Product Description
On Christian television, in pulpits, seminars and books, a growing number of church leaders are spreading distorted doctrines that undermine the very core of Biblical Christianity. Hanegraaff exposes the surprising blasphemies and widespread teachings and gets to the root of false teachings that are endangering unwary followers.

A great book and very needful, the author has a very clear style of writing which is easy to understand. I knew that people like Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland were not representing the Lord through their teaching but I didn't realise how blasphemous they were. Hank clearly documents actual quotes from these "faith teachers" and if you are a Christian it won't take long for you to see how dangerous and unbiblical these teachings are. Benny Hinn, Kenneth copeland, Morris Cerrulo and many others are rightly exposed in this book as the bringers of blasphemous deception. The authors heart and mine go out to all those genuine brothers and sisters in Christ who have been led astray by these doctrines, please read this book, the author has done a very great service to the church.

I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST IN 1992. AT THAT TIME, I WAS SO GREEN IN THE WAY OF KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. I HAD LIVED LIFE AS A DOPE FIEND AND AN ALCOHOLIC. NOW, AS A BABY CHRISTIAN I WAS WILLING TO BELIEVE ANYTHING I HEARD CONCERNING JESUS....INCLUDING KENNETH COPELAND AND FRED PRICE. WHILE NOT EVERYTHING THESE TEACHERS SAY IS FALSE, A MAJORITY OF WHAT THEY DO TEACH IS LACED WITH A REAL EAR TICKLING LIE. THIS BOOK REVEALED TO ME HOW THESE TEACHERS MANPULATE THE SOVEREIGN WORD OF THE LIVING GOD TO MAKE THE BELIEVER THINK THAT WE ARE GOD.....THAT GOD IS OUR SERVANT....THAT ANYTHING WE ASK FOR IN JESUS'S NAME WE MUST HAVE BECAUSE "GOD IS BOUND BY HIS WORD". THE WHOLE "NAME IT AND CLAIM IT" BELIEF SYSTEM TAKES GOD'S SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY AND PLACES IT IN THE HANDS OF SELFISH AND GREEDY PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ACTUALLY DESERVE MORE THAN WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN TO THEM.....ETERNAL LIFE. I AM GRATEFUL TO HANK AND THIS BOOK BECAUSE I ALMOST LEFT THE CHURCH BECAUSE OF THOSE WHO TOLD ME THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH. IF THE NAME IT AND CLAIM IT TEACHINGS WERE TRUTH,WE WOULD NEVER GET SICK, WE WOULD ALWAYS BE RICH, AND WE WOULD NEVER DIE. MY ONLY CRITISISM OF THIS BOOK IS THAT IT SEEMS THAT HANK IS A LITTLE BIT AROGANT IN THE WAY HE REVEALS THE LIES. I LOVE YA' HANK! BUT I THINK YOU WILL REACH MORE OF THE MISLED IF YOU HAVE MORE LOVE IN YOUR REBUKES. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK OF HANK AS AROGANT AND ARGUMENTATIVE BUT HE HAS A STRONG GRASP OF THE WORD AND UNDERSTANDS THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD. I LISTEN TO HIS RADIO PROGRAM MOST EVERYDAY AND I CAN SEE WHY HE IS CONTROVERSIAL. I CHALLENGE ALL TO LISTEN TO HANK'S RADIO SHOW FOR 30 DAYS. HE CAN LEAD YOU THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES TRUTHFULLY. BY THE WAY, HE IS A CHARASMATIC WHO BELIEVES IN SUPERNATURAL GIFTS. BUT HE DOES HOWEVER BELIEVE WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THE MASTER.....NOT ON WHAT IS ON THE MASTER'S TABLE.

An excellent follow-up to the book
21 April 1999
After reading the book and finding some of the quotes almost unbelievable, I had to get the audio book and hear it for myself. I did, and recommend to anyone who reads/listens to this work, check out the assertions in light of Scripture. As a former "health & wealth gospel" believer, I was very dismayed that I had fallen for such a false doctrine and fell forward (not backward) in repentance. Furthermore, as a result of having the blinders removed, I have launched into an inductive study of the Bible. Christianity in Crisis is truly liberating.

A "GOTTA HAVE"

This is an incredible, eye-opening exposé of a movement that is trans-denominational and is devouring Christians with the rapidity of a wildfire. Ironically, one of the reviewers condemns it as saying it is limiting the Holy Spirit, but this is simply not true. Hanegraaff himself is a Charismatic so he hardly wants to do that. Instead, it's a movement that puts words in Holy Spirit's mouth, claiming He has revealed things to them that are CLEARLY against the Bible.
This is not a Charismatic/non-Charismatic issue at all. It is spreading into so many churches that you owe it to yourself to find out about it. In the audio book, you can actually HEAR these teachers making statements like, "The greatest failure in the Bible is God" (Kenneth Copeland) and Paul Crouch's threat against anyone who demands an adherence to sound doctrine (who he calls "heretic hunters"), "I think they're damned and on their way to hell; and I don't think there's any redemption for them." And of course, who could ever forget Hinn's rewrite of Job 1:21, "You know what? We've said this a million times and it's not even scriptural -- all because of Job: 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord'. I have news for you: that is not Bible, that's not Bible. The Lord giveth and NEVER taketh away." Guess God was wrong when He inspired the writer to say, "In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing" in the very next verse.
When you listen to the first tape, your jaw will fall open at what is being taught out there in TV land and on the radio...and you'll be even more amazed at how many people are gobbling it up (lots of itching ears, huh? 2 Timothy 4:3). One of the best things you can do for yourself is to get this audiobook!
