Defiance! is an historical work which takes you back through history beginning in the time of Egyptians, through the Roman Empire, covering the enemies within and without the Church up through the 20th Century to present time. Fr. Esper identifies the more prominent historical precursors of the Antichrist, many of whom were important in a military or political sense, but others who have also had great influences in the fields of philosophy, psychology, science, economics, entertainment, the occult, and even religion. In their rise to power and then their eminent fall we are reminded that God and only God is in control. The signs of the times are all around us and that makes Fr. Esper's book a very timely and hope-filled, resource. We know all things work for good for those who love God (Rom 8:28).Paperback 280 pages
