One of the more prominent religious movements which, through the years, has been able to escape a strict and biblical investigation has been the Seventh-day Adventist church.  Yet, the movement is permeated with unbiblical doctrine and a suspicious heritage.  That’s why this laminated fanfold pamphlet is a beneficial resource.  The full-color laminated pamphlet covers key, more well-known facets of Adventism, as well as other, lesser-known, aspects.

• The King James Only Controversy by James R. White - (286 pages, $13.99)

• One Bible Only? by Roy E. Beacham and Kevin T. Bauder - (238 pages, $13.99)

This volume examines the question, “Is there only one inspired Bible?”  The debate over the veracity of modern translations of the Bible continues to create confusion in the minds of believers who know that Scripture lies at the heart of the Christian faith. Yet many don’t understand why some believers insist that the King James Version is the only accurate translation of the Bible.  The authors address the issues of origin, textual variant, and fallibility by drawing on the best current scholarship.

• Wandering Stars by Keith Gibson - (306 pages, $25.00)

If you only own one book on the history, heresies, and aberrations of the New Apostolic and Prophetic Movement, make it this one because it is so comprehensive. The author produces an incredible amount of material and information from firsthand sources and from the writings and public statements of these heretical teachers themselves. Their own words condemn them. What is exposed is a group of  false teachers who are presenting an imaginary and fictitious portrait of God, Christ, the Gospel, and the Christian life; and who end up with a diminished God, and a diminished Bible.

King James Only:

• God’s Super-Apostles by R. Douglas Geivett and Holly Pivec (159 pages, $12.99)

 There are probably a lot of Christians within evangelical and mainstream churches who know very little about the New Apostolic Reformation movement.  However, this group of authority-wielding, self-appointed apostles, prophets, miracle workers, and demon busters is a force to be reckoned with.  God's Super-Apostles is a well-written inventory of the critical teachings (apostles, prophets, spiritual warfare, and miracles) and key participants of the movement. Geivett and Pivec establish just how far afield and bizarre this movement is.  

• The Final Word by O. Palmer Robertson - (150 pages, $7.99)

This is a biblical response to the case for tongues and prophecy today. Direct response to arguments by Wayne Grudem and others.

• Where Is God In All Of This? by Deborah Howard - (158 pages, $9.99)

Among the prosperity gospel and Word-Faith proponents there is a distortion of what role adversity and sorrow play in the lives of  believers.  Additionally, nonbelievers frequently use evil, sickness, suffering, and tragedy to question God’s goodness and His power and authority — or even His existence.  Therefore, a biblical understanding of these things is essential for the Christian.  Howard’s book is an excellent resource in setting forth sound doctrine  and a proper interpretation of Scripture in this regard.

• Who Are You to Judge? by David Swavely - (213 pages, $13.99)

This book challenges our thinking in the areas of music, working mothers, birth control, gambling, alcohol consumption, demand feeding, frequency of the Lord’s Supper, home/Christian school vs. public school, fasting, movies, television, art, and even coffee drinking.  It takes every issue back to Scripture, examines it in the light of God’s Word, and refuses to go where God does not go.

• Why Christians Can’t Trust Psychology by Ed Bulkley - (368 pages, $13.99)

Thousands look to “Christian psychology” to help them attain victory over modern dysfunctions.  Some argue we need the Bible plus psychology, others say the Bible alone is sufficient.  Bulkley presents both sides of the issue and offers a trustworthy, biblical response.

• Why God Gave Us a Book  by Gene Edward Veith – (44 pages, $4.99)

Author Veith tells us that without a commitment to a sufficient Scripture, “many try to supplement the Bible with human reason, scientific scholarship, sociological research, or the findings of modern psychology. Still others try to supplement the Bible with mystical experiences, inner convictions, and personal revelations” (pg. 6). This volume can be easily read and comprehended in a single session and will help you develop a strong apologetic on the sufficiency of Scripture.

Catholicism:

• The 10 Most Important Things You Can Say to a Catholic by Ron Rhodes - (128 pages, $9.99)

Fact-filled and easy to read, this volume provides the tools needed to effectively talk to Catholics about their faith and guide them to the good news of God’s free grace through Jesus Christ.

Charismatic Extremism and Word-Faith Movement:

• From the Pinnacle of the Temple by Charles Farah, Jr. - (243 pages, $9.99)

One of the first works to examine the “faith” movement. Written by the professor of Theological and Historical Studies at Oral Roberts University.

