<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #7f6000; font-size: large;">This book is not only an historical account the night Jesus died, it's a book that will help you search your own heart. In a borrowed or rented room atop some shops or large family dwelling in Jerusalem, the drama unfolded. The events and teaching recorded in <strong>John 13-16</strong>, commonly known as <strong>the Upper Room Discourse</strong>, reveal some of the most poignant and powerful promises for believers in all of Scripture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">Jesus and His disciples were standing on the precipice of the darkest night in the history of the world. The Lord of glory was about to be betrayed and murdered. The disciples would be scattered, and the boldest of them would deny even knowing Him. The Lord knew full well that He Himself would soon undergo an unimaginable deluge of woe. He would be spit on and mocked by evil men. He would bear the sins of the world. He would be cursed with the wrath of God for others' sins. He would feel as if His Father had utterly abandoned Him. Any other man in that situation would have been in such a state of uncontrollable agitation that he would never have been able to focus his attention on the needs of others - but Jesus was different. He wanted His followers to know the peace of the One who has overcome the world. During those final hours before Jesus' betrayal, He gave His disciples - and consequently, all believers throughout history - His parting promises, that is the inheritance of every believer in Christ. In The Upper Room, pastor John MacArthur takes us back to that night and the glorious hope we have in Christ. If you're interested in searching your heart to see if you are humble, loving, loyal, read</span> <span style="color: #7f6000;">the book. I highly recommend it.</span></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">In Cries from the Cross, Erwin Lutzer examines the last words of Jesus, when He hung on the cross. In looking closely at these words, we can better grasp what the cross meant to Jesus, and to us. Rediscover the heavy weight of sin, His weakness, sorrow and compassion. The cross beckons to the hearts of those in need of grace. As you journey into the heart of Jesus, your own heart will be shaped to His.</span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">Islam is on the rise all over the West, including America. In this compelling book, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer urges Christians to see this as both an opportunity to share the gospel and a reason for concern. We have now reached a tipping point--the spread of Islam is rapidly altering the way we live. These changes are cause for alarm, for they endanger our freedoms of speech and religion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">At the same time, this opens an incredible door of ministry for Christians, for Muslims normally do not have access to the gospel in their own lands. In The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, readers will discover helpful answers to these questions and more:</span></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">•How does Islam's growing influence affect me personally?<br />•In what ways are our freedoms of speech and religion in danger?<br />•How can I extend Christ's love to Muslims around me?</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">This sensitive, responsible, and highly informative must-read will not only equip you to better relate to your Muslim friends, neighbors, and coworkers, but will also encourage you with the reminder that ultimately the enduring truth of the cross will prevail.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">Author <strong>Warren B. Smith</strong> has written a must read book documenting his concerns about the popular Christian devotional book <em><strong>"Jesus Calling".</strong></em> The devotional book written by Sarah Young has sold millions of copies by it's publisher Thomas Nelson, yet what's been pointed out in Smith's book shows there are <em>similar new age messages/teachings</em> from a new age book from the 1930's called: "<em><strong>God Calling</strong></em>", which Sarah Young praised as an inspiration in her own book: Jesus Calling. Young's book: "<em><strong>Jesus Calling</strong></em>" is a collection of messages presented in the form of a daily devotional book. Smith shows the "Jesus" of Sarah Young's book is "<strong>Another Jesus</strong>" and not the Jesus of the Bible.</span> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">Warren Smith warns most urgently about his concerns on pg. 43: "The very real danger of spiritual experences is that they can be used to introduce <em><strong>new truths</strong></em> and <em><strong>new revelations</strong></em>. This is what the New Age is founded on, and the experiential "truths" and "revelations" of the New Age have been in the process of "infecting" the church for many years now. As these <em><strong>new truths</strong></em> and <em><strong>new revelations</strong></em> supplant God's Word, they definitely revolutionize man's thoughts of Jesus Christ---which opens the door to embracing "another Jesus."<br /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #7f6000;"><br /> </span><span style="color: #7f6000;"><strong>For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom <br /> we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, <br /> which ye have not received, or another gospel, which<br /> ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. </strong> (2 Corinthians 11:4)</span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;">The author Warren Smith shows how Young's Devotional book contradicts Scripture as he cites various quotes from the Jesus Calling book. Smith warns about the danger of contemplative prayer which is also promoted in Sarah Young's book and the concerns of elevating spiritual experiences over the Word of God. This is a book that gives much needed discernment about this popular christian book. Recommended reading.