They Lie in Wait to Deceive by Robert & Rosemary Brown is one of the most important and meticulously researched defenses of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ever published. This rare complete 4-volume set, printed between 1992 and 1995, boldly investigates, documents, and exposes the methods, falsehoods, and deliberate distortions used by some of the most influential anti-Mormon writers of the 20th century.

Rather than debate theology, the Browns focus on uncovering the credibility—or lack thereof—behind the critics. Using primary documentation, interviews, and original source materials, the authors reveal how high-profile antagonists such as Ed Decker (The God Makers), Jerald and Sandra Tanner, Walter Martin, Dee Jay Nelson, and others misrepresented historical facts, fabricated credentials, selectively quoted sources, and relied on misinformation to attack the Latter-day Saint faith. Each volume dissects the careers and claims of these critics, presenting side-by-side comparisons of what they said versus what the historical record actually shows.

Latter-day Saint scholars, missionaries, and members have long treasured this series as a powerful apologetic tool, helping them answer questions, defend their faith, and recognize deceptive tactics still used today in online forums, books, and documentaries. Complete sets are exceedingly hard to find—especially in such collectible condition—making this offering a valuable acquisition for LDS historians, collectors, and anyone seeking answers to anti-Mormon claims.

Whether you’re preparing for a mission, responding to criticism, or simply strengthening your testimony, They Lie in Wait to Deceive provides truth, context, and confidence. This set stands as a reminder that facts matter—and that those who attack the Church must be held accountable to the truth.

Robert and Rosemary Brown were deeply committed Latter-day Saints and independent researchers best known for their pioneering work in exposing pseudo-scholarship and misinformation directed at the Church. Motivated not by academic recognition but by a desire to defend truth, they spent years compiling original source documents, interviewing key figures, and fact-checking anti-Mormon claims at a level of detail few others attempted.

Their approach was unique: rather than argue doctrine, the Browns focused on verifying credentials, analyzing methodology, and testing historical accuracy. Their work revealed repeated cases of misquotation, fabricated expertise, and deliberate manipulation by some of the most prominent critics of the LDS faith. Widely circulated in apologetic circles and used by missionaries and scholars alike, They Lie in Wait to Deceive has become a classic in modern LDS defense literature. The Browns’ legacy lives on as one of courage, persistence, and unwavering commitment to truth and fairness in religious discourse.
