"If Hanegraaff chose to take a stand against the propserity (sic) preachings (which I personally disagree with as well) and explained why he feels the Bible opposes such teaching it would be one thing. However, Hanegraaff chooses to name some pastors and devotes a chapter to explaining the specific context of each individual pastor and why some words that were quoted by them are unbiblical."

First, I did not read anywhere in this book about Hanegraaff's "feeling," but did read much about his beliefs. Second, in laying out for the reader the unbiblical teachings of the specific word of faith preachers, is he not presenting his specific beliefs as to why the Bible opposes such teachings? Of course, the answer to this rhetorical question is an obvious yes.

For any student of the scriptures - one who knows how to read and study the Bible for all its worth - it is the words spoken by these teachers of false doctrine that are the greatest indictment against them. Hanegraaff's task was not too difficult, given that the word of faith preachers provide a plethora of material from which to choose.

I appreciate Hanegraaff's willingness to not only pen such an expose', but provide the indisputable documentation that accompanies it. Also, it is interesting that his critics speak in broad terms of his so called attacks on others, but fail to provide the specific examples of where he errs in the critiques he offers. Likewise, the critics fail to point out that Hanegraaff has continued to contact those whom he criticizes and , when they will do so, meets with them to personally discuss his concerns.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all born-again believers as a model of apologetics and a primer on how to make certain we test all things against scripture and hold fast to that which is true.
