MEDIA ADVISORY, July 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is released by the author of "Deceivers & False Prophets Among Us," Todd Tomasella:

Apostasy and treason at the highest levels of human leadership abound and clearly confirm the times we now live in as we look expectantly for the return of our LORD and Savior. From apostate Carlton Pearson to Todd Bentley, to the epidemic of money-mongers, manipulating deceivers and false teachers are in the headlines and proliferating in this late hour. Of the last days before Christ's return, the LORD prophetically promised that "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." (2 Tim. 3:13)

In the wake of a gross lack of attention to the doctrinal purity of Holy Writ, multitudes are being swept away in the tidal wave of spurious and deceptive teachings flooding the church world today.

This book, "Deceivers & False Prophets Among Us," stands as a living and monumental witness, addressing the grave danger of deception, and establishing the need for sound Bible learning and teaching among the remnant of God's people, lest we be "led astray" and "destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hos. 4:6; 2 Pet. 3:17)

As we begin to peer closely into the Word of God and look at the church world in this hour, we may discover "seducing spirits" working feverishly, utilizing "doctrines of devils" to distort and tear down the true image and holy purpose of the living God. The truth and image of the LORD is what the enemy seeks to pervert, in the hearts of all humanity, namely among the Saints of the most High (1 Tim. 4:1-6). His aim with these "damnable heresies" is to get men to worship at the altar of false gods, namely the altar of self-love (Ex. 20:3-4; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 2 Pet. 2:1-3). Unrepentant, unsanctified human agents have answered the call of evil, as "deceitful workers." (2 Cor. 11:3) They have enlisted themselves due to self-service and self-will, and work in our midst as undercover emissaries of the evil one, cleverly teaching such things as are contrary to Holy Scripture and thereby leading multitudes astray.
