Book Description

October 1993
Amazing the lies that can be spread via the internet when someone exposes those who are attacking the ministers of the church. I believed the reports about this book until I actually read it for myself. Mr. Spencer exposes the tactics many so called apoligists use to destroy legitmate ministries such as the Word of Faith preachers. Mr. Spencer does not defend the sins of Warnke, Tilton or Larson. He simply addresses the ungodly tactics used by so called Christians to destroy these ministers rather than restoring them in a spirit of meekness as the Bible calls for (Gal. 6:1). I for one am glad he wrote the book. Heresy Hunters are crying "injustice" when they are the ones doing the injustice by attacking the brethren with no real research, denominational prejudice, and out of context quotes. Expose them for their tactics and many of them will come after you as they did to this man. It's a shame how low we have stooped in the Body of Christ. These things should not be. I recommend buying this book as well his other book "Bleeding Heart and Propaganda: The Fall Of Reason In The Church. Also buy "E.W. Kenyon: The True Story" by Joe McIntyre and see how the things Kenyon has been accused of are untrue. Finally, also purchase "Christianity In Power" by Michael Bruno

5.0 out of 5 stars Heresy Hunters, June 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Heresy Hunters: Character Assassination in the Church (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that exposes many of the lies out there today bout certain Word-Faith teachers. While not excusing some of the bad things a few of them have done, Spencer approaches the subject with an honest and open heart. He shows how they've been misrepresented by people such as Hank Hanegraaf and John MacArthur who aren't concerned with Christian unity, but instead are concerned with ripping fellow Christian brethren apart. He exposes their lies when using peoples' quotes of of context and their blatant and ruthless attacks to misrepresent and do nothing more.

2.0 out of 5 stars James!, October 24, 2000
This review is from: Heresy Hunters: Character Assassination in the Church (Paperback)
One is left with the feeling that whilst in principle it is right to judge doctrine, even publicly, in practice there are not many ways of doing this without offending someone of James' sensibility. He feels that certain teachers have been unfairly criticised for their 'little gods' doctrine, yet the only evidence he offers for this is a very shallow comparison with the patristic doctrine of divinisation. He fails to reasonably demonstrate, with evidence, exactly what is wrong with the critiques that have been levelled at this teaching. One cannot help but feel that the author's run-in with the Tanners (ch. 6) is a bit of a sore spot which, because of the personal and sensitive issues involved, Spencer would have been wiser to have left alone. Having said that, there are helpful points which need to be heard by the 'heresy hunters', and they are very serious points to do with integrity and honesty. It is just unfortunate that the tone of the book seems to pander to those whose teachings raise the most concerns (hence the book's popularity at TBN) and comes across as a defence of Word-Faith etc. an approach which will only alienate those who need to hear some of its warnings.
