Robert L. and Rosemary Brown; Barbara Beckstead Ellsworth (Editor), Gail A. Gibson, (Art Direction). Mesa, Arizona: Brownsworth Publishing Company, Inc., 1995, 7x10 softbound, 358 pages.

John Edward Decker has proven himself to be exceptional in the field of anti-Mormon endeavors. Teaming up with other well known anti-Mormons such as the late "Dr." Walter Martin, Ed Decker distinguished himself by not only publishing some of the most absurd anti-Mormon literature to ever assault the public, but raised anti-Mormonism to a furor level by starring in and producing a film (The Godmakers) that inflamed the public (both foreign and domestic). The National Conference of Christians and Jews (NCCJ), in reviewing the film, declared it to be "religious pornography." Mr. Decker excelled in the use of innuendo to put his misleading information into the public arena. Like the anti-Mormons in preceding volumes of They Lie In Wait To Deceive, Mr. Decker did not hesitate to use the false credentials of people in order to promote his disinformation about the LDS Church. The purpose of Volume IV is to expose the deceit of professional anti-Mormons J. Edward (Ed) Decker (major producer of The Godmakers film), Richard (Dick) Baer (major participant and sometimes referred to as co-producer), Jerald and Sandra Tanner, John L. Smith, and other self-
proclaimed authorities on LDS Church. As in the preceding volumes, the authors have merely taken the liberty to check out the claims made by these anti-Mormons.

When deception is uncovered, the logical question to ask is "why?" The answer to this question is answered in this and previous volumes of They Lie In Wait To Deceive. That you may not be deceived is our prayer and the end to which this and the preceding volumes were written.

Review: "The ultimate weapon for investigators and converts. "They Lie In Wait to Deceive" Vol. 4 exposes perhaps the worst anti-Mormon book and films ever written (made) against the church. It tells mostly who Ed Decker and Dick Baer really are, and the motives behind them. I joined the church back in February of 1995 at the age of 19, and my family almost was going to make me watch the Godmakers. Fortunately I found this book, and also The Truth About "The Godmakers" by Gilbert Scharffs. They helped me out a long way so that if the Godmakers or any other anti-Mormon cleric were ever to be thrown in my face again. I rejoiced to see the sheeps clothing pulled off of them crafty wolves! I strongly recommend this book, Scharff's book, and all the other volumes of this one to anybody investigating the church against the wishes of an unsupportive family, and to recent converts in the same circumstances." --Mike Ford, Jan. 1, 2002 (Deseret Bookstore customer.)
