(16) Strange Fire - The Rise Of Gnosticism In The Church by Travers and Jewel van der Merwe, 1995 "Gnosticism has a chameleon-like ability to appear like the genuine article, true Christianity, and thus has managed to transform itself to fit the times in countless new wrappings over the centuries. It particularly adapts itself to that place where the ideas of the east and west meet. Whenever eastern mysticism and western rationalism collide, one can find there the seedbed for a pseudo-Gospel that mimics the real thing."

(17) A Different Gospel: Biblical and Historical Insights into the Word of Faith Movement by D. R. McConnell, 1988
"Every Christian should read this book in order to be aware of the dangerous implications of the widespread and cultic Word of Faith movement preaching what is popularly known as "Name It and Claim It" theology. A Different Gospel is a bold and revealing examination of the biblical and historical basis of this movement.

McConnell warns of the movement's cultic nature in its doctrine of healing and its understanding of the atonement and demonstrates how far the movement's doctrine of prosperity is from Scripture's true teaching."

(36) The Cult Of Jabez by Steve Hopkins
"My heart is broken for the people of God in America.  For eight months I have labored in tears before God writing a book that I wish had never needed to be written.  But the Words of Christ are true.  It was Jesus who first told us that in the last days many would be led astray.  Should we be amazed to discover that the hypnotic and mesmerizing teachings of a man named Bruce Wilkinson concerning an Old Testament prayer prayed once by a man named Jabez have captivated millions in our time?  Are these not the last days?  Have these teachings not seduced great numbers of professing believers?  If you are one who has seen nothing dangerous or cultic about Bruce Wilkinson's "Jabez Revolution", as he calls it, I ask you to consider the possibility that you may have overlooked some very important verses of Scripture concerning his fantastic claims.  My book, "The Cult of Jabez" uses dozens of Bible passages to shed light on what many believers have come to realize are very clever, yet dark and deceptive teachings concerning the Jabez prayer. If you are one who has been uncomfortable with the teachings found in the Jabez books, yet surrounded by family and friends seemingly under its spell, "The Cult of Jabez" may prove the best means available to free your loved ones from it's destructive grip." - Author and Pastor Steve Hopkins (BBC)

(37) New Wine And The Babylonian Vine by Roger Oakland

(38) Reinventing Jesus Christ - The New Gospel by Warren Smith "Warren Smith has taken the events that followed September 11, 2001 and has deftly shown how "Jesus Christ is being reinvented in front of our own eyes and hardly anyone seems to notice or care. Over the last twenty-five years, while traditional Christian believers were sleeping, a vastly underrated adversary has made significant gains in the spiritual marketplace. In the book Warren explains how this "Christ" has been able to stay in the background where he continues to oversee his "plan" to "birth" a "new humanity".

(40) The Mantra Of Jabez: A Christian Parody by Douglas M. Jones
This book is hillarious. It sheds truth upon what the Prayer of Jabez is, a selfish prayer. Highly recomended, and for those who believe the prayer of Jabez as good, go pray the LORD'S PRAYER. How then we are to pray? selfless.

(47) Sabotaging Christianity by James Jefferies An Assessment of Free Grace Theology - Other than the Bible, this book may be the most important book you will ever read. This book is not about Liberal Theology and Modernists who consider the Bible to be merely a human book that contains religious myths or fables; say that the words, miracles and accounts of Jesus Christ in the gospels are not factual; believe that Jesus was a mere man who was good and helpful; teach that Jesus was not virgin born, dispute that Jesus is the Son of God who actually rose from the dead; and so forth. This book concerns a very influential Christian theology that promotes a deceptive salvation message, corrupts the gospel, and is a perversion of God's grace, that is rampant in the USA and is sweeping throughout the entire Christian world. It has been accepted by many Christian leaders and is being preached and taught in numerous churches and seminaries that call themselves Bible-believing, conservative, and evangelical, whose statements of faith proclaim the Bible to be the inspired word of God; Jesus is the virgin-born Son of God who died for our sins and was raised from the dead; physically ascended into heaven; and other correct doctrines. But, despite what their statement of faith says, they subtly declare an unbiblical message.

(48) Deceived On Purpose by Warren Smith
Warren Smith is a former New Ager who became converted to Christianity 20 years ago. Since then he has been warning Christians, through writing and speaking, that dangerous New Age doctrines are subtly creeping into the churches. In his most recent book, which is being offered by Discernment Ministries, Smith recounts the considerable influence that the Rev. Robert H. Schuller has had on the ministry style and teachings of Rick Warren. The mystical leaven of New Age teachings, which Robert Schuller controversially introduced the church several decades ago, is now being reintroduced and assimilated into mainstream evangelicalism through the writings and activities of Rick Warren. Deceived on Purpose is a book with an easy reading style that should be given to pastors and parishioners everywhere. The following is an important excerpt from the book, Chapter 3. It chronicles a noteworthy example of how Rick Warren's "seeker sensitive" emphasis can lead straight into dangerous metaphysical New Age doctrines. 

