The Moment Faith Stops Being Freedom, it Becomes Control.
For years, Karol King believed obedience was holiness. Raised in a strict religious community, she followed every rule, silenced every doubt, and gave her life to serving God as a minister's wife, missionary, and teacher. But beneath the surface of devotion was a growing ache, an unease that whispered something was wrong.
So Much More is a religious trauma memoir that pulls back the curtain on the hidden cost of blind obedience. This is a leaving a cult story, an honest faith deconstruction memoir where Karol faces the scars of spiritual abuse survival, and the price of staying silent in a world where women in church were silenced was not just a doctrine but a daily reality.
When loyalty to leaders meant suppressing her own voice, Karol had to choose: remain bound by fear or step into freedom. In breaking away, she discovered that blind faith, meaning unquestioning obedience, was never devotion at all. It was control. True faith required the courage to question, to doubt, and to believe differently.
This is more than a Christian memoir of freedom. It is the testimony of a cult survivor story, a journey of healing from toxic religion, and the rediscovery that life and faith are so much bigger than fear.
If you've ever struggled with doubt or faced religious control memoir experiences, So Much More will speak to your heart.
Some faith is worth questioning. Some freedom is worth everything.
