The Secret Rebellion is written to confront and challenge the reader, regarding the areas of their lives that they have not fully surrendered to God. It also delves into exploring the meaning of this hidden rebellion against God and its effects. It begins with an idyllic story of a young gentleman who seems like a good man. But he ends up losing everything because he left his master's house. The remainder of the book follows this pattern, exploring how we might appear right even when we are in rebellion against God. The book finishes up by revealing the cure that can be found in God, and God's desire for us.
