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.

From the Author
I wrote this book in 1990. At the time, I'd just left a church I'd belonged to for nearly 20 years.� The book was about the pastor of the church, a rather famous man in the world of Independent Fundamental Baptists.
The book raised questions that should not have even existed. As a result of writing the book, I received death threats, hate mail, and since the majority of my clients were members of the church where this man was pastor, most of my client base disappeared overnight.
Since that time, the pastor has passed on, to heaven according to some, and elsewhere according to others. I leave it others to speculate on that, though I lean towards believing he's been up there with God doing some explaining, and maybe answering some of those questions I raised.
In many ways, he was a good man. There was a lot to like about the man. I liked him on a personal level. He was a man's man, and very personable, very charismatic (not in the religious sense). He had a lot of wisdom. I admit to being helped by his wisdom a number of times. And, I believe he was a generous man.
That said, there was much he did and said that was wrong. Very wrong. The book addresses some of those wrongs.
Getting a copy of this book is rather problematic. The book is out of print, so any copy you purchase is going to be used. There are no intentions at this point of reprinting the book. If ever I do, I'd have to make it an abridged version because frankly, the book was too harsh in some places. As a Christian, I am admonished to speak the truth...in love. I have no problem with the first part, but admit I failed in some parts to maintain the second part. Part of the reason, I believe, was the anger, the deep feeling of betrayal I felt.� I no longer have those feelings. Time has a way of healing wounds. And, if I were writing the book today, it would be more matter-of-fact, and some parts would be omitted.

An Opening of the Eyes
By Caron McCracken
I read this book several years ago because even as a graduate of Hyles-Anderson, I was not afraid to investigate for myself. The author was very responsible in his presentation of the facts. I had sat under much of the preaching that the author had evaluated - his analysis was fair and accurate. Its hard to recognize hard facts when you fall under the influence of a man as strong a manipulator as Dr. Hyles was, but realizing the truth is so freeing. I highly recomend this book to those who have attended this college and are ready to make Jesus Christ the sole satisfier of your soul, not an icon. Dr. Hyles called my husband and myself the greatest alumni (financial gifts)supporters (at that time) of his church. So its not like we have ever been out to harm Pastor Hyles in any way.

A Must Read if you Dare Get the Whole Story
By Dan
Attorney Voyle Glover systematically dismantles the facade surrounding the late Jack Hyles in this expose filled with first-hand testimony, evidence and observations. Glover makes a most-convincing case that something was amiss in the life and ministry of this 20th century icon of one of the most extreme branches of Christian fundamentalism. Using court documents, personal interviews and the language of an accomplished attorney, some readers will react strongly in the negative as they see the reality beyond the illusion that was Jack Hyles. While many will point to Hyles' ministry having made a positive impact on them and others, the honest reader will reach a conclusion that these good works were in spite of his character and theology, not because of them. This book requires an open mind when reading and when completed, you'll be left saddened, maddened and heart-broken for those left in the wake of this sadly misguided so-called spiritual leader.

Worth reading, but not well-written
By Tara Lohman
This is a book worth reading, especially for those who still believe to this day that Jack Hyles was a man of God, rather than the truth, which was that at some point his pride led him down the road to creating a cult that has been responsible for an unbelievable amount of abuse and damage to the lives of others. Voyle Glover was there for the glory days of First Baptist Church of Hammond and so was ideally placed to see the abuses perpetuated by Hyles, his son, and so many of those who have followed the rules and regulations of this type of church. They are responsible for the encouragement of an easy, repeat-after-me type of "salvation" that is mostly for the purpose of claiming inflated numbers of members while leaving the "convert" with no idea of what he's done, or even worse, the idea that he is just fine and "Heaven-bound" because he prayed some prayer after a desperate college student needing to claim the numbers.
Now that Jack Schaap, the son-in-law of Hyles, has fallen into disgrace, a lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon and trying to profit from the entire mess, writing books and articles and naming names, but Glover did it years ago, when it was new and shocking to many people and when it would hurt his business and his friendships. He bravely stepped forward to expose what he knew, and he paid the price. I don't know Glover personally, but know many who know him, and I believe he's a decent man, one with integrity. He's almost too kind to Hyles, cutting him some slack in many cases, when I believe the plain truth is that pride destroyed the man and he created a system just rotten to the core. I only attended the church's schools for a couple of years, but had family very involved in the church, and the average person cannot imagine that corruption of this system and so many other churches spawned from it.
All that being said, the book itself is a disappointment. I read it years ago when it first came out, and it's basically the same as it was, not all that much has been added. Glover is a very intelligent man and gives a good spoken interview. I am sure that in his law dealings he is very skilled. But he considers himself a writer and I'm afraid I disagree with him on that. The man so sorely needs an editor, or at least some sort of beta-reader who is not closely involved with the subject matter and isn't afraid to say, "Mr. Glover, you just said the exact same thing in this paragraph that you said in the paragraph before it." He spends the first 10% of the book telling you what he is going to say, laying out the facts while continuing to say, "I'll be telling you this," and "I'll be telling you that...." Then he does---over and over and over, repeating the facts, re-quoting what he already quoted from Hyles' sermons. He is so redundant that he could have said everything he said in a third of the book and used the rest to fill it with new information and new stories of abuses in the church---God knows there are plenty. He continually has little asides that come across as unprofessional, and gives examples that had me shaking my head and saying, "Huh?" The chapter on Brent Stephens was heartbreaking, but when he goes into the story from Brent's point of view, it's hokey and corny and made me think of John Edwards assuming the voice of the failing fetus in his million-dollar personal injury lawsuits. I much preferred the straightforward words of the investigator over Glover's overly dramatic written histrionics, sad and frustrating as the case is. So I have to say that I cannot really recommend this book as a well-written piece of work, but that does not change the basic truths that exist---Hyles was a phony who did untold damage to untold numbers of people, and unfortunately, he is still fooling people, many of them good people, long after his death.
