With the rise of the Religious Right in the United States and the presidency of George W. Bush, the issue of what evangelical Christians believe and how this affects their behaviour and attitudes has never been more relevant. Britain, too, has been governed for the past decade by one of the most devout prime ministers of recent years, and religious issues such as the rights and wrongs of faith schools are never far from the front pages. Trust and Obey is a flares-and-all account of a Christian childhood in the 70s, an overly devout adolescence in the 80s and the end of faith in the 90s.

Neil Bennett was born in Canada in 1969, to British parents, and returned with them to the UK in 1972. Grammar school educated, he studied modern languages at university before briefly teaching English in Greece and then embarking on a career as a translator. He now lives a happily secular life with his wife and young son in Luxembourg, where he works for the European Union.
