Idols in the House [Paperback]

Ted Flynn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 13, 2002

From the author of The Thunder of Justice and Hope of the Wicked:
Idols in the House
Is the greatest nation in the history of the earth climbing tragedy’s summit and about to tumble?

America once seemed unassailable, but suddenly our nation was assaulted by people filled with hatred and bent on our destruction. The threat of a terrorist assault always existed, but the viciousness and massive destruction of the attacks of September 11, 2001, served as a penetrating wake-up call to many Americans. They wanted to know how God could allow such a thing to happen to a country they believed to be so good and wholesome.

Is America a just and great nation in the eyes of God? Are there reasons God would allow the United States to be punished? If so, what are they? What needs to be done to avert such future punishment? What must this country do to right itself in the eyes of God?

Ted Flynn’s new book, Idols in the House, delves into these very matters. Using the history in the Bible, particularly regarding Israel, Flynn shows how God dealt with nations in the past that have turned their backs on Him. For what sins has God judged past civilizations? The United States claims to be "one nation under God," yet its laws and people have almost wholeheartedly embraced pagan idolatry and even barbaric practices. There is ample documented evidence in the book to support these claims. America is moving quickly toward the complete legalization of homosexual "unions" and cloning, the fruits of the "Culture of Death." Scandal and corruption abound among priests, ministers, seminarians and church hierarchy. These situations are directly opposed to the laws of God. How can a nation claim to be "under God," yet behave in ways so separated from His will? Would God allow such a country to carry on indefinitely which mocks Him by ignoring His precepts? Reading this book, one can only conclude that America is a post-Christian nation.

How did the United States arrive at this situation? Using irrefutable facts describing the fabric of modern America, Flynn asks probing questions and provides startling answers about the collapse of the traditional family, the skyrocketing use of drugs and alcohol—especially among children—the glamorization of sexual promiscuity—especially among children—and many other unseemly aspects of modern society. Reading this book compels the reader to ask:

How have America’s enemies subverted our morality and institutions from within?

Is the moral breakdown of our society a prelude to the end of our freedom?

Has the Lord removed the "protective hedge" from around America?

How does our collective response to God’s warning determine our future?

As the last great superpower, are America’s wings about to be clipped?

These questions and many more are answered in Idols in the House. It separates fact from what we see in the media. Order your copy today and learn how to help put America back on the path to God and peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wakeup Call to America or Whose Asleep at the Switch?, June 18, 2002

By

This review is from: Idols in the House (Paperback)

Reading this book reaffirms what I already feel in the pit of my stomach. America is in deep trouble. It takes no rocket scientist to appreciate that our borders are vulnerable. The Feds are unable to fulfill their primary responsibility under our Constitution. Everyday we hear through the media that our nation is going to get whacked and it is just a matter of time. Why? Ted Flynn asserts that America is not what it appears to be in the eyes of God. He does an excellent job in weaving, biblical scripture, historical facts and figures, subject matter expert (world renowned) analyses and church approved prophecies regarding the state of our nation, the church and its clergy, our families and ourselves. He apparently utilized material previously published in his last book "Hope of the Wicked" to augment his philosophical arguments that America's downfall is being engineered by globalists and other traitors who want to destroy our Constitution and usher in a New World Order. The review on the breakdown of the family, drugs and alcohol, internet and pornography alone are rather convincing. The book is relatively brief yet voluminous in knowledge. It is a real eye opener. The chapter titles and their sub-headings are rather instructive. Each one represents a theme or anecdote which the author presents effectively within the chapter. They sum up well the author's sentiment. The book pulls no punches. The world stage is being prepared for one hellacious dogfight. One will either be severely alarmed by all this or will `dish' it entirely. If you got the guts to read this book to its end, you will realize that Ted Flynn is the fireman ringing the alarm. He is a modern day prophet. But will anyone listen? Will anyone act?

1.0 out of 5 stars Not surprising, September 23, 2008

This review is from: Idols in the House (Paperback)

I had not noticed previously that this author had capitalized on 9/11 to try to sell another book. I've only read the product description, but it's clear that the theme is: "God is angry with America, therefore 9/11 occurred". I wonder if the author does any backpedalling on his mid-90's assertions that God is so angry with the world that a major "chastisement" would occur prior to the turn of the millenium (year 2000). I am guessing he either ignored his previous claims, or cherry-picked scipture or other previous religious sources to explain why his claims might have been "misconstrued", and his new ones should be accepted with certainty. I'm sure it's a fairly lucrative business if you can con the community of believers.
