Jenna Miscavige Hill was born into the Church of Scientology and grew up strictly adhering to its beliefs and practices. But aged twenty-two she made a daring break. Now, for the first time, this insider pierces the veil of secrecy that has shrouded Scientology - a religion that has been the subject of fierce debate and speculation worldwide.
Beyond Belief is a definitive look at the beliefs and rituals of the religion, using the author's unique relationship to the Church's first-in-command - David Miscavige - as an unprecedented window into the religion, its draw, its practices, its leadership, its followers and its secrets.
From her disturbing childhood to the organisation's celebrity culture, Jenna shares true stories that are beyond the wildest imagination.
