An endorsement by David Lehmann, University of Cambridge, written at the time of publication, reads as follows: ‘In what is by far the most profound and wide-ranging study of one of the world’s most challenging and disconcerting religious phenomena, Ilana van Wyk has produced a truly engrossing work of ethnography. In its triumphant march out of Brazil and across the globe, the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God attracts millions of followers, but also puzzlement, indignation and shock for its success with methods which seem at first sight to be utterly out of keeping with contemporary cultures. This book covers the controversial aspects one by one: money, demonic possession and exorcism; unbearable family tensions amidst poverty and AIDS; and the mysteries of the church’s internal dynamics. Some of the case material is deeply distressing, but the analytical fruits will be with us for a long time to come.’ The UCKG said in a press release that it did "not condone the seemingly one-sided, biased report which is fraught with factually incorrect statements and sweeping generalisations which are contained both in the book and in Van Wyk's interviews".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uckg.org.za/news/press-release-the-uckgs-statement-on-ilana-van-wyks-book/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221184108/http://www.uckg.org.za/news/press-release-the-uckgs-statement-on-ilana-van-wyks-book/|archive-date=21 February 2016 |title=Press release: The UCKG's statement on Ilana van Wyk's book |website=UCKG|date= 22 October 2015}}</ref>
