1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous rhetoric, May 18, 1999

By A Customer

If you've already decided you dislike Promise Keepers, you might enjoy parts of this book. If you have any morsal of objectivity or mature (grace-oriented) Christianity, however, you'll quickly see through the warped rhetoric in Trojan Horse. It's hard to imagine how anyone could find this author credible, but oh well...the fact the book is published by an obscure publisher speaks for itself (read: there's no way a mainstream, evangelical publisher would touch Arms' ridiculous work).

The book is so poor it's hard to know where to even begin in describing it. One thing it suffers from chronically is the "guilt by association" rhetoric. Arms knows that somewhere in the U.S., there's a church doing or teaching certain things that the reader isn't going to like. Naturally, if you follow enough of his "steps," there's a "connection" to Promise Keepers! Please.

The book's shortcomings are summed up very well in the author's discussion about the Promise Keepers' ministry stance toward Mormons. To begin with, Arms claims PK is too inclusive. But then he admits their official magazine ran a piece deeming Mormonism a "cult." Yet he still rambles on against PK and Mormons. Makes you wonder if there are people at Arms' church standing at the door quizing people before they'll let them come in and hear the message.

Too bad "zero stars" isn't an option.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sincere expose of Promise Keepers' background, May 27, 2003

By	Diane De Sousa (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This book unravels the Promise Keepers' organization to find the dangerous Vineyard movement behind it. I think it is valuable for anyone who senses through the leading of the Holy Spirit that there is something wrong with Promise Keepers. The material Phil Arms presents provides a confirmation there there IS something wrong with that organization. The only suggestion I would make is that the book could be more concise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book exposing Promise Keepers, January 11, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Detroit, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This book exposes Promise Keepers' total lack of doctrinal stands, their acceptance of cultists such as Catholics and Mormons, and their psychosexual psychological teachings. Also shows their various false prophesies and runarounds to avoid issues with their unbiblicalness.
