About this audiobook
Megan White is drawn into a large Pentecostal church, consumed with a desire to find meaning and purpose in life. The charismatic leadership provide the perfect motivation to dramatically change her life and free her from the drug scene. But despite the high ideals of the church leadership, Megan soon learns a secret.
Megan’s journey of discovery is a roller coaster ride as she negotiates the complexities of church contradictions, her desire to maintain her faith all the while wrestling with her own weaknesses and temptations.
This story highlights our intriguing capacity to deny truth, even when it is staring us in the face.

Having left my IT consultancy business to run a cattle station in 2008, I am pursuing a new career in creative writing. After completing my Master of Arts (Writing), I self-published Beyond Belief in print in 2013 and as an eBook in 2014. A second edition was published in June 2016. My second manuscript Mind Minders was shortlisted (one of three) for the Horizon Publishing Group's Outstanding Literary Awards 2013/14. A publishing contract was offered, but I did not accept it. This manuscript is still looking for a publisher. My third major work is fantasy ... about Zãnians, little people who live in the Australian bush. This work is inspired by the environment in which I live. Writing is my passion. I love the creative process though it is painful and difficult at times. I read to be challenged and therefore my goal in writing is to challenge my readers, to encourage them to think about the world in new ways. I'm interested in philosophy, religion and its power in the world, exercise, fitness, adventure hiking and basically living life to the fullest!

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I would have loved to listen to this but the narrator is not good and the “editing” by adding words in later is so different from the normal reading it’s irritating
