Counterfeit Revival by Hank Hanegraaff

From the Back Cover

The best-selling expose

by the host of The Bible Answer Man broadcast,

expanded and updated for the 21st century

COUNTERFEIT REVIVAL goes behind the scenes and uncovers the contradictions, false experiences, spiritual deception, and seductive allure of esoteric experience masquerading under the banner of truth. COUNTERFEIT REVIVAL draws you into the wildly popular and bizarre world of contemporary revivalism as it documents the devastating impact on congregations world-wide.

Counterfeit Revival provides biblical remedies to counter a paradigm shift that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of contemporary Christianity.

Hank Hanegraaff knows what he is talking about. He brings his unique talent, knowledge, research, and experience to full expression in this eminently readable, inherently memorable, and exhaustively documented evaluation of today's revivalism.

Satan is a master counterfeiter. Rather than presenting evil in its naked deformity, he masquerades as an angel of enlightenment. He wants people to encounter him and think they are in touch with the living God. His deception is a counterfeit revival.

"Truth is so obscure in these times and falsehood so established,

that unless we love the truth, we cannot know it."

--Blaise Pascal
