Book Review

So I asked to do a book review for Thomas Nelson Publishing.  They have a program.  They view your blog, you get approved(which thanks by the way to the publisher, my blog is worthy of approval), you request a book, you review it.

Sounds good, let’s go.

I had a couple of choices to choose from.  I didn’t want to go with a self-help book, and forgive me but I passed on the Max Lucado as well.  Not because I don’t like him or get anything out of his books.  I just wanted to be challenged.  Taken out of my comfort zone.  I wanted something that was going to make me think about it long after I put it down.  Which don’t send the hate email my way.  Mr. Lucado’s books can challange you.  I just wanted to go down a different path this time.

So here is my choice.

Taken from the website:

Without a shift in perception and perspective, the church is in horrifying danger.

Nearly two decades ago Hank Hanegraaff’s award-winning Christianity in Crisis alerted the world to the dangers of a cultic movement within Christianity that threatened to undermine the very foundation of biblical faith. But in the 21st century, there are new dangers—new teachers who threaten to do more damage than the last.

These are not obscure teachers that Hanegraaff unmasks. We know their names. We have seen their faces, sat in their churches, and heard them shamelessly preach and promote the false pretexts of a give-to-get gospel. They are virtual rock stars who command the attention of presidential candidates and media moguls.

Christianity in Crisis: 21st Century exposes darkness to light, pointing us back to a Christianity centered in Christ.

My thoughts so far:

Yeah, this one will grab me from the first page, as it jumps right into *cults*.  After I get the book, which is on the way, I’ll read it, and post a review.
