Staff members who boast that their pastor is so god-like that he does not have a dishonest drop of blood in his body. A daughter who reveals conversations she overhead between her mother, a secretary to this Baptist pastor, and the pastor, which always ended with a soft, whispered "I love you," all the while her father, a deacon of the church and close friend to the pastor, was banished to the basement by her mother. The daughter of this famous Baptist pastor who says her father's church was a cult. These are just a few of the facts in this book. The author, Voyle Glover, a lawyer and a former church member for nearly 20 years, brings all the passion of a lawyer doing closing argument to the case as he relentlessly brings out fact after fact and question after question, each of which begs to be answered. At one point, Glover examines sworn testimony given by Hyles and his alleged paramour during a deposition taken during her divorce. Testimony there revealed that the Reverend Jack Hyles had given or loaned more than $100,000 to this woman, and bought her a new car every two years. Interest in this case has attracted attention from various media sources, including the Chicago Tribune, The Times, the television show Current Affair, the Southern Baptist Conference, newspapers across the nation, radio, magazines and a host of religious publications. The book has been out of print for over 2 decades. Now, there is a demand for the book by a new generation, the children of the parents who refused to read this "trash" (as Hyles called it). This generation wants to know what their parents refused to see. They want truth. There is an even greater interest now, in light of the recent scandal brought on by the headline news that the successor pastor to the Hyles pulpit, the son-in-law, Jack Schaap, was recently (2012) arrested for transporting a minor across state lines to have sex. He pled guilty and faces a minimum of 10 years prison.
