Imagine a hospital where the lead surgeon was a carefully hidden serial killer who got pleasure and made money from bringing slow and excruciating death to his victims. Imagine a hospital where evidence about this murderer was beginning to mount. His acts were becoming clear. People were crying out in pain at what he was doing, yet, in spite of all the evidence, almost the entire staff continued to defend him, even blaming his victims for their wounds and throwing them out of the hospital to fend for themselves. Those who were trying to speak the truth were thrown out too. Sound insane? That is what is happening within many churches and Christian organizations. Most Christians don't know how to recognize spiritual wolves, nor do they even have the desire to do so. Though wolves may be mauling, Christians turn blind eyes to their attacks, allowing the damage to continue and the cause of Jesus Christ to suffer great loss. In the process, the wounded victims are further victimized by the attitudes of ignorant, cowardly people. This book has been written to help those brave people who are willing to stand against the evil that is sweeping through the church.
