The world is spinning out of control; most people are now confused and frightened. At last, they are seeking the Lord Who alone can save them. But sadly, not knowing Him and where to go, they are... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Bob and Penny Lord have written about a dozen excellent books explaining and defending the Holy Roman Catholic Church. They do so in a spirit of love, not anger or hatred."Cults" explains succinctly and interestingly what various groups --- such as Mormonism, Adventism, Christian Science, the Unification Church, The Jehovahs Witnesses, Hinduism, and various New Age sects and cults --- believe; why they can be considered "cults;" why they cannot be considered Christian; and why Christians of all denominations should stay clear --- or at least be wary --- of them.Members of the groups mentioned in this book may be offended that they are being called "cults." But they will be hard-pressed to deny that the Lords' description of their beliefs are accurate. The book does not outright condemn the cults; it merely explains where they are coming from and what they believe. The book does not outright say, "Never join these groups;" but rather, "Before you get in too deeply know what you're getting into, and what you may be giving up."This is definitely a book I'd recommend, especially to spiritual-minded young people in high school and college. If I had read a book like this in my younger days I might have been spared many fruitless years of "searching for the Truth."I can find only one fault with this book, and it is not in the content or writing. It seems as if the publisher or editor needs to do a bit of proof-reading to eliminate some misspellings and grammatical errors; also toward the end of the book some of the footnote numbers are incorrect. But overlook these minor points and enjoy this book!