(49) Who's Driving the Purpose Driven Church?
A Documentary on the Teachings of Rich Warren
by James Sundquist, 10/04
The "Church Growth Movement" which has become known as the Purpose Driven Church, is primarily the world outreach of Willow Creek Church in Chicago and Saddleback Church in California. The touted religious leader of this paradigm religious earthquake is Rick Warren of Saddleback. Over 20 million copies of his book The Purpose Driven Life have been sold, and as reported, over 21,000 churches worldwide have gone through his "40 Days of Purpose" program. The actual number is probably over 50,000. This movement seems to be the most drastic change in Christendom since the 1550 Protestant Reformation. But where is it going? Do we not have a right to "try the spirits" (I John 4:1-2)? Do we not have an obligation to God to "try the spirits"? The object of the PDC movement is in eight steps to change your church from a "traditional church" to a "Purpose Driven Church". The author brings out the similarities of the PDC gospel to that of Dr. Charles Schuller and the New Age gurus. Features: 272 pages.

(51) Spirit Led Or Purpose Driven? by Berit Kjos, 11/03
When church leaders use energizing music, emotional stimuli and short, light messages to satisfy the flesh with its "felt needs," they tend to obscure our deeper spiritual needs. Fed a diet of simplified sermons designed to please everyone, both seekers and believers may lose their appetite for the solid Biblical teaching which -- by His Spirit -- produces conviction of sin, genuine repentance, actual regeneration, true spiritual renewal and the continual joy of walking with Jesus.

What is Christianity? What significance does the cross have? Are there teachings that can wreck our faith? We live in an age unlike any other in the history of man. To follow the Lord among the unique challenges we must understand Scripture and live by it.

(52) The Other Side Of The River by Kevin M. Reeves, 7/05
There is a major doctrinal movement sweeping through the Church. Billing itself as the "River", it promises an incoming tide of blessing but leaves in its wake tsunami-like devastation. Marked by false prophecies, unbiblical manifestations and cult-like teachings and authority structure, this latest Christian fad has wooed a generation of unwary believers and led them into a substitute spirituality. While the Word of God has been placed on the back burner, personal experience reigns supreme amid a host of unscriptural visions and ecstatic utterances that have paved the way for a radical departure from the apostolic Christianity of the early Church. In this deeply personal account, Kevin Reeves explores the inner workings of this worldwide phenomenon. As a leading member of a hyper-Charismatic group for twelve years, Reeves promoted and participated in "every wind of doctrine" that blew through his congregation. Enjoying the "cutting-edge" elitism and the party atmosphere engendered by false signs and wonders, Reeves drifted with the River's powerful current until an encounter with the truth shook his belief system to its very foundations. About the Author: Kevin Reeves had for many years been a local newspaper reporter and columnist, and a regular contributor to the regional magazine, Alaskan Southeaster. He has written several online articles critiquing the Third Wave. He lives in Alaska with his wife, Kris, and their two daughters, four cats, and a horse. Read this review.

(53) Redefining Christianity - Understanding the Purpose Driven Movement by Bob DeWaay
I have received many emails over the last two years from people who are concerned about what has happened to their church since it became Purpose Driven. This book will explain what has happened, why, and how a Purpose Driven church is different from a Bible-centered, Gospel church. Excerpt from Redefining Christianity:"Jesus said, "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you" (John 15:19). Not even the greatest marketing genius can change this without redefining the church. Seeking the approval of the world is precisely what the Purpose Driven movement is all about."

(58) Yoga And The Body Of Christ by Dave Hunt, The Berean Call, July 2006
This entire discussion always brings us back to the most fundamental fact about yoga. No matter what physical beneit might be derived from the exercises themselves, yoga inevitably involves Eastern meditation. And Eastern meditation, unlike Western contemplation or reflection,
accompanies an intentional dissociation from our conscious minds. This shutting down of the mind is, in fact, a total abdication of our God-given responsibility that Jesus declared is the first and great commandment: to love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind (Deuteronomy 6:5–6, Matthew 22:37). Thus, we are violating one of the true God’s most basic commandments every time we give our minds over to the intentional “nothingness” of yoga and associated “relaxation techniques.”

(60) More Than A Purpose by Dr. Marshall Davis
If you feel like something is missing from Rick Warren's best-selling books, The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church, you are not alone. In More Than a Purpose, Dr. Marshall Davis documents what evangelical leaders are saying about the megachurch movement. The author explores the origins of Rick Warren's approach in the Church Growth Movement and Robert Schuller's gospel of self-esteem. He examines the theology of Warren's Saddleback Church and finds that it falls short of historic Christianity. The author also exposes the market-driven methodology and philosophical pragmatism of The Purpose Driven Church. Readers will learn how the entertainment model of worship has taken over evangelical churches and how New Age spirituality has influenced the beliefs and the practices promoted in The Purpose Driven Life. This book will challenge Christians to recover the essentials of evangelical Christianity that will restore integrity to twenty-first century churches. Fully documented with 300 endnotes from over 75 different sources. Dr. Marshall Davis is an ordained Baptist minister with thirty years of experience as a pastor. He holds advanced degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky. He presently serves as a pastor in western Pennsylvania.  223 pages, paperback.

