Savage Wolves: Guarding the Flock Through Intimacy with God
They don't announce themselves.
False teachers don't arrive carrying error in plain sight. They come with the Word in their mouths, warmth in their voices, and sheep's clothing on their backs. Paul warned the Ephesian elders with tears: Savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock - and some will rise from among your own.
That warning was not written for another century. It was written for this one.
In Savage Wolves, pastor and evangelist Ken Turner traces five weapons the wolf carries into the flock - the blade that twists the Word, the poison that corrupts one dose at a time, the water that carries a believer away from first love, the empty form that replaces the face of God with a mirror - and arrives at the one defense that holds when all the others fail: intimacy with God Himself, purchased by the blood of the covenant.
This book does not begin with the wolf. It begins at the Table - because before you can feel the weight of what is being stolen, you must first understand what the blood purchased. Drawing from Acts 20, Hebrews 10, Isaiah 29, Revelation 2, and the lives of Enoch, Abraham, and David, Savage Wolves makes the case that the sheep who stays near the Shepherd is the sheep the wolf cannot permanently take.
The wolf is real. The Shepherd is greater. And the blood is still speaking.
