It seems from most of the previous reviews that the readers either love Hank Hanegraff or despise him. How strange. It seems that most of the negative reviews were actually personal attacks on the author and not directed toward his subject. I did not see a single negative review presenting an actual instance in which Mr. Hanegraff "lied". It seems as if they simply stated, "He lied," and left it at that. I would question if any of these readers had, in fact, actually read this book.
All that aside I can honestly tell you that this is a work of fact and not fiction. I left the "faith movement" a number of years ago. I once held to the teachings of men like Copeland, Hagin, Hinn and others until I placed their teachings up against the plumbline of scripture. I found that their teachings simply were not square.
The truth hurts. In an age of "easy believism" I guess it's just easier for some people to live for experience, after experience, after experience. These teachers preach a gospel of prosperity, comfort and healing for all. Any one who has read the bible knows that this is "a different gospel". In 1990 a believer in the "faith movement" actually had the audacity to tell me that my brother died of colon cancer because my family did not have enough faith. A simple study of the character of God proves this statement to be false.
I don't need to listen to Mr. Hanegraff's tapes to know that what he said about these false teachers is true. I have heard them say it with my own ears. Mr. Hanegraff is not a liar.
To those who follow the "faith movement" and it's dangerous teachings I would remind you of this one thing: "If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." Matt. 16:24
