A must-read for leaders. Juster tells of his personal involvement in a church that drifted into full blown spiritual deception. It is at times frightening and sobering to read this insightful analysis of good-intentioned intelligent people as they ignore warning signs and slowly progress into spiritual and moral failure.Because we are in an age of profound social confusion Juster says we should look for several crucial danger signs when assessing a congregation: Inadequacy of Ledership According to Biblical Criteria, Bitterness and Prophetic Direction, Loss of Scripture as Objective Revelation, Preoccupation With Miracles as Opposed to Love, Methodology of Indoctrination, Isolationism, and several more.The real brilliance of this book is in Juster's ability to describe the necessary relationship between intellectual/evangelicalism and charismatic experience.
