Editorial Reviews

I had begun to search around and find a study book for the class I’m teaching on cults and religions. One of the other teachers found your book. The material is very condensed and simple to follow. It has a good synoptic presentation of subjects…. Thank you so much for the material.

Greater Northwest Baptist Church - Robert Murff

I found the book very informative and simple to understand. The Bible speaks so much about false religions and many of my Bible students ask me questions about other religions. This resource puts the information I need all in one place.
