| The Marks of a Cult - A Biblical Anaylsis DVD Retail Price: $24.99 CBD Price: $22.99

Excerpt
In today's religiously diverse and relativistic culture, labeling a group a cult seems extreme to many people. Confusion abounds about what constitutes real Christianity. Why are Baptists considered Christians, but not Mormons? Or why is the Jehovah Witness religion classified as an anti-Christian cult while Presbyterians, Wesleyan, and Pentecostals are simply seen as denominations within the Christian faith?
With the explosion of different sects that claim to honor and follow Jesus, how does one differentiate between true Biblical Christianity and an aberrant religious movement? Just what are 'the marks of a cult?' Join us for a journey into the heart of Biblical revelation and the constant struggle of truth against lies, the apostalic faith against the 'doctrines of demons. This documentry does more than point fingers; it explains the absolute essentials of the Faith and just how and why Christians can properly and necessarily refer to certain sects as 'cults.'
The Marks Of A Cult is also a powerful apologetic on the need for Christians to become more rooted in the Biblical historic faith, with its creeds and confessions, and to be better prepared to give 'a defense to any one who calls you to an account for the hope that is in you.' (1 Peter 3:15) 110 Minute DVD Wide-Screen, Special Edition.

| Don't All Religions Lead to God? Tough Questions, Revised Garry Poole Retail Price: $9.99 CBD Price: $8.19
( In Stock )
Excerpt In this study, you'll take a look at what other world religions teach and compare each with Christianity. You'll also look at two prominent groups that claim to be Christan (Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons) to see how their doctrines compare with biblical Christian teaching. Then you'll have the chance to wrestle with the implications of a message that says all the outside groups are missing the crucial ingredient. In six discussions designed to get small groups thinking and interacting, each guide in the Tough Questions series deals frankly with objections commonly raised about Christianity. You'll engage in the kind of spirited dialog that shows the Christian faith can stand up to scrutiny.

Excerpt Rose Publishing has produced extremely helpful fold-out pamphlets for over a decade, and now seven of them are collected in a sturdy paperback. As the title implies, this volume addresses Christianity in relation to cults, the occult and other religions. Comparisons of the other belief systems are set beside Christianity to illustrate the differences between them. In-depth examinations of Islam, Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses are included, as these belief systems are very relevant to Christians today, and a final chapter demonstrating how one can witness to cult members make this a very useful collection of these popular guides.

How Is Christianity Different from Other Religions? Contenders Bible Study Series John Ankerberg, Dillon Burroughs Retail Price: $7.99 CBD Price: $5.99
( Available to ship on or about 06/14/13. )
Excerpt Is Jesus "the way" or only one of many ways to God? Does God reject the millions of people who follow other religious traditions? Are followers of many of today's religions really talking to the same God and teaching the same basic beliefs? In this series of discussions, you'll examine what some of the major world religions teach and compare each with the beliefs of Christianity. You'll also investigate what Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses believe, since they are often labeled "Christian," yet hold several beliefs that are distinct from traditional Christianity.
The Contenders series is purposely designed to give truth seekers an opportunity to ask questions and probe into the basics of Christianity within the friendly, caring environment of small group discussion. The questions are presented to represent the viewpoints of both the Christian and the skeptic. Those who already follow Jesus will grow in the basic beliefs of the Christian faith and understand how to address the issues of their friends who are still exploring Christianity. 6 Sessions.

Often, even members of the group don't know the full truth about either the history of the teachings of this fast-growing church.

( In Stock )
Excerpt Although the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is not the largest or best known religious group in America, its belief system pervades our society, especially in politics and on college campuses across the country. Unitarian Universalism is a "politically correct" faith, in which truth is relative; "tolerance" of "alternative lifestyles" and beliefs including homosexuality, radical feminism, and abortion on demand is the highest virtue; reason, conscience, and experience are the guides to truth; and the Bible is a myth and Jesus Christ but one of many inspirational (but fallible) teachers. This guide explores and refutes the beliefs and attitudes of what is the most highly educated of all religious groups in North America (49.5% are college graduates).

New Age Movement Zondervan Guide to Cults & Religious Movements Series Ron Rhodes Retail Price: $7.99 CBD Price: $6.29 Buy 48 or more for $5.98 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt Reincarnation,auras, and energizing crystals--surely these are the stuff of fairy tales, nothing more. People don't really speak to ancient Egyptian holy men, or listen seriously to Shirley Maclaine, for that matter--do they? Drawing from a range of occult, pagan, and pseudo-scientific traditions, the New Age Movement is broad, diffuse, hard to nail down--and insidiously dangerous. Its belief in the "divinity of humanity," its emphasis on "self-actualization," and its looking forward to a coming utopian "new world" have tremendous appeal. But does it have the truth?
Each Zondervan Guide to Cults and Religious Movements book has five sections:- A concise introduction to the group
- An overview of the group's theology--in its own words
- Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group
- A bibliography with sources for further study
