At fifteen, Vince Manuele was drawn into Mark Driscoll’s Trinity Church, where one innocent moment with Driscoll’s daughter led to exile, surveillance, and silencing. Rather than stay quiet, Vince spoke openly, and his story soon caught the attention of reporters documenting the toxic culture within Trinity.

“The Manuele family was surveilled and shunned for questioning the church,” reported The Roys Report, one of several outlets that highlighted his experience. Vince’s willingness to speak became a rare inside look into a system that demanded silence and loyalty at all costs.

Kiss and Tell is his unflinching account of what really happened inside Trinity. Vince lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and continues to write and speak with the conviction that silence protects abusers, never the truth.
