Christianity in Crisis?
Christianity in Crisis is the latest apologetic book by Hank Hanegraaff. This book seeks to warn Christians about a cultic type movement within Christianity. He specifically warns his readers about the Word of Faith movement. Many of which you would likely see on TBN!
The book started off with a bang. Hanegraaff did a great job explaining what the Word of Faith movement was all about and exposed the heresy of this movement. I was astonished as he reveals the theology of the movements big time preachers; men like Joel Osteen, John Hagee, Creflo Dollar, Copeland, Hagin, and others. The more I read the more disgusted I became with the heresy of the Word of Faith movement. I wonder how so many people are blinded to the TRUTH and can not see the heresy in which these guys preach and teach.
However, as the book went on, Hannegraff began to use several acronyms which at times became confusing. Toward the end of the book it felt as if the book was 75 pages too long. I believe he could have condensed the book and it would have been just fine. Less is sometimes best:)
If apologetics is your thing, you will like this book, at least most of it. Regardless, he does a great job to show how the Word of Faith movement is impacting Christianity in the United States and around the world. I would give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