• Unmasking the Antichrist by Ron Rhodes - (249 pages, $13.99)

So much artificial, exaggerated, and unbiblical guesswork surrounds the topic of the antichrist these days. The ‘‘name game’’ and ‘‘dating game’’ sell big but are always huge failures because they are based purely on speculation and imagination, not the Scriptures. That’s why Unmasking the Antichrist is timely and extremely relevant. It is a study not driven by sensationalism and news headlines — only by the Bible.

• What Did Jesus Mean? by Ron Rhodes - (239 pages, $10.99)

This easy-to-read work gives clear understanding of the sometimes complex expressions of Jesus. A subject index enhances the book.

• Truth Matters by Andreas Köstenberger, Darrell Bock, and Josh Chatraw  -  (188 pages, $12.99)

Although this book is geared toward college students, it would be of benefit to anyone who has been challenged by the skeptical assaults on the Bible and the Christian faith promoted by popular contemporary agnostic religion professor Bart Ehrman and similar non-Christian academics. College students, particularly, are a critical audience to target, since this is a time in life when young people are especially susceptible to being influenced away from the Christian faith by seemingly sophisticated, knowledgeable, and unbelieving professors.

• By Which We Are Saved  by Preston and Kelly Condra  -  (170 pages, $14.95)

For far too many Christians, witnessing to lost family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and others is not a priority. As the authors correctly note, “witnessing can be daunting, discouraging, and difficult in many ways.”  In view of this unfortunate reality, By Which We Are Saved is a strategic resource which shows how evangelistic efforts should be firmly based in apologetics.  This book is a valuable resource to edify members of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12) making them ready, willing, and able to share the Gospel to a lost and dying world.

• Singing and Making Music by Paul S. Jones - (315 pages, $16.99)

In far too many of its functions, the church of the twentieth-first century has embodied the postmodern, pragmatic culture of our day. One clear witness to this is in church worship music. Thankfully, there is Paul Jones who sounds the alarm and presents razor-sharp discernment and theological understanding in his Singing and Making Music. The volume is a collection of more than thirty easily digested essays (or chapters) which speak to a variety of issues in church music today.

• Right Thinking In a Church Gone Astray  by Nathan Busenitz, General Editor - (249 pages, $15.99)

This volume, written by a dozen men associated with John MacArthur and The Master’s Seminary, is a collection of essays which focus directly upon matters related to the church.  It covers a wide range of subjects, including Christian celebritism, Muslim debates, homosexuality, mysticism, charismatic teachings, and other important doctrinal concerns. The common thread running through Right Thinking is a call to evaluate every trend, every fad, every movement, every doctrine by the authoratative Word of God.  This book comes highly recommended.  

• Every Thought Captive by Richard L. Pratt, Jr. - (142 pages, $9.99)

It is helpful for the student of apologetics to have a basic understanding of the different views of apologetics (e.g., classical, presuppositional, and evidential methods), thereby drawing from the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses of each model. Every Thought Captive will provide the particulars of the presuppositional method and enhance a believer’s ability to effectively respond to objections to the Christian faith.  While one may not accept Pratt’s model wholesale, much can be gleaned from it.

• The Coming Apostasy by Mark Hitchcock and Jeff Kinley - (205 pages, $15.99)

This book addresses several threats infiltrating the Church including a replacement of the Bible as the believer’s source of authority with other things such as experiences, a replacement of the biblical Jesus with “another Jesus,” and a growing acceptance and praise of homosexuality and gender confusion by portions of the professing Christian Church. It contains good and salutary counsel, teaching, and exhortation considering some of the threats that are assaulting the Church today — not only from the outside, but also from within.

• God’s Not Dead by Rice Broocks - (279 pages, $15.99)

Despite a few caveats, this book is an easy-to-read resource to combat the “backlash of the meaninglessness of atheism and unbelief.”  The major portion of the book — chapters 2 through 10 — offers nine key proofs “that present a solid foundation for believers of all ages and educational backgrounds.”  The book spotlights not only the prominent athesists of our day, but also present-day apologists and theologians. While the book shares its name with the title of the popular movie, it is not a novelization of the screenplay, but an apologetic overview.