(61) Because They Hate by Bridget Gabriel
Check out excerpts from Brigitte Gabriel's speech delivered at the Intelligence Summit in Washington DC, Saturday February 18, 2006.  From Publishers Weekly: With strident confidence, American Congress for Truth founder Gabriel rebukes the American public for being "weak, asleep or careless" in the face of Muslim terrorism. A Christian survivor of the vicious civil war between Lebanese Christians and Muslims in the 1970s, Gabriel leans on her own terrifying experiences to condemn Muslims, without apparent regard for their ethnicity, ideology or historical role. Consistently using the words "Muslim" and "Arab" as if they were interchangeable, she concludes that the U.S. is "facing total destruction" at the hands of people who are uncultured and cruel, and prescribes such solutions as "profile, profile and profile," and banning "hate education" in Islamic institutions. Though her writing is eloquent and her passion tremendous, Gabriel's strict dichotomy between "evil versus goodness" is too extreme to be informative. Readers will be forced to decide whether or not to accept her heart-felt bias. (Oct.)  (Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

(63) For Many Shall Come In My Name by Ray Yungen, 5/07 An Ancient Wisdom is drawing millions of people into mystical experiences and preparing the world for the end of the age ... find out how. Most people believe the New Age has been long gone from our society, and if practiced at all now it is only by unconventional fringe types. For Many Shall Come in My Name reveals this is not the case. In fact, quite the opposite has occurred. The New Age movement (a term not normally used by its proponents) has permeated virtually all aspects of our society. This "Ancient Wisdom" spirituality can be quite readily encountered in the following fields: Business, Education, Health, Self- Help, Religion, and Arts & Entertainment. This book examines them all.

(64) The Deception Of "Love Evangelism" by Miguel Hayworth, 6/07
Over the past 2 years I have been in deep conversation with many Christians from different denominations both at home and abroad. I have observed that many have succumbed to modernising trends in teaching and practice that reject centuries of sound Biblical thought. Believing that as “times have changed,” so Christianity must also “change with the times.” Many seek to “repaint Christianity,” or “Make Jesus Famous,” because people have lost faith in the fundamental teachings of the Gospel message itself. Just as in society at large the general population is being fed with a diet of processed and pre-packaged food so modern Christians are being fed a diet of spiritual junk food. Though couched in biblical language the basic substance of much of what passes for “Christian” today is nothing more than sensuality and
carnality. Such sensuality and carnality is the basis of pagan religion and not what Christ described as the “worship in spirit and in truth” that God desires. Christians yearn for “revival,” and interpret this to mean mass conversions. Fearful of upsetting the masses the “reproach of Christ” is rejected in favour of the “treasures of Egypt” (as evidenced in the
Word of Faith/Prosperity movement), “Finding meaning in Life” has replaced “Finding life in Christ” (as seen in Alpha Course,) “A Purpose Driven Life” has now replaced “a Christ Centred Life,” Jabez's prayer has become the mantra for success rather than Jabez's humility. This spiritual leaven has entered the Christian churches too easily and has quickly spread. The Emperor's new clothes are a sham and he stands naked before the world.
 

(65) Faith Undone by Roger Oakland, Understanding The Times, 8/07 Is the emerging church movement just another passing fad, a more contemporary approach to church, or a bunch of disillusioned young people looking for answers? In fact, it is actually much broader and is influencing Christianity to a significant degree. Grounded in a centuries-old mystical approach, this movement is powerful, yet highly deceptive, and it draws its energy from practices and experiences that are foreign to traditional evangelical Christianity. The path that the emerging church is taking is leading right into the arms of Roman Catholicism and ultimately to an interfaith perspective that has prophetically profound ramifications.

(66) Living Above the Average by William MacDonald, Gospel Folio Press, 10/08
Must we live ho-hum, humdrum lives, talking and singing Christianity on Sunday but living the rest of the week in a spiritual desert? Is it possible to live above the average? This collection of true-life stories will not only thrill you as you read but can provoke you—in a good way—“to love and good works” (Hebrews 10:24). These are the accounts of ordinary people who want God to do extraordinary things through them. And He will! Paul knew the secret when he wrote about such a God who “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). Gospel Folio Press, 152 pp.

(67) Catholic Concerns - Where Does the Road to Rome Lead? by Mary Ann Collins, a former Catholic nun, 12/20/08

(68) Identifying and Opposing False Teachers & Why Evangelize If God Has Already Chosen? by Mike Gendron, 1/09
The Lord Jesus warned that these last days would be marked by great deception because many false teachers will be on the scene deceiving many people. The Apostle Peter also warned there will be false teachers among you who will secretly introduce destructive heresies (2 Pet. 2:1). The burning question for the church is this? Why are we allowing these wolves in sheep's clothing to come in and attack the sheep? Why are pastors and church leaders refusing to protect their congregations by identifying and opposing these false teachers (2 Cor. 11:4)? Clearly our intimacy with Jesus Christ is directly related to how we deal with false teachers. The second message takes a Biblical look at the doctrine of election and how it relates to the responsibility of every believer to sow the seeds of God's imperishable word. See how divine sovereignty and human responsibility work together in God's perfect plan of redemption.

(69) The Jews, Modern Israel and the New Supercessionism edited by Calvin L. Smith with contributions from Andy Cheung, Jacob Prasch, Stephen M. Vantassel, Howard Taylor, Paul Wilkinson and Tony Pearce, 4/09
A large portion of the word of God in the Old Testament is being misinterpreted or deliberately avoided by those who have adopted the teaching that the Christian Church has replaced Israel and that the ancient promises made by God to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David are now passé. However, Calvin L. Smith has edited a set of chapters in a new book that makes a vital contribution towards rectifying this imbalance in interpretation. May it spark a long-overdue discussion among Evangelical interpreters of all persuasions as well as one between Jewish people of the book and believers in the Christian Church.

