While we expect a roaring lion, he becomes a termite colony. Undermining the home. Infiltrating the church. Hijacking the language and confusing the saints with the fog of theological drift. Today the walls of community, school, church, and family are crumbling, leaving the saints exposed full force to winds of change. How can we resist the enticements of culture, the deflated values, and the subverted standards of our age?

Richard O'Ffill identifies the Trojan horses that threaten family and church today. The slavery of debt. The self-esteem movement. Unbelief. The shades-of-gray group and the if-it-isn't-broke-then-break-it crowd. The Bible taxidermists who preserve the form but deny the power.

The author suggests antidotes for disturbing trends in the church: too much comfort and too little challenge, lowered expectations and diminished standards. How does behavior relate to salvation? Is the church an organization or an organism? Do we need more truth and doctrine, or more gospel and felt needs? What does it mean to be separate from the world and to live to the glory of God?

Forewarned is forearmed. This book will provide insurance against Satan's many schemes to sabotage the faith.

Pastor Richard O’Ffill is an author, revivalist and seminar speaker. Since 1988 his sermons have been distributed nationally and internationally by American Cassette Ministries. He is bi-lingual having worked five years in the South American Division. Because one of the Holy Spirit’s thrusts in the last days is to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers, the direction of his ministry has become basic.

Burning within him is a desire to see families restored by God’s grace. This will be accomplished as God’s people learn and exercise the fruit of the Spirit on a daily basis in their homes.

As a husband, father and grandfather, Pastor O’Ffill knows from experience that the Christian life must be lived at home. Because the church is an extension of the home, revival must start in the home before the church experiences it.

Richard O’Ffill has authored six books including the best seller, Lord Keep Your Mansions, Just Save My Children." He has written two books on prayer: Transforming Prayer and If With All Your Heart – A God-seekers Guide to Effective Prayer. Transforming Prayer and Lord, Keep Your Mansions have been translated into Spanish.

Pastor O’Ffill has worked on three continents and his ministry includes seven years at the General Conference. Richard is a sought after camp meeting, men’s retreat and revival speaker whose themes include prayer, men’s issues, the family and practical Christian living. He is often seen on 3ABN television and the Hope Channel and is host of a weekly interview program for 3ABN radio.

Pastor O’Ffill is the father of four grown children and is proud of his eight grandchildren. His wife Betty is a secretary for the Adventist Health System. They reside in Orlando, Florida.
