Riplinger's exhaustive research once again benefits all within Christ's church who love the word. If any nay sayers disagree, they should check her sources and give references to refute her, not just trash-talk.

She's not saying that everyone needs to learn English to have a pure preserved word of God, but that all pure preserved translations come from the same source--hence the similarities of the Geneva, Bishops, and earlier Bibles. She has also mentioned a Vaudois (French) bible, Luther's German bible, and a spanish bible as being in the line of pure preserved translations. The point is that God can and does preserve His Word even through copies of copies of copies for each generation.

Don't take Gail's word for it. Do your own research. Prove it beyond a shadow of any doubt. Ask God for truth. That's what I did, and I came to a similar conclusion: God's Word preserved in English, is the King James Bible.

I learned a ton from this book. The layout is a little awkward to get used to at first, but the research about the texts and the amount of time GA Riplinger put into her work must have been a ton.

You will learn about the meter of the KJV, the source of the texts as she always discusses. But behind her support for the KJV she now goes backwards and shows how the Wycliffe Bible, the Saxon Bible and the Gothic Bible all agreed or fit with the KJV.

You will also learn about men who were important to bringing us the KJV including two very important figures, Wycliffe and Erasmus. She devotes almost 100 pages to Erasmus' life and teachings and how he was persecuted for his beliefs.

This is an amazing book for Biblical Research. If you are interested in delving more deeply into the workings of textual criticism, Riplinger's book will be a great guide to get you through it.

An excellent and detailed work of study.
I can think of no aspect concerning the Bible that this author has not studied in detail.
It is particularly significant at this time as the many translations of the bible are causing not only divisions in the Christian church but confusion as well.

People slam Riplinger, but she is right on about the AV being God's Word in English.

Yet another book by Mrs. Riplinger that provides Christians with the ammunition to give an answer to the King James Bible critics.

Definitively worth the price!

This volume needs to be in the library of every serious student of God's magnificent Word!

Presented in textbook style (a bit hard to follow at first, but hang in there, you'll catch on quickly), Sis. Riplinger shows us again and again the Master's hand upon the King James Bible.

Please don't let the naysayers discourage you from purchasing this insightful volume! Find out for yourself that the attacks on Sis. Riplinger's scholarship are wholly without foundation. This book is exhaustively researched, and a prayerful, thorough check of many of her source materials brought this one-time skeptic to the same conclusions Sis. Riplinger so simply and beautifully outlines.

If you desire a deeper "dig at the Rock", this book will be a valuable tool.

Gail Riplinger does an excellent job explaining the differences between the KJV and many modern Bible versions. If you would like to sample the differences and see for yourself, use the link below.

Excellent resource for anyone who loves the word of God. Very well documented, I've personally verified many of the references and find her material spot on.

The author uses three methods to prove the King James is preserved Word of God. Illustration, history, and the Bible's self-proclamation. The illustrative techniques cited (linguistics, self definition) are nice, but provide circumstantial evidence that the case of infallibility cannot be built upon. The history in this book is more exhaustive than any author I have read on the subject, for or against the King James. But I believe the case rests on the very faith we have in Christ. If we belive our soveriegn Lord and Saviour to be who he claims, if we can entrust the fate of our very souls to his divine care, then we can trust his claim to preserve every word of his holy book to every generation.

When we first took a stand for the King James Bible many years ago, it never occurred to us that "King James-Only" meant "no Greek and no Hebrew." It was upon reading Gail Riplinger's most recent book, In Awe of Thy Word, that we discovered that the term "KJV-Only" was to be taken literally. It means that the King James Bible alone is divinely inspired, perfect and superior to all other translations and texts, including the Greek Textus Receptus and the Hebrew Masoretic Text.

In Awe of Thy Word is both a broadside attack on the Greek Textus Receptus and an introduction to Kabbalah, which is Jewish occultism. Yet the heretical nature of Riplinger's book goes undetected by many in the King James-Only community probably because her best-seller, New Age Bible Versions, seemed to uphold the Textus Receptus as the standard text for New Testament translation. When it became apparent that Gail Riplinger had done a volte face on the superiority of the Greek Textus Receptus, it was time for us to reexamine her teachings and to confront many false teachings of King James Onlyism; for there appears to be a "conspiracy of silence" among KJV-Only leaders as Gail takes the movement to a new level of heresy.

This extensive and long overdue expose reveals the multitude of outright lies in Gail Riplinger's books, her shameless misquoting of sources and manipulation of data, her revision of Church history, her subtle teaching of Jewish occultism and her lack of a Christian testimony. Mrs. Riplinger also promotes Bible translations that are not based on the Byzantine text she pretends to champion, but based on the corrupt Alexandrian manuscripts she purports to condemn. She also misrepresents the heretics who used these corrupt bibles as the "true Christians" who preserved the Traditional Text. As she legitimizes corrupt bibles and false religions, Gail trashes the Greek Textus Receptus as well as Greek and Hebrew resources that enable Christians to determine the accuracy of various Bible translations. Instead of encouraging the use of Greek and Hebrew resources to understand the meanings of the words in Scripture, Gail teaches her readers how to divine "letter meanings" Kabbalistically.

Having investigated the endtime deception for well over a decade we thought we had seen everything; however, the sophisticated web of lies, manipulated data and false teachings put out by Gail Riplinger surpasses them all. We urge the reader to take time to read this important report, and to "prove all things" by checking our documentation of the many lies in Riplinger's publications and the massive fraud that is King James Onlyism.