(70) Navigating The Storms Of Life by Gary Inrig, Discovery Series booklet, 2006
Good booklet on the importance of God's written Word in today's seas of uncertainty.

(73) Hope08 - A Hidden Agenda by Miguel Hayworth, 7/17/09
This Book will reveal the Interfaith/Ecumenical agenda behind HOPE 2008. The Bible tells us to hold to the purity of Gods word and not to 'join hands' with those who do not bring the one and only true gospel of salvation. Joining hands with Hope 08 in any way whatsoever effectively promotes their ecumenical and interfaith agenda. More info: http://www.hope08online.co.uk

(74) ICRS 2009 - The Church in the Marketplace by Jackie Alnor, 7/17/09
The Internet, the Economy and the Apostasy = three elements that spell out the decline in the Christian publishing market. The recent bookseller’s conference reflects today’s atmosphere in publishing at a time when the publishing industry is taking a hit. Christianity Today has had to stop some of its sister publications and there’s no saying how long both CT and Charisma can keep going while the amount of pages and ads in those magazines diminish. And as more and more people are leaving traditional churches, they are also reading more Oprah and less C.S. Lewis. An anonymous source reported that back in the 1980s, the Christian Booksellers Association’s (CBA) annual national conferences used to attract an average of 7,000 visitors. The recent conference, now renamed ICRS, International Christian Retail Show, had an average of 700 attending, according to the same source. (Perhaps, but only if you exclude the people manning the booths and just count bookstore owners who are declining.)

(75) Castles in the Sand by Caryolyn A. Greene, 7/22/09
Description: When the horse-loving, day-dreaming Tessa Dawson enters a Christian college, she is introduced to the writings of 16th century Teresa of Avila by her spiritual formation professor. Soon Tessa's life is dramatically affected as she delves into "Christian mysticism." As she ventures deeper into this form of spirituality, God prepares her concerned grandfather and a mysterious young man as they set out to reach her. This "fiction with a message" takes a compelling and thought-provoking look at the true nature behind contemplative spirituality, which has impacted Christian churches, colleges, seminaries, and universities across the globe. Two lives are changed forever through spiritual practices they each encounter—lectio divina . . . contemplative prayer . . . visualization . . . centering . . . sacred space . . . desert fathers . . . kundalini . . . labyrinths . . . spiritual formation . . . the silence. Author Bio: Castles in the Sand is Carolyn Greene's debut book. She has studied the New Age movement and the contemplative prayer movement for several years. She lives in Canada with her husband and two children. Carolyn A. Greene is the author's pen name. 

(76) A "Wonderful" Deception - The Further New Age Implications of the Emerging Purpose Driven Movement by Warren Smith, 7/09
"A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?" Jeremiah 5:30-31 Five years after writing Deceived on Purpose: the New Age Implications of the Purpose Driven Church, former New Age follower Warren Smith continues to reveal how Christian leaders—wittingly or unwittingly—are leading the church into a spiritual trap. A “Wonderful” Deception examines church metaphors, concepts, and beliefs that are essentially the same as those being used in today’s New Age teachings. And while biblical prophecy is being minimized and explained away, the “new science” is being used to prepare the world—and the church—to accept a New Spirituality and a false New Age Christ. This book explains how all the puzzle pieces are in place for the “strong delusion” described in 2 Thessalonians. A “Wonderful” Deception pierces right into the heart of this deception while preparing believers in Jesus Christ to effectively stand against it.

(78) Unshackled by Larry DeBruyn, 9/09
Pastor DeBruyn's latest book reviews The Shack, Wm. Paul Young's bestselling spiritual allegory. But is much more than that! UNSHACKLED is a solid biblical refutation of the emerging heresies of the "quantum spirituality" movement. This movement is showing up both within the New Age/New Spirituality and also the Emerging/Emergent church (popularized by Leonard Sweet's book titled Quantum Spirituality).

(80) The Gospel - What is the Way of the Gospel? - A refutation of the Law, works and baptism being necessary for salvation by Mike Oppenherimer, 3/21/10
A through look at the gospel, its activities and various facets. It is important that every Christian understands the Biblical meaning of the Gospel and historicity of Christian Baptism. This book covers the fall of man the introduction of the sacrificial system, how it was used throughout history. What the Gospel is and what it is not. The way of salvation. refuting those that add works to the gospel, such as the law, and the ceremony of baptism. The Biblical view of grace, faith and the message that saves.  This book is about the gospel and God’s way of salvation. How a person is saved from their sin is the subject of this book. Is the gospel something we hear and respond to by faith or something we also need to do by works? What is the difference of religion and relationship. Numerous churches teach that you must be water baptized to receive salvation or to complete your salvation. There are a number of different opinions, all seem to have biblical arguments for their position. However, there can only be one correct way.  This book is meant to clarify scriptural misconceptions and point to the saving knowledge of the truth. What is mostly focused on are works and the addition of baptism “baptismal regeneration” as part of the gospel message. It is a strong and thorough refutation on baptism being part of the gospel. 233 pages.

