Martin on cults and fringe churches, specifically written for Christian parents with a focus on how to keep children from joining such groups. The message of the book has been described as, "an alarm - that cults can come disguised with the trappings of evangelical Christianity."[1] The book was written after the author's own experience counseling thousands of former cult members at the Wellspring Retreat, as well as his experience with the group Great Commission International.[1] The book has been praised by Dr. Ronald Enroth as "A very practical tool for parents, counselors, youth leaders, and anyone else concerned about the potential dangers lurking in today's spiritual supermarket."[2]
