This review is from: The Love of Power or the Power of Love: A Careful Assessment of the Problems Within the Charismatic and Word-Of-Faith Movements (Paperback)
As one who has spent some 35 years in charismatic churches - both independent and Anglican - I would say that any charismatic of any denomination or none can save themselves a lot of heartache and confusion by reading this book.
It is written from a sympathetic viewpoint by well-educated and experienced charismatics, and it raises clearly a number of serious doctrinal and practical issues that have plagued the charismatic subculture for years, and offers some solutions. Its style falls somewhere between popular and scholarly writing, so it isn't a light read, and the book isn't perfect: the chapter on demonology, for instance, makes a few good points but is rife with confused thinking and self-contradiction. But it is certainly a show-stopper in places. I recommend it highly for charismatics. Nobody else will get much out of it, though.
