Overview

"Throughout the generations, false prophets and insincere teachers have pretended to have the best interests of God's people in mind. They claim they are human instruments who have received direct words of the Lord through the Holy Spirit. But in the final analysis, they do not represent God, and they harm the sheep often to the point of costing them their souls. Who are these deceitful shepherds and how can we distinguish a true shepherd from wolves in shepherd's clothing? That is the question Pastor Tavares Robinson explores in Shepherds, Hirelings and Dictators: How to Recognize the Difference. In this new tenth-anniversary edition, Pastor Robinson takes the reader on a Biblical journey as he addresses many of today's toughest issues surrounding dishonest shepherds: Is it biblical to judge our Christian leaders and shepherds? How can Christians discern unbiblical teachings and really know when a shepherd is leading them astray? What are common characteristics and messages of false shepherds? How do the ""prosperity gospel,"" ""first fruits offerings"" and other common messages from pulpits across the globe align with scripture and the gospel of Christ? All these issues and many more are hit head-on by Pastor Robinson in his challenging, but yet encouraging book."

If you want to be cured you will not argue about the taste of the medicine... Deception is rampant in the church. We must confront it boldly, without fear, and Shepherds, Hirelings and Dictators helps us do just that. Pastor Robinson does not waste or mince his words and he makes no apologies for telling the truth that needs to be heard in these days of apostasy. This book is an excellent and much needed source written by a godly pastor who loves the body of Christ and yet sees a massive apostasy and departure from the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. Most of this has to do with predators in the pulpit who are like savage wolves, preying upon undiscerning souls. Robinson has written a timely book that should be read by those who want the whole truth. Each chapter is filled with vital truths that will help the reader develop discernment. Let me request that if you know someone following a hireling, please consider giving them a copy of this book. God can use it to set the person free from deception. I heartily endorse this book and hope that it will be widely read. Study it. Buy an extra copy and give it to your pastor-David C. Cooke, aflame4God Ministries, Richmond, Virginia