We are pleased to announce that the Discernment Ministries CATALOG is now completely updated and posted online. This is the compilation of all of the informative resources available from Discernment Ministries.

(82) The Emerging Church - Undefining Christianity by Bob Dewaay, 5/10
The Emergent Church. Its very name implies innovative understandings of Orthodox Christianity. But what exactly does it stand for? What exactly does it teach? In The Emergent Church - Undefining Christianity Bob DeWaay exposes the core belief that unifies the Emergent Church - its eschatology. He demonstrates that in their system every other Christian concept is open to discussion and contradiction, yet their definition of eschatology remains constant and fixed; it is their sole unifying foundation. Without their eschatology there is no Emergent Church. Many have attempted to understand the movement, but have met with frustration when they encounter undefined language and contradictory beliefs that are inconsistent-within the text and between authors. Indeed, the Emergent Church and its leaders intentionally avoid definitions or defined statements of faith that can be understood and discerned and welcome definitions that are felt or experienced. It is no wonder that frustration results. Once these facts are understood it becomes obvious that "Emergent" is not new at all; it is age-old heresy repackaged in postmodern subjectivity whose purpose is the further seduction of the naïve and of those who refuse to love and obey the truth. 

(83) Burning Down The Shack: How the 'Christian' Bestseller is Deceiving Millions by James B. De Young, 6/8/10
Millions have bought into the theology of Paul Young, whose book, "The Shack," which portrays God as a loving, black woman. Similar changes in appearance were given to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The story of pain and redemption then resonated with the public. But is Young's worldview important? Is his theology that big a deal? James De Young thinks so. In fact, it's so important that he's written a compelling book challenge to "The Shack." In "Burning Down the Shack," De Young manages to shed important light on the implications of Young's pluralistic faith, and provides readers with a gripping counter-balance to the popular little volume that's spent many weeks on the best-seller lists. Exploring the nature and character of God, from Scripture, De Young concludes that it is necessary to proceed carefully with "The Shack," lest important truths be skewed and even jettisoned. Without being confrontational, De Young makes the case that dangers can lurk under the foundation.

(85) False Christ Coming - Does Anybody Care? by Warren Smith, 9/27/10
False Christ Coming - Does Anybody Care? is the original Reinventing Jesus Christ by Warren B. Smith, published in 2002. There is an amazing thing happening in the land. Jesus Christ is being "reinvented" right in front of our eyes and hardly anyone seems to notice or care. "Reinventing" is a term that is popularly used to describe the transformation of something from one form into a thing uniquely different. Over the last several decades, while traditional Christian believers were sleeping, a vastly underrated adversary has made significant gains in the spiritual marketplace. In a gradual series of well-conceived and perfectly timed moves, this ingenious spiritual being has already introduced himself to the world as "Christ." And his New Age/New Gospel/New Spirituality is now accepted by millions of well-intentioned people around the world. Through his extraordinary use of the mass media, this "Christ" has presented his "New Spirituality" through a small but powerful network of key people who enthusiastically proclaim his teachings. Convinced their "Christ" is the true Christ, most of those in the network seem to be unaware of his real identity. While the network front line is eagerly mainstreaming his New Age/New Gospel, this "Christ" has been able to remain in the background, overseeing his Peace Plan to birth a new humanity-a new humanity that will be empowered by his spirit, committed to his teachings, and from which he will one day emerge. 

(86) Gospel Cards by Michael Gendron, Proclaiming The Gospel, 10/21/10
Our exciting new resource for evangelism is a set of 12 four color Gospel Cards. They were designed and developed to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ clear, complete and biblically accurate. Each card explains the most important words of a Gospel presentation using four bullet points and their corresponding Scripture references. The cards can be used to clarify common misunderstandings about life’s most critical issue: “What must I do to be saved?”

(93) IN THE NAME OF JESUS: The Rise of “Jesus Only” Baptism & Oneness Pentecostalism, A New Online Booklet by Pastor Larry DeBruyn, 8/15/12
Below is an excerpt from an exciting new booklet that has just been posted at the Discernment Ministries main website book page. The topic of this booklet is especially relevant to the rapidly rising popularity and mainstreaming of T.D. Jakes* in the evangelical world. 
 

(94) The Dilemma of Laodicea by James Jacob Prasch Dilemma of Laodicea There are "things which you have seen", "things which are", and "things which will take place". The seven churches of the book of Revelation, which actually existed in the 1st Century ("things which you have seen"), also represent seven broad types of churches that can exist at any time in history ("things which are"), and seven generally overlapping periods of church history ("things which will take place"). These letters to the seven churches of Asia can be applied in four main ways:     • They existed literally and historically at the end of the 1st Century A.D.     • They are seven types of churches which exist at any time throughout history.     • They represent seven types of churches that will exist at the end of the age.     • They correspond quite well to seven periods of church history. This book examines the history of the church in light of the letters of Jesus Christ to the seven churches in Asia, as recorded by John in his Revelations. Unless learning can be achieved from the errors of the past it is a sure thing that those errors will be repeated. Place your order here.

