5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth-Plain & Simple, March 28, 2000

By	Julie (Kansas City) - See all my reviews

It seems from most of the previous reviews that the readers either love Hank Hanegraff or despise him. How strange. It seems that most of the negative reviews were actually personal attacks on the author and not directed toward his subject. I did not see a single negative review presenting an actual instance in which Mr. Hanegraff "lied". It seems as if they simply stated, "He lied," and left it at that. I would question if any of these readers had, in fact, actually read this book.

All that aside I can honestly tell you that this is a work of fact and not fiction. I left the "faith movement" a number of years ago. I once held to the teachings of men like Copeland, Hagin, Hinn and others until I placed their teachings up against the plumbline of scripture. I found that their teachings simply were not square.

The truth hurts. In an age of "easy believism" I guess it's just easier for some people to live for experience, after experience, after experience. These teachers preach a gospel of prosperity, comfort and healing for all. Any one who has read the bible knows that this is "a different gospel". In 1990 a believer in the "faith movement" actually had the audacity to tell me that my brother died of colon cancer because my family did not have enough faith. A simple study of the character of God proves this statement to be false.

I don't need to listen to Mr. Hanegraff's tapes to know that what he said about these false teachers is true. I have heard them say it with my own ears. Mr. Hanegraff is not a liar.

To those who follow the "faith movement" and it's dangerous teachings I would remind you of this one thing: "If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." Matt. 16:24

4.0 out of 5 stars People don't want to believe....., September 15, 2001

By	The Chalcenteric Kid (Boca Raton) - See all my reviews

....what contradicts their "faith".

To all the "out of context" reviewers, I suggest
that they listen to Mr Hannegraff's radio program
and then they get to hear the self same quotes from
the book out of the mouths of the charlatans and hucksters
themselves. They truly are a blight on modern Christianity
and Mr Hannegraff is to be commended for trying to show
their supporters just how bad these men really really are.

"Experts at removing money from the poor?". You betcha.

"Experts at removing money from the gullible?". Naturally.

The problem is that as timely as this book is, it is next to
impossibe to persuade a "Word Of Faith" believer that they
have been duped.

People feel foolish to admit having been fooled. So they
don't believe the evidence of their own eyes and ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth Hurts...But Will Prevail, February 26, 2000

By A Customer

It is unfortunate to read the negative reviews. It is obvious that most of these decieved readers are involved (or at least most of them) in this heretical movement that Hank uncovers. I was ordained by a Word of Faith Church and preached it's heresies for almost a decade. I can tell you now that this book is absolutely on target! It is well researched and documented. I've read the books and listened to the tapes of these false prophets. Hank Hanegraaff hasn't missed a beat!

It is so typical (and very un-Christ-like) of people who are involved in this very damnable heretical movement to become almost violent in words and action as you have noticed by many who have entered their less than favorable reviews. Such as the "so-called" theology professor who claims he has researched all of Hank's material and found them erroneous. You've been caught! This is definately not true.

Again, as a former licensed Word of Faith minister, this book is an absolute must! Buy it and see. Be sure to get the accompanying cassettes. They too are well documented and you can hear the startling and blasphemous babblings of these Word of Faith preachers first hand! There are no lies or misrepresentations in this award winning book and Hank Hanegraaff is supurb in both style and presentation.

If you love God, get this book. If you love your religion, then continue in your darkness!

God help those who are blind. Titus 1:10-16
