The book recounts the history of The True Faith Church of Ghana (TFCG) and The Saviour Church of Ghana (TSCG) after the death of the founder Samuel Brako. It focuses on the administration of Elder Isaac Kwadwo Asirifi who succeeded Samuel Brako and the succession struggle that ensued between the two factions that tried to succeed Elder Isaac Asirifi after his death in 1997. The book also covers the misunderstanding between Elder Isaac Asirifi and Elders Stephen Doughan, Peter Mensah aka Obotan and Kwame Seth of Pra River. It also covers power struggles in the True Faith Church of Ghana (TFCG). It focuses particularly on the decisions by Apostles Samson Gyasi Yamoah, Joseph Brobbey, Paul Anokwa and Jeremiah Gyampo Awuah to break away from the TFCG. It also addresses the relationship between Apostle Abraham Nsiah and Bishop Joseph Ampadu which led to the formation of Faith Salvation Church of Ghana (FSCG) and the many schisms that FSCG has also suffered.
It highlights the death of Bishop Joseph Ampadu in 2009 and the power struggle that took place between the supporters of Apostle John Owusu Achiaw and Pastor Moses Appah which led to the formation of True Faith Evangelical Church. It examines the administration of Apostle John Owusu Achiaw, his death and the politics of appointing a successor to replace him. It focuses on the New Generation True Faith Church International (NGTFCI) one of the denominations that emerged after the death of Bishop Ampadu.
The book examines the underlying causes of the schisms, the consequences of the power struggles and attempt by certain individuals to unite the dismembered church. It considers the relationship between the True Faith Church of Ghana and the New Patriotic Party as well as The Saviour Church of Ghana and the National Democratic Congress. Since the death of Brako, both denominations have developed key institutions to aid the running of the church and the book covers these institutions as well as the changes that have emerged in both denominations since they went their separate ways. Finally, the book covers attempts by the TSCG and the TFCG to embark on socio-economic development particularly in the area of health, education and agriculture.