(95) Shadows Of The Beast by Jacob Prasch, 10/18/12 "How the identity of the coming Antichrist will be revealed to the faithful Church". Jacob has produced a completely unique book on the Antichrist whose twenty or so chapters are organized into six major parts: —•— Part One: The Spirit of the Antichrist —•— Part Two: The Many Antichrists—Biblical —•— Part Three: The Many Antichrists—Historical —•— Part Four: The Milieu of the Antichrist —•— Part Five: The False Prophet —•— Part Six: The Final Antichrist This is not like so many books which attempt to name a specific person to be named as the Antichrist or to make a case that the ultimate Antichrist can only come from a particular place or background. Scripture teaches us that he will be revealed to the faithful church by Christ, and this work provides the tools and background to accomplish this at the appointed time. It is highly recommended that this work be read in tandem with The Dilemma of Laodicea, Jacob's book on the seven churches in Revelation which provides a platform of understanding how the spirit of antichrist has been at work during every age of the Church and particularly in this final age characterized by the church at Laodicea.

(96) Is That You, Lord?: Hearing The Voice Of The Lord, A Biblical Perspective by Dr. Gary Gilley, 10/21/12
The quest to “discover the will of God”, discern the mysterious promptings of the Spirit and open the floodgates of divine communication are all hot topics in popular Christian culture, and cause much unnecessary anguish and confusion. But what does the Bible say? Dr. Gary E. Gilley shows us, in clear and precise language, what God’s Word teaches on this important subject.

(97) "Reimagining" God: Turning the Light off to Look for "Truth" in the Corner of a Dark Round Room by Tamara Hartzell, 12/22/12
Despite the absurd belief that dispensing with the truth of God's inspired Word is a move toward God, this way of thinking simply could not be any more backward. This way of thinking has already moved today's Christianity "forward" in its faith to the doctrines of devils found in the channeled teachings of occultists and New Agers. And these same doctrines of devils that are already embraced as "God's truth" in today's Christianity comprise the emerging faith that will bow down to the devil's Antichrist and take his mark. Will you be one of them? I pray not. This day is rapidly emerging on the horizon and will be here much sooner than you think.  Read this online book here.

(98) TheoPhostic Counseling by Martin and Deidre Bobgan, 2/7/13
Divine Revelation? or PsychoHeresy? - "TheoPhostic counseling is the result of many existent therapies, including psychoanalytic, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive-behavioral therapies. In addition, TheoPhostic includes elements from the inner healing movement, which includes guided imagery, visualization, and hypnosis. As a result of our analysis we conclude that TheoPhostic counseling came out of the evil cauldron of the perverted wisdom of men rather than from the mind of God. We present our reasons for this, our comparisons with what appear to be Dr. Ed M. Smith's sources, and a concern about how he misuses Scripture to support TheoPhostic counseling."—Martin and Deidre Bobgan

(99) My Journey Out of Catholicism by David Dombrowski, Lighthouse Trails, 2/8/13
As I am writing these things, I am amazed to think how quickly the years have gone by. These events that seem like yesterday began over twenty-five years ago. And through all these years, I have never publically shared the story about the community. But there is a reason why I felt compelled to share it now. When the community was deciding to become Catholic, they were very excited because they felt that they were pioneers in going back to the mother church. They felt confident that many others would eventually follow their example. Today, I see that this is beginning to happen in large numbers. The community shared with some of their friends that they had grown spiritually as far as the Protestant church could take them, and if they were going to grow anymore, they would have to become Catholic. It is the same thing that is happening today. Many Protestant leaders are now standing up and proclaiming that we need to glean from the teachings and practices of the Catholic church. Particularly appealing to them is contemplative prayer or mysticism and the spiritual disciplines. There is no doubt in my mind that contemplative spirituality is a bridge, bringing Protestants “back” to the Catholic church. The emerging church movement is equally a bridge toward Catholicism, and the Purpose Driven movement has had a role in this as well.

(100) “I Just Had a Vision” booklet by Kevin Reeves, 2/25/13
This booklet is specifically geared toward passing out to those who are involved in movements such as the River movement, Latter Rain, Word Faith, IHOP, Kansas City Prophets, Toronto Blessing, or Brownsville Revival, etc.).

(101) Wandering Stars by Keith Gibson, 2/27/13
Contending for the Faith with the New Apostles and Prophets - Finally, here is an up-to-date volume written not just for Bereans but one that reaches across denominational fences to speak the truth in love to those curious about or drawn away by the false doctrines and heretical teachings and practices of the Latter Rain, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), or "Five-Fold Restoration" movements. From the author: "There is always the temptation when dealing with a subject of this nature, to pull out the most oulandish quotes in an attempt to make one's point more forcefully.... While an extreme example has occasionally been used in order to demonstrate how heretical the movement is at its fringes, for the most part, I have attempted to use quotes from those considered more 'mainstream' within the apostolic and prophetic momement. It is my desire to demonstrate that the issues addressed in this book are rampant within the community and not isolated in one or two marginal teachers. It is my sincere prayer that this book will be used in some small measure to awaken the church to the seriousness of the errors being propagated within the apostolic/prophetic movement and to call the church back to the truth." TBC is pleased to present this book as a contemporary answer to those with friends, family, and church members who are prone to be "tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine" (Ephesians:4:14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;).