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Gary Gilley’s new book:<b> Out of Formation </b>deals with the Spiritual Formation Movement. This movement is re-introducing ancient and mystical spiritual practices to the modern Church and Evangelicals are jumping on the bandwagon to be a part of this movement. Popular Christian and Evangelical publishers have made it easy for Christians to access these Spiritual Formation practices, and have recently in the last decade produced volumes and series of books promoting it. Current popular Evangelical authors quote christian mystics in their books and recommend ancient practices as a fresh means of spiritual growth. (See pg 9) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">Gilley cautions Christians to be aware and concern about the drift away from proper biblical discipleship which is given to us from the Bible on spiritual discipline and growing in Christ. Gilley cautions early in the book “It is absolutely essential to get this connection early in our study. Many if not most, of the disciplines and instructions found within spiritual formation are <b>not</b> drawn from Scripture; they are drawn from imaginations of men and women passed along as tradition.” (pg. 25).</span></div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"> Pastor Gilley examines several ancient/ and mystical spiritual disciplines of the Spiritual Formation Movement such as: Contemplative Prayer, Sacred Reading (Lectio Divina), Solitude and Silence, Journaling, spiritual mentoring, pilgrimage, Sabbath keeping, fasting and discernment and revelation to name a few, and explains their history, origin, and details about the practices, and who in modern church life are supporting and promoting these ancient and mystical spiritual disciplines and building their ministries upon their uses. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">This book asks: What can be learned from this renewed interest in spiritual formation, and what are the dangers? The book is divided in two parts. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><b><u>Part One</u></b> of this book has been written to interact with the history, teachings and dangers of the Spiritual Formation Movement. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><b><u>Part Two</u></b> turns to the biblical alternatives for spiritual formation. It examines the means, or disciplines, which the Word of God clearly identify as ways God has designed for His people to be transformed into Christ-likeness, and to experience intimacy </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: large;">This book is well researched and is a comprehensive study on the Spiritual Formation Movement. Serious and relevant questions are asked and answered in this book. This is highly recommended reading. </span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;">Featured heavily on <strong>Oprah</strong> and touted by critics and readers alike, <i>A New Earth</i> by Eckhart Tolle is finding a huge following in the culture. Promoting ideas and beliefs that seem godly and good, this bestselling book is wrapping the country in a cocoon of sound spirituality. Or is it? </span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">It may sound right---almost Christian, in fact---but something isn't quite right says <strong>Richard Abanes</strong>, the author of such books as <i>The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code</i>. Equipping Christians with biblical answers and viewpoints, Abanes helps believers---as well as the curious---understand that Eckhart Tolle's message is dangerous. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;">Easy to read, <i><strong>A New Earth, An Old Deception</strong></i> is a concise refutation of the Oprah-promoted bestseller, providing a clear biblical response to this new age message. Topics include Tolle's misuse of Scripture, false teachings on God, the Bible's teaching on evil, <i>A New Earth's</i> version of salvation compared to God's plan, and much more.</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;">The charismatic movement has made an impact on the church unparalleled in history. But one legacy of the movement is confusion and mushy thinking. In <i><strong>Charismatic Chaos</strong></i>, John MacArthur calls for biblical evaluation and analyzes the doctrinal differences between charismatics and non-charismatics in the light of Scripture.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #38761d;">The desire for a thriving, healthy, and productive life is as strong as ever, especially in tough economic times. As people become more disillusioned at the state of the economy, they also become more susceptible to the lure of the prosperity gospel and its teachings of health, wealth, and happiness for the faithful. But what happens when the promise of prosperity overshadows the promise of the real gospel--the gospel of Christ?<br />
<br />
Believing that the prosperity gospel is constructed upon faulty theology, authors David W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge take a closer look at five crucial areas of error relating to the prosperity gospel. In a fair but firm tone, the authors discuss the history and theology of the prosperity gospel movement to reveal its fraudulent core biblical teachings that have been historically and popularly misinterpreted, even by some of today's most well-known pastors. After an introduction and assessment of the movement, readers are invited to take a look at Scripture to understand what the Bible really says about wealth, poverty, suffering, and giving.<br />
