Almost twenty years ago, Hank Hanegraaff wrote the book Christianity in Crisis to alert the world to the cultic movement within Christianity. At the time, there were dangers enough, but with this updated version, Mr. Hanegraaff exposes newer and even more insidious leaders among this community. These men and women that are exposed for their heresy in this book are not someone that no one has ever heard, but very popular preachers.
As I read this book, I was aghast at the claims that some of these so-called prosperity preachers espoused. They have the audacity to say that God can do nothing on this earth unless someone gives Him the authority! To think that for one moment God needs our permission to do anything is simply asinine. The Almighty does NOT need my permission, and He is not some genie in a bottle that we can rub the magic lamp for Him to do as we tell Him to do!
This is a book that I would recommend to anyone who is curious to know what people are teaching today in their "crystal palaces." It exposes this men and women as the frauds that they are. These are not people following God's Word, but bastardizing it. The tragedy of it all is that many will follow these false prophets straight to hell. Wake up, America! There is only one Savior, and that is Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. No man, woman, boy or girl will go to Heaven except they repent of their sins, and accept Him as their Savior! (John 14:1-6)
Pros: Should be used as a text book in seminaries across America.
Cons: It often reads like a text book.