(102) Native Spirituality “Renewal” & the Emerging Church (Booklet) by Nanci Des Gerlaise, 3/23/13
While those practicing Native Spirituality may believe they are practicing a completely unique form of spirituality, originating with them, they couldn’t be further from the truth. Native Spirituality is just one part of a vast movement that is creating a paradigm shift in our present-day culture away from biblical Christianity and replacing it with an all-inclusive interspiritual global religion that relies heavily upon mystical practices. The results will create a “Christianity” that has no resemblance to biblical Christianity whatsoever.

(103) Showtime for the Sheep? (Book) by T.A. McMahon, The Berean Call, 3/31/13
After screening Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, T. A. McMahon set about writing a book evaluating the enthusiasm generated for the film among evangelicals. The movie was touted as the greatest opportunity for witnessing since the death of Christ. Could that be true? Or could the church be enthralled with something that might have a host of problems beyond just a popular motion picture about Jesus Christ. Tom observed a connection between The Passion and trends taking place among professing Bible believers such as the increasing use of entertainment in presenting the gospel, the ecumenical relationship between Catholics and Evangelicals, the use of imagery verging on idolatry, and the major drift away from the objective Word of God in favor of the subjective, "feelings" oriented treatment of the Scriptures.

(104) How to Know When the Emerging Church Shows Signs of Emerging Into Your Church (Booklet) by Lighthouse Trails, 4/7/13
I am convinced we are seeing apostasy underway, exactly as the Scriptures have forewarned. This means that this current trend is not likely to disappear. We must continue to proclaim the truth in the midst of deception with love. 

(105) NEW PRINT BOOKLET TRACT: The New Missiology – Doing Missions Without the Gospel by Roger Oakland, 4/27/13
Emerging “progressive Christianity” is changing the way evangelical/Protestant missions is being conducted. The idea is that you can go for Jesus, but you don’t have to identify yourself as a Christian or part of the Christian church. This concept spills over into some missionary societies too, where they teach people from other religions they can keep their religion, just add Jesus to the equation. They don’t have to embrace the term Christian.

(106) The 10 Things You Need to Know About Islam by Ron Rhodes, 2013
One out of every five persons on the earth is a Muslim. In the past 16 years, the number of Muslim mosques in the United States has mushroomed from 30 to over 3,000. An Islamic leader recently inaugurated a session of the United States Senate, praying in the name of Allah. Chances are that if you don't currently have Muslim friends, you soon will. To understand and communicate with them, you need to know... Are all Muslims the same? Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God? Was Muhammad really a prophet of God? Do the Quran and the Christian Bible agree? What are the major doctrines of Islam? What are the five major obligations of Muslims? How is the basis of salvation in Muslim theology? Has the Bible been corrupted, as Muslims claim? Was Jesus a mere prophet, as Muslims claim? What do Muslims say about Judgment, heaven, and hell? What are the best strategies for dialoguing with Muslims? This concise, easy-to-understand guide answers these questions and others, and also provides a powerful Christian apologetic response. This book is engineered to guide Christians through the most important information with clear explanations and solid biblical reasoning. This is a must–have resource for individuals and churches trying to discern today’s news stories.

(107) How To Protect Your Child From the New Age and  Spiritual Deception (Book) by Berit Kjos, 5/17/13
Unbeknownst to most parents, America’s public schools are teaching their children to use mindfulness meditation (Eastern-style meditation or TM). In a New York Times article titled “In the Classroom, a New Focus on Quieting the Mind,” elementary children in an Oakland, California school are promised peace and loving-kindness if they will learn to meditate.

(108) The New Missiology: Doing Missions Without the Gospel (Tract) by Roger Oakland, 6/4/13
Emerging "progressive Christianity" is changing the way evangelical/Protestant missions is being conducted. The idea is that you can go for Jesus, but you don't have to identify yourself as a Christian or part of the Christian church.

(109) NEW BOOKLET TRACT: An Epidemic of Apostasy – How Christian Seminaries Must Incorporate “Spiritual Formation” to Become Accredited by Lighthouse Trails, 6/16/13
What do the two accreditation organizations—Association of Theological Seminaries and Association for Biblical Higher Education—have in common? Both associations require schools that wish to be accredited to include Spiritual Formation within the school’s infrastructure. Just what exactly does that mean for these 350 some seminaries and Bible colleges? Well, it means that if they want to receive and maintain their accreditation, they are going to have to incorporate Spiritual Formation (i.e., contemplative spirituality) into the lives of their students.

(110) The Truth About Energy Healing (Booklet) by Ray Yungen, Lighthouse Trails, 6/25/13
New Agers and occultists believe that man has more than one body, that there are other invisible bodies superimposed on the physical body. They refer to one of these as the etheric body and believe there lies within it energy centers called chakras (pronounced shock-ras). The term chakra means whirling wheel in Sanskrit, the ancient Hindu language. They were seen by those with clairvoyant powers as spinning balls of psychic energy. It is taught that there are seven chakras, which start at the base of the spine and end at the crown chakra at the top of the head.

