This review is from: Releasing Heaven on Earth: God's Principles for Restoring the Land (Paperback)

Let your Kingdom come on Earth - As it is in Heaven, Lord! If your prayer is 2 Chronicles 7:14 - "If my people would humble themselves and pray...and I will HEAL THEIR LAND", then this book is a must read!!! What DOES healing the land encompass? Does the land mourn over sin? What are the blessings that come to the land when it is healed? Alistair has done a great job teaching on this and I recommend buying several copies of this book to share with others. God truly does want to bring restoration to the people AND the land!A++++++~~~~~<*}}}><~~~~~

1.0 out of 5 stars Not So Heavenly, September 16, 2002

This review is from: Releasing Heaven on Earth: God's Principles for Restoring the Land (Paperback)

'Releasing Heaven on Earth' by Alistair Petrie has been lauded in evangelical and charismatic circles as God's message for the Church today.However I feel Alistair Petrie's book contains extra-biblical teaching (such as ley lines which are supposedly "conduits through which spiritual power is transmitted for spiritual authority and which provide `feeding troughs' from which an infrastructure of the demonic can nourish itself and be granted authority in any given area; the use of consecrated salt as "a prophetic act on a symbolic basis that has an effect in the spiritual realm", identificational repentance which is required to atone for the consequences of generational sin that can influence the person and his life and his nation, Holy Communion to cleanse the land, etc..) I also noted the misuse of Scripture in the book. What is perhaps most troubling is that the focus is on man (his intercession, prayer, cleansing of the land, repentance, obedience, etc to bring victory over sin) and not on what Christ has accomplished on the cross. I feel the author's teaching robs the Lord of glory and distorts the gospel.
What was very surprising to me were the endorsements from well-known leaders concerning the content of this book. Though no theologian myself, I cannot in good conscience recommend this book because of the errors I believe it contains.
