Christianity in Crisis by Hank Hanegraaff

In a recently updated Christianity in Crisis, Hank Hanegraaff continues his assault on "Faith teachers". You may recognize a couple of names: Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer. He adds their name to the club of preachers including: Benny Hinn and Oral Roberts. (we'll call them slightly crazy preachers)

In this updated book, Hanegraaff reveals the errors in the message these faith preachers share and how it is so far different than what the Bible teaches, that they are practically cultists!

He speaks out against their teaching of the power of words and how you can speak yourself to wealth, health and influence.

The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) gets hammered hard by Hanegraaff's attacks of heresy.

I don't follow the teachings of Osteen, Meyer or the other Faith teachers. I do know them as televangelists and so-called prosperity teachers. I agree on most of the things Hanegraaff has to say in this book. But I do wonder about the power of words...

When all is said and done, it is clear that you do not want to be on the receiving end of a Hank Hanegraaff scolding.
