What happens when truth is obscured and everything you believe is built on a lie?
One woman’s escape from a twisted gospel will lead her to a truth far more painful—and far more beautiful—than she ever could have imagined.
Verity Reed has spent her life devoted to a religious system she has never questioned—until cracks begin to form in the foundation of everything she thought was true. When long-buried secrets surface and the consequences of blind faith become impossible to ignore, Verity is thrust into a harrowing spiritual crisis. As the illusion she’s lived in unravels, the reality she has denied pushes her to the brink of insanity. She must decide: will she cling to the only world she has ever known, or will she risk everything to escape a counterfeit gospel?
A suspense-filled allegory of faith, deception, and redemption, The Shadow Gospel weaves rich theology with a gripping psychological struggle—revealing the clarity of Scripture and the relentless power of the Gospel.

Rebecca’s passion for writing began when she was just eight years old. Her early love for words blossomed into a career as an English and Christian literature teacher. On the side, she launched a publishing department at a small college, where she spent a decade mentoring writers and helping them bring their stories to life. Having spent over 25 years immersed in the Holiness Movement, Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and other forms of spiritually abusive Pentecostalism, Rebecca has since disentangled from these teachings. Her personal journey culminated in a life-changing encounter with the legitimate Gospel, fueling her passion for encouraging faith firmly rooted in Scripture. Now a full-time homeschooling mother, she writes in her spare time on doctrine, faith, and spiritual abuse recovery here, at rebeccapruett.com.
What Readers Are Saying About The Shadow Gospel:
Sarah Mounce
“I LOVED this story! It’s reminiscent of The Pilgrim’s Progress, but is completely it’s own story!”
Tonya S.
“A beautiful story of Gods grace. Thought- provoking, and kept me coming back for more. I saw myself in different areas, and the ending was a glorious reminder of the TRUE gospel.”
Brittany
We get to see through the lens of allegorical story the depth of deception and darkness that invades so many modern churches of our day. Following along with Verity we journey through various forms of spiritual darkness, and our hearts break when we see the pervasive lies that Satan twists from scripture that keeps so many ensnared there.
This book was very thought provoking and rooted in scripture throughout! This is a book sure to be edifying to any who pick it up.
Jen L.
“A beautiful account of redemption and a poignant message on the danger of false teachings!”
Emily T.
“This allegorical tale reveals so clearly the corruption of the gospel in many churches in our world today, and the false teachings so many are believing. Then after showing all the dangers of false Bible interpretations and teachings, it gives an equally clear description of the true gospel of Jesus Christ and the beauty of His grace.
I loved how biblically solid this book was, and the inclusion of verse references throughout the whole book to compare to Scripture.”
Naomi M.
The Shadow Gospel is a book that had me in tears as it so clearly taught the beauty of Jesus and finding rest in Him as our salvation vs the subtle counterfeit gospel message taught in so many fundamental and legalistic circles.