<br />
Theologically sound but acessible to all readers, Health, Wealth & Happiness: Has the Prosperity Gospel Overshadowed teh Gospel of Christ is sure to become a trusted resource for laypersons, pastors, and Christian leaders.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Almost everywhere one turns in the church one sees psychology. The psychologizing of Christianity has reached epidemic proportions. We see it everywhere in the church, from psychologized sermons to psychologized persons. However, the psychologizing of the church is neither biblically nor scientifically justifiable. Beneath all the biblical reasons why Christians should not pursue psychotherapy and its underlying psychologies is this one fact.</span> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">The use of psychotherapy and its underlying psychologies denies the sufficiency of Scripture for the issues of life normally taken to a psychotherapist. This book demonstrates the fact that psychological explanations about life and psychological solutions to life's problems are questionable at best, detrimental at worst, and spiritual counterfeits at least.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">American Christianity is dying a slow death at its own hands. Instead of positively affecting the secular culture, we are being infected by it under the guise of being "seeker-friendly" and "loving." Soon, the church may be an exact mirror of the culture that seeks to destroy us. </span></div>
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">

<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #660000;">With a lack of strong, principled leaders, and with followers who want their ears tickled instead of being challenged to pursue righteousness, American Christianity is writing its own epitaph as it slowly dies. Unless we reverse course by embracing the complete, absolute truth of God's Word and stop trying to redefine God in our selfish human image, only a remnant will remain from a once-powerful church.</span> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;">Do we have the courage to challenge our leaders and ourselves to reject secular culture and its influences? Or will we continue to die a slow death at our own hands as we continue to inhale the cancer of secular humanism? Time is running out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: large;">At first glance it may seem easy to put Bible heroes on a pedestal, and to think, <i>They were specially chosen by God and had unique gifts and abilities. How could I possibly be like them?</i> However, the reality is that the Bible figures we admire were human, with strengths and weaknesses just like us. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In <i>Twelve Unlikely Heroes</i>, best-selling author and teacher from Grace to You ministries, John MacArthur takes a closer look at several of these saints to show how God's glory shines all the clearer through their imperfect stories. You'll get to know the lives and times of Joseph, Jonathan, Esther, James and many others. In doing so, it will become clear how their stories apply to our lives today, and reveal the true Hero behind every witness.</span> </div>

<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anthony Selvaggio has written an interesting book on the modern-day effects of worldliness on the Christian. He does not just address outward behavior but speaks to the internal working worldliness has upon the heart. This I found unique. The short description in the foreword of the book I think sums it up best when he says: “While external behavior practices do matter, the real battle to avoid worldliness occurs internally, in our hearts and minds. While we have been consumed with external matters, worldliness has gained a foothold in our thought processes. Satan has been very successful in getting us to think like the world. This book is an effort to counter Satan’s attack on our minds. It’s a counterinsurgency aimed at thwarting the evil intentions of our adversary.”</span> </div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<span style="font-size: large;">The book outlines <u>7 toxic ideas</u> and then addresses these concerns with scripture. The chapters I found most helpful and interesting were those that dealt with Consumerism and new Technology and it’s effect on our culture, the Christian and the church. Those who would most benefit from this book would be those 35 and under. He does a thorough examination of the 7 ideas he presents and how these ideas are opposite to a Christian worldview and explains why these toxic ideas are non-christian. A good short read. </span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY">
In this book you will discover and learn that there has been an intentional departure from believing the Bible is Inerrant and trustworthy, and has plunged the church of the 21st century down the treacherous slippery slope of accommodation and compromise. Paul Smith carefully documents the sobering truth in this book. </div>
<br />
<dir>
<dir>
Some of the questions that will be answered are: <br />
Are there clear historical markers that identify this paradigm shift? <br />
<br />
Why have so many evangelicals identified themselves as “new evangelicals”? <br />
<br />
What is the relationship between Fuller Seminary, the Purpose Driven Church, and the Emergent Church Movement? <br />
<br />
How is the Emergent Church push for globalization harmonizing with the new world order in these prophetic last days? <br />
</dir>
