Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moonies like most of the new religious movements of the sixties and seventies are a pale reflection of their former selves, but the problem they addressed is still very much with us: for most people the church does not represent the will of God well, if at all. These are the real stories of a non-Christian confronting Christians. I present this in the spirit of love for all Christians, as I am now one of you.

Download or read book Unmasking the Cults written by Alan W. Gomes and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this introduction to the Zondervan Guide to Cults and Religious Movements, Dr. Gomes defines the characteristics of a "cult of Christianity" and why such a group subverts the search for spiritual truth. He explains the emotional and spiritual appeal of cults, who is susceptible, and the techniques cult leaders use to attract members. This book, in dealing with a wide range of issues relating to cults and religious movements in general, complements the other books in the series, all of which focus on specific religious groups. -- Why this series? This is an age when countless groups and movements, old and new, mark the religious landscape in our culture, leaving many people confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because few people have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, these books provide essential information and insights for their spiritual journeys. Except for this book, each book in the series has five sections: - A concise introduction to the group - An overview of the group's theology -- in its own words - Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group - A bibliography with sources for further study - A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group -- The writers of these volumes are well qualified to present clear and reliable information and help us discern religious truth from falsehood.

Download or read book Secrets of the Cults written by Thomas McCarroll and published by . This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets of the Cults by Dr. Thomas E. McCarroll exposes the ugly truth about cults, their histories and heretical teachings. Learn how the false doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons), the Jehovah Witnesses, and the New Age Movement share three marked similarities; and see how these similarities are far removed from the Christian faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Dr. McCarroll, through years of education and extensive research, addresses how the first cults were established and how today's cults mirror those of the early days when the Gnostics and Arians challenged the Church. His candid and superbly written narration exposes the hidden histories of their leaders and how to spot this false system of beliefs that so many present-day, modern "religions" gear towards. This book is a powerful tool for ministers, teachers, Bible students, and anyone who wishes to learn what cults believe and how they deviate dramatically from the true Christian faith. Author Bio: Dr. Tom McCarroll has BA degrees in Christianity, English, and in Secondary Education. He also has graduate degrees from Heart of America Christian Seminary where he received a MA in Theology and a ThD in Pastoral Theology. He has written two books on major cults and is currently working on two other books. Dr. McCarroll travels and ministers worldwide. He and his wife, Dea, have four children and live in Indiana.
