Many have noticed that the spiritual condition of this generation is comparable to the days of Noah, but few have understood how such apostasy came about. How did so many denominations become apostate in the last hundred years? Why do seventy-four percent of our people claim to be saved without this having a more positive effect on our crumbling society? Why do so many preachers commit immorality? Why do our churches seem unable to hold on to most of their young people? Why no major revival for over ninety years? This book gives an answer to those questions.

Hymers, Jr. is a graduate of the California State University at Los Angeles (B.A.), Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, Southern Baptist (M.Div.),San Francisco Theological Seminary, United Presbyterian (D.Min.), and Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary, Baptist Bible Fellowship (Th.D.). He and his wife, Ileana, are the parents of twin sons, Robert Leslie III and John Wesley. Dr. Hymers worked with Southern Baptist churches for many years.

Dr. Hymers is the founding pastor of the Fundamentalist Baptist Tabernacle, the only Baptist church in the civic center of Los Angeles. Known for his strong stand for biblical inerrancy and inner-city evangelism, Dr. Hymers is an unashamed old-time fundamentalist, who earnestly contends for the faith in the tradition of J. Frank Norris, John R. Rice, Bob Jones, Sr., and "Fighting Bob" Shuler. He has been in the ministry for over forty years.

He was a teaching assistant in mathematics at UCLA for several years prior to his conversion. He is also a graduate of Talbot Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and the Claremont Graduate School (M.A., Ph.D.). His second Ph.D. dissertation was written on the subject of apologetics. He is a published expert in the field of stock market analysis, and is currently employed as a statistical analyst. Dr. Cagan's wife, Judith, is a medical doctor. They are the parents of two boys, John Samuel and David. Dr. Cagan is the director of education at the Fundamentalist Baptist Tabernacle. He has been Dr. Hymers' associate for more than twenty years.

This book adresses some real issues of the crumbling Church,
By A Customer
This review is from: Today's Apostasy : How Decisionism is Destroying Our Churches (Paperback)
We as Americans embrace Christianity but why do we live in a nation filled with unspeakable crimes? The book answered many questions for me concerning the apparent spiritual morass of our country and it's people, myself included. The book had me search within myself to see where I stood in relation to my Creator after I recovered from a some what brusied ego. A must read for those searching for new directions.

A Challenging Book By An Insightful & Courageous Pastor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Today's Apostasy : How Decisionism is Destroying Our Churches (Paperback)
As a pastor who knows Dr. Hymers well and who has preached in his church many times, I think so highly of this book that I have already mailed its companion volume, "Preaching To A Dying Nation," to over 8,000 preachers world wide. You can contact me at (626) 357-2711.

Life changing for a pastor who will read it carefully.,

This review is from: Today's Apostasy : How Decisionism is Destroying Our Churches (Paperback)
Hymers pastors a Church where no other Churches exist, inner city Los Angeles, downtown. Where he ministers Christians have to be genuinely converted. Read his book and find out how he does it in the most difficult field in the USA.