</dir>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Paul Smith answers these questions with case studies and documentation of the events that lead up to where we are now. The author shows the progression of ideas that were birthed in aberrant church beliefs and it’s historical origin. Smith writes that New evangelicals learned about the word “dialectic” from Karl Barth and neo-orthodoxy, and is today used by Emergent churchmen. This decline was only possible when the inerrancy of the Bible, it’s absolute truth was no longer believed by church and influential seminary leaders. </div>

<div align="JUSTIFY">
We must not forget that the church rests on the twin sufficiency of : the inerrant word of God - the Bible and the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit. We must stand firm always on these truths. Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Proverbs 30:5 and 2 Timothy 3:16,17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Economic chaos, immorality, cultural decay, terrorism and global upheaval have convinced many that we are living in the twilight days of America. Dr. Robert Jeffress agrees, but he is quick to add a note of hope and challenge to be salt and light as God‘s children in this world. <em>Twilight’s Last Gleaming</em> makes the case that although we cannot prevent America’s eventual demise, we can delay it…and make a difference for eternity at the same time. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stephen J. Nichols is more than a storyteller. He is truly a teacher, presenting a winning apologia for the necessity of church history and the importance of the Reformation for today. <i>The Reformation</i> deals with difficult questions of unity, ecumenism, and pluralism, and---despite its playful tone---it considers these issues in the spirit of the Reformation. Accordingly, <i>The Reformation</i> also contains an appendix of source documents, including excerpts from the Ninety-Five Theses and significant confessions and catechisms. </span><div align="JUSTIFY">

<span style="font-size: large;">"Professor Stephen Nichols is already well-known for his remarkable ability to make history live and sing. This new work is no exception and will simply enhance his well-deserved reputation. It is a scintillating helicopter tour of the amazing men---and wonderful women---of the Reformation. Here conviction joins with courage, holiness with humor, in a wonderful medley of Christian heroes and heroines. You will find reading this book a pleasure and a challenge-from beginning to end. But take note of this church history health warning---these pages may prove addictive!"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I love church history. I consider it absolutely tragic that so few contemporary Christians have any real sense of their heritage. They know a little bit of New Testament history, can list hundreds of today's best and worst teachers, but know almost nothing of the 2000 years between.<br />
<br />
The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World is one of a long line of books authored by Stephen Nichols, professor at Lancaster Bible College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Nichols is a prolific author who seems to be releasing books with impressive regularity. To this point all of his books have centered on church history. He has written several works on Jonathan Edwards, one each on Martin Luther and Gresham Machen, and one providing a guided tour of classic Christian writing. This new title "goes behind the scenes and uncovers the human side of the larger-than-life Reformers through user-friendly narrative stories on the Reformation."</span><br />

As she reaches out to find the truth, God intercedes to bring that truth through a Christian witness and His Word. Her testimony for Christ and God’s word is much needed in today’s Church, where oftentimes discernment and knowledge in world religions and it’s beliefs and practices is lacking and gives an Apologetic responds where it is needed. This book is excellent. This is a book that every Christian should read. <strong>Recommended reading</strong>. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;">After leaving India for the West, Caryl, as a young adult becomes involved in the 1960’s hippie movement and unwittingly embraces Hinduism, which was in the process of being repackaged as The New-Age. </span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04;">Raised a devout Roman Catholic, Caryl realized that Catholicism, Hinduism and the New Age Movement were all comprised of similar beliefs which had managed to gain inroads into various Protestant denominations. By the mid 1990’s, this New Age spirituality was calling itself the Emerging Church and being welcomed into the Evangelical Church. Today, the New Spirituality, with its foundation in Eastern Contemplative Mysticism accepts interspirituality, the idea that all religions are equal paths to God.</span>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">From the cover: Many believe they can practice yoga postures, breathing, and focusing techniques devoid of yoga’s spirituality, not realizing that yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with divinity. </span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">Today, yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance and in America has more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in 20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness instructors, these trainers are in reality the leading missionaries of eastern religion in the west. The twenty-seven billion dollar a year yoga industry is marketed to students, athletes, businessmen, pregnant women and senior citzens promising solutions for stress reduction, concentration problems, and issues of self confidence.</span> </div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">Once viewed by Christians as a pagan import from the East, yoga has now become mainstream in the church through “Christ-centered yoga classes” designed to help improve spirituality and experience “the presence of God”.