The importance of orthodoxy-which is agreed upon doctrines defining the Christian faith-is emphasized and pursued as if undertaking a journey, a search to discover Biblical truths. Throughout history the Church has endured continuous spiritual attacks spearheaded by the Devil and implemented by many false prophets who have gone out into the world to undermine the gospel of Jesus Christ. The lost-those who are separated from God-have been led astray, falling victim to lies that claim there is no judgment, and they tragically continue treading down a broad road leading to their destruction. Spiritual attacks on the Church are not without purpose. In fact, it is prophesized that in the end times a fallen apostate church will become the Whore of Babylon, spewing heresy and encouraging the worship of the Antichrist. Only a remnant, the true Christian church, tells the truth about sin, judgment, and hell. God's forgiveness and salvation are also found in the search for orthodoxy, and God's forgotten requirement of man's repentance, which leads to eternal life, is rediscovered. 'Searching for Orthodoxy: A Layman's Guide to Eternal Life' is an effort to revitalize the hearts of wayward Christians and plant the seeds of God's word in those who don't have faith to believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. As an evangelist and chaplain, Steve O'Dell serves at a local gospel rescue mission and follows God's lead as he goes into the homeless camps to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. He graduated from Concordia College in Austin, Texas, with an emphasis in theology and was ordained as a deacon in the Church, which uniquely qualifies him to write with an evangelical emphasis. Steve's first two books, 'I Was a Captain in the Lord's Army' and 'The Nephilim Project: A Demon's Chronicle,' were Christian fiction novels, but his third work takes a hard look at failing apostate Christian churches. He gives special attention to the book's subtitle, 'A Layman's Guide to Eternal Life,' because Jesus has warned us that many are on the road that leads to destruction. Steve O'Dell prays that many will read 'Searching for Orthodoxy' so one will be able to identify the many false prophets who have gone out into the world. More importantly, he hopes this book will enable readers to answer the most important questions in their lives-'What must I do to be saved?'
