About this audiobook

Grace Road tells the true story of how a South Korean cult built its own “promised land” in Fiji, and why it became one of the most controversial issues in the islands. The book traces how 400 cult members created the Grace Road Group: a business empire of farms, petrol stations, malls, construction projects and restaurants that are everywhere you look. But behind the spotless commercial branding lies a dark history: the imprisoned cult leader, allegations of abuse and control of followers. Grace Road focuses tightly on the specific historical and cultural conditions. Korea’s turbulent twentieth century, the rise of Protestant megachurches, and Fiji’s deeply religious society. Conditions that made this extraordinary migration and enterprise possible. It is a narrative of faith and power, for readers who want to understand how one small church could become a nation‑wide presence—and what that means for the people living there.