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the cover: This book gives reasons why Christians should be opposed to counseling, literally Stop Counseling! and Start Ministering! Reasons are revealed why counseling, because it is problem-centered, inevitably involves sinful conversations. <br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Central to ministering is helping individuals in need to overcome their fixation on their problems and encouraging them to become Christ-centered on a daily basis. <br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The book provides ways of equipping those in need with the truths of Scripture and encouraging them to live the daily life that will be honoring to the Lord and beneficial for meeting life’s problems without sinfully talking about them. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
“Instead of following the ways of the world, Christians need to search the Word to find out how God changes individuals from the inside out without one human being probing into another person’s inner man, which only God can know. God does the primary work of change and has clearly set forth what believers are to do for one another: preach, pray, admonish, instruct, help, and encourage one another to seek the Lord daily through praying; worshiping; giving thanks; reading, studying, memorizing, and mediating on Scriptures; thinking biblically; walking by faith; loving, serving, and obeying God; and loving and serving one another. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
This care of souls is to be practiced mutually in the body of Christ so that all may grow and flourish in the “faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3). There is no system or program. Instead, it is the very life of Christ in every believer bearing fruit and bringing each to maturity through the Word of God, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the fellowship of the saints.” </div>

Ben Witherington, one of the top Jesus scholars, will have none of it. There were no secret Gnostic teachings in the first century. With leading scholars and popular purveyors of bad history in his crosshairs, Witherington reveals what we can—and cannot—claim to know about the real Jesus. The Bible, not outside sources, is still the most trustworthy historical record we have today.</span> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000;">Utilizing a fresh "personality profile" approach, Witherington highlights core Christian claims by investigating the major figures in Jesus’s inner circle of followers: Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Peter, James the brother of Jesus, Paul, and the mysterious "beloved disciple." </span></div><div align="JUSTIFY"></div><span style="color: #660000;"><div align="JUSTIFY"><br />
</div></span><div align="JUSTIFY"></div><div align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #660000;">In each chapter Witherington satisfies our curiosities and answers the full range of questions about these key figures and what each of them can teach us about the historical Jesus.

<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Product Description</b><br />
</span><span style="color: #660000;">Of late, Jesus has been in the media and news outlets repeatedly. But who is this Jesus everyone is buzzing about? Sensational claims about Jesus have been made, yet there is little or no hard evidence to support such outrageous claims. Pop-culture has tried to reinvent Jesus. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br />
</span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #660000;">Biblical scholar Ben Witherington masterfully refutes the recent claims and implications of Bart Ehrman, the Gospel of Judas, "lost Christianities", and secret first-century "Gnostic" teachings. Dr. Witherington focuses on the impact of Jesus upon his earliest followers, the so-called inner circle from a historical point of view: Mary, James, Jude, Peter, the Beloved Disciple, Mary Magdalene, Junia (Joanna)and Paul, those who knew him, (or in Paul's case knew other eyewitnesses) and his character best to reveal the truth and reliability of the biblical accounts.</span><br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04;">For nearly two thousand years prior to the rise of modern psychiatry and psychotherapy, the church has ministered to believers experiencing mental, emotional, and behavioral problems by using the teachings of the Scriptures and in the power of the Holy Spirit.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Contemporary Christianity’s embrace of psychology raises an important question: Was there an insufficiency on the part of God’s Word and His Holy Spirit during those two millennia that made it necessary for the church to turn to modern psychotherapy in order to more effectively address a Christian’s problems of living?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Crucial answers to that question will be the focus of this program, as we consider the influence of psychological counseling upon the church. In the history of contemporary Christendom, no secular enterprise has had such a profound influence on Christianity as has psychological counseling. The critical questions raised by these developments is: Have they been helpful or harmful to the body of Christ? T.A. McMahon, co-author of The Seduction of Christianity, is your host for this ground-breaking documentary. Featuring perspectives and insights of both Christian and secular experts including Martin and Deidre Bobgan, Tana Dineen and Dave Hunt, this powerful presentation exposes the roots—and results—of Christianity’s embrace of the beliefs of Freud, Jung, Rogers, Maslow and others.</span> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
