About this listen

Over the last 100-plus years the Pentecostal-Charismatic church has witnessed miraculous conversions.

From the Azusa Street Revival, which began in 1906, a movement has grown to bring more people to Jesus than any other movement in history. While secularism continues to be on the rise in today's society, many areas of the world still experience church growth, thanks to Pentecostal-Charismatic Christians.

But the Pentecostal-Charismatic church is also plagued with sexual immorality, financial corruption, doctrinal error, personal flakiness, spiritual gullibility, prophetic abuse, and more. In many ways the state of the church today is not too different from how it was long ago in Corinth. To make matters worse, the church hides these acts under the cloak of liberty in the Holy Spirit.

Michael Brown sounds a wake-up call to the church and addresses some of the most glaring problems, from inaccurate prophetic words that obscure true ones to ministries using scripturally armed marketing techniques in order to manipulate believers into giving.

Brown shows us why we must clean up house so the church can grow, flourish, and fulfill God's kingdom purposes.

Tremendous accurate analysis to avoid deception

I listened to this and have done so again. The description and scripture to assist Christians today avoid and be alert to God as apposed to the lies is very helpful and refreshing. A warning to all and a bright light to stay on the path of truth. Excellent !

good reminder

I found this a good reminder of how without good biblical foundations and accountable fellowship how easy it is for us charismatic and pentecostal folk to fall into doctrinal heresy and self absorption. We have to continue to be good bereans through sifting everything by the scriptures and having a ready fellowship that keeps us accountable and honest before the scriptures. A downside to the book is that the narrator was trying too hard to make the audio experience flow. The technique of trailing off at the end of a point or sentence was too melodramatic got a bit annoying for me as I started getting into the book. It wasn't necessary. Just read it bro. Apart from that the book was a good reminder.
