    About this audiobook

    Over the last hundred-plus years the Pentecostal-Charismatic church has witnessed miraculous conversions. From the Azusa Street Revival, which began in 1906, a movement has grown to bring more people to Jesus than any other movement in history. While secularism continues to be on the rise in today's society, many areas of the world still experience church growth, thanks to Pentecostal-Charismatic Christians. But the Pentecostal-Charismatic church is also plagued with sexual immorality, financial corruption, doctrinal error, personal flakiness, spiritual gullibility, prophetic abuse, and more. In many ways the state of the church today is not too different from how it was long ago in Corinth. To make matters worse, the church hides these acts under the cloak of liberty in the Holy Spirit. Michael Brown sounds a wake-up call to the church and addresses some of the most glaring problems, from inaccurate prophetic words that obscure true ones to ministries using scripturally armed marketing techniques in order to manipulate believers into giving. Brown shows us why we must clean up house so the church can grow, flourish, and fulfill God's kingdom purposes.

      Molto buono incoraggiante Io penso che molti cristiani devono leggere questo libro.
      A Gesù sia la Gloria.
      Amen...

      This is a very well-balanced and eye-opening material. The book is filled with history, examples, critique, and SOUND biblical doctrine. I was clarified in many many things, one of them was the soooo overly used double portion of Elisha/Elijah, thank you Doctor Brown. Imagine how tremendous it was that when I was in the chapter of the prosperity preachers and stuff is when Benny Him renounced or rebuked publicly about sowing $$ to receive! God does work in tremendous ways!

      Great read! Ties in well with Dr. Browns authentic fire. Shines light on false doctrine.