(111) The Labyrinth Journey: Walking the Path to Fulfillment? (Booklet) by Carl Teichrib, Lighthouse Trails, 7/2/13
Beyond all of this, just as walking the labyrinth is used for initiation in cults, it serves as a catalyst to draw people into more serious forms of New Age or eastern-style meditation cloaked under terms like “the silence,” “centering prayer,” or “contemplative prayer.” Yes, the majority of Christians would affirm that their labyrinth prayer walk is completely focused on Jesus Christ. That may be true, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that the labyrinth is, by its theological nature, an inter-religious and deeply mystical device. If God is going to bless the labyrinth experience, how is He going to deal with 2 Corinthians 6:14-16?

(112) YOGA and Christianity – Are They Compatible? (Booklet) by Chris Lawson, Lighthouse Trails, 7/7/13
Western Culture Embraces Yoga: It is no secret that Yoga is taking Western civilization by storm. In just a little over a hundred years, a mystical revolution has occurred that millions of Westerners have wholeheartedly embraced. Amazingly, the Western Judeo-Christian view is in the process of a paradigm shift toward the same perspective as yogic India.

(114) The Shack and Its New Age Leaven (Booklet) by Lighthouse Trails, 7/22/13
The introduction of fractals in the story line of The Shack is a deceptive device to unsuspecting readers. It is an entry point into the pseudo-scientific notion of “fractal Oneness”—“as above, so below”/God “in” everything.

(115) An Epidemic of Apostasy – How Christian Seminaries Must Incorporate “Spiritual Formation” to Become Accredited (Booklet) by Lighthouse Trails, 8/1/13
Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case, you will find contemplative spirituality and its “pioneers” such as Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, and Henri Nouwen. Spiritual Formation is based on “spiritual disciplines” that can be practiced by people of any faith to make them more “Christ-like.” Rebirth through Jesus Christ and regeneration through the Holy Spirit are not essential. Rather it is a works-based “theology” that has strong roots in Roman Catholicism and ancient paganism.

(116) Brennan Manning’s “New Monks” & Their Dangerous Contemplative Spirituality (Booklet) by Lighthouse Trails, 8/26/13
Little did I know when I began to read The Signature of Jesus, the time and effort that would be involved in understanding it. I am not a theologian by training. My background is in technical management in electronic component manufacturing. However, I stumbled onto something that I became convinced was very dangerous and little understood.

(117) Chrislam – The Blending Together of Islam & Christianity (Booklet) by Mike Oppenheimer, 10/15/13
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all part of the Abrahamic tree of faith. We all believe in the same God, and in many aspects we are all trying to accomplish the same goals. (“UCC Pastor to read Quran in Response to Dove Quran Burnings”, The Creative Seminole, Source)

(118) Setting Aside the Power of the Gospel for a Powerless Substitute (Booklet) by David Dombrowski, 11/3/13
This booklet is specifically geared toward passing out to those who are involved with some kind of spiritual deception.

(119) A “Common Core” For a Global Community: What’s In Store For the Education of Today’s Children? (Booklet) by Berit Kjos, 11/16/13
While preparing this booklet, I came across a headline that illustrates the corrupt values and shameless propaganda behind UNESCO’s Common Core indoctrination. Ponder this assignment: “Students Asked to ‘Argue That Jews Are Evil’ and Prove Nazi Loyalty in Assignment Linked to Common Core.”1 In other words, traditional values are out! Shocking propaganda is in! I hope this booklet will help parents, concerned educators, and our children prepare together for the spiritual battlefields ahead.

(120) Another Jesus Calling (Book) by Warren B. Smith, 11/25/13
For those who have read Jesus Calling and been troubled by it but didn’t know why, “Another Jesus” Calling will give substance to your concerns and will equip you to help your friends who may be reading Young’s book also. And if you have read Jesus Calling and see nothing wrong with it, consider the claims of “Another Jesus” Calling. Beyond all this, “Another Jesus” Calling serves as a discernment tool in rightly handling the Word of God. You will lay down this book with renewed understanding of the essential role of the Bible and the Gospel message in keeping on (or returning to) the right path.

(121) NEW BOOKLET TRACT: A Directory of Authors (Three NOT Recommended Lists) by Chris Lawson, 12/9/13
Each of the (not recommended) authors professes to be Christian and/or uses biblical terminology in his or her writing, yet promotes at least one of the following serious false teachings: contemplative spirituality (i.e., Spiritual Formation), the emergent, progressive “new” spirituality, the seeker-friendly, church-growth movement (e.g., Willow Creek, Purpose Driven) and/or Yoga.

(122) The Christian and Psychology (Booklet) by Gary Gilley, 2/16/14
It is important that we analyze psychology in light of the Word. In The Christian and Psychology, Pastor Gary Gilley compares Scripture next to psychology to help Christians form a biblical worldview of psychology.

The First Nations Movement
Deceiving The Nations!
4-DVD Series


Critical Missiological Issue!

The "Indigenous People's" (IPM) or "First Nations" movement is an unbiblical movement teaching heresies and doctrines of demons. It is being spread worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard Twiss, Terry LeBlanc, Daniel Kikawa and many other adherents. The IPM or World Christian Gathering On Indigenous People is full of the false teachings of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Word-Faith, Dominionism, Latter Rain and many other false theological systems.  But it does have it's own distinctives that are driven by the works of Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss, and Don Richardson in particular.  They are teaching Christians to "redeem" their cultures by worshipping their former gods, pretending they are YHWH.
