__False prophets will come as wolves in sheep's clothing. They're known, not by their clothes-but by their fruits.__Victoria has always known how to hear God's voice. She's built her life around serving Him, faithfully following the teachings of The Ministry, a group she believes is doing heaven's work on earth.

But when whispers of abuse begin to echo through the ranks and the man she planned to marry grows distant, Victoria is forced to confront cracks in the perfect image she's clung to. Are these just attacks from the outside-or is something truly wrong within the group she's trusted for so long?

As she unearths a long-buried truth about her late mentor, Victoria finds herself at a crossroads. Staying silent would protect her position. Speaking out could cost everything.

For anyone who has questioned what they were taught in the name of God, this is a story of freedom, forgiveness, and fierce hope.

Inspired by true events, By Their Fruits is a powerful debut novel by Beth Sage exploring the quiet devastation of spiritual abuse and the courage it takes to break free.

For readers of The Book of Essie, Educated, and Girl at the End of the World, this is a moving story about unlearning control, reclaiming faith, and learning to listen for God's voice-after the wolves have spoken in His name.