A Resource List of Significant Apologetic Works by Respected Authors for the Discerning Reader

 APOLOGETICS/THEOLOGY/DISCERNMENT ISSUES:

Apologetics, Theological, and Discernment Issues:

• 10 Mistakes People Make About Heaven, Hell and the Afterlife by Mike Fabarez  - (200 pages, $13.99)

This book is a great apologetic resource that takes on a variety of beliefs, which the author labels “mistakes,” that correspond to the end-of-life worldviews of not only those of our modern anti-Christian culture, but also of Catholics, cultists, such as Seventh-day Adventists and Jehovah’s Witnesses, and “so-called Christian leaders” such as Rob Bell, author of Love Wins.

• Believe by Randy Frazee (General Editor) - (520 pages, $24.99)

Because doctrine affects and shapes how we live, Believe is a book worth reading.  A key distinctive that separates this book from other general theological works is that the bulk of its content is cited Scripture (NKJV). The book is divided into three 10-chapter sections: Think (What do I believe?), Act (What should I do?), and Be (Who am I becoming?). This is a volume that provides both doctrine and practice. With its rich vein of Scripture, there is much helpful and rewarding content that can be mined from Believe.

• The End Times Survival Guide by Mark Hitchcock - (213 pages, $15.99)

Each of the book’s ten chapters deals with a particular topic, including: handling worry, spiritual warfare, prayer, what we should be doing while waiting for Christ’s return, being filled with the Spirit, viewing world events from God’s perspective, and Christ’s return.  The believer will be nourished, encouraged, and challenged at times by Hitchcock’s exposition of Scripture, and by his salutary teaching on subjects of practical importance and great relevance to believers in their Christian walk, in these difficult days.

• Why Does God Allow Evil? by Clay Jones – (272 pages, $15.99)

Clay Jones covers a lot of ground in this book as to why there is evil and suffering in this world, including answering where did evil originate, why did Adam sin, and why the effects of that sin are passed onto us.  And that’s just the first chapter!  This volume has a whole lot to offer in way of biblically and logically helping the believer work through the “problem” of why a good God allows evil and suffering, and in understanding the depths of human sinfulness.

• Visits to Heaven and Back – Are They Real? by Mark Hitchcock - (221 pages, $15.99)

In the late 20th century claims of visits to heaven or hell and back appeared in bookstores. This genre’s popularity increased in the new millennium. Mark Hitchcock brings the discerning Christian up to date with the latest wave of “heavenly tourists” and their books. Those who are interested in “heavenly tourism,” near-death experiences, purported visits to hell, the subject of heaven, and answers to some common questions about heaven will find this book helpful.

• God Breathed by Josh McDowell - (224 pages, $16.99)

This book provides an excellent overview of “the undeniable power and reliability of Scripture,” which is the subtitle of the book.  McDowell offers much supporting evidence to the one considering or skeptical of the Christian faith or for the believer who wants to gain a better understanding why he or she can confidently trust the Bible as the inspired, inerrant Word of God. The book is easy to read, but that doesn't mean it’s short on scholarly detail or evidences.   This book will equip you to give a defense that the Bible is indeed God-breathed.

• Daily Readings: The Early Church Fathers edited by Nick Needham - (400 pages, $19.99)

Daily devotionals can encourage, educate, inspire, strengthen, and challenge one’s Christian faith. But too often devotions stumble by using troublesome ideas and sources.  The quandary for the discerning Christian is in finding a devotional that is doctrinally sound.  Daily Readings: The Early Church Fathers is that devotional publication. It uses passages from the Church Fathers which express the basics of early Church belief about the nature of theology that will help the believer reflect upon and share the faith once delivered.

• Urban Legends of the New Testament by David Croteau - (255 pages, $14.99)

David Croteau says when one neglects a Scripture passage’s context or misuses historical background information or misunderstands the Greek language he can get a Bible ‘‘truth’’ circulated as though true but not true. He examines the New Testament and has collected what he sees as 40 of the most commonly misinterpreted passages. Every Bible student should have a section in his library which includes publications that examine and answer supposed discrepancies, alleged contradictions, and difficult sayings found in Scripture. This is a volume that should be in that section.

• The Most Misused Verses in the Bible by Eric J. Bargerhuff - (172 pages, $12.99)

Author Eric Bargerhuff warns us that Christians should be aware that, even for the child of God, “if mishandled and used inappropriately, the Bible can turn into a dangerous book.”  To assist in this safeguard, he offers a collection of 17 Scripture passages that he sees as the most misused verses in the Bible and which he places “into their proper context so that they can be interpreted and applied correctly.”
