THE PENTECOSTAL PARADIGM: A Seductive Paradise

This is a book about “super-sized Christian leaders” and “super-sized churches” who attempt to achieve fame and fortune by manipulating their followers. It is about the grandiosity and emotionalism that is at the core of THE PENTECOSTAL PARADIGM – A Seductive Paradise.

This book is for people who are concerned that their pastors and leaders:

• Demand total allegiance and trust
• Exaggerate miraculous cures
• Emphasize self-promotion more than self-discipline
• Make themselves into celebrities
• Substitute ecstatic experiences for deep spiritual worship
• Teach that you have to “prime God’s pump” to get any thing from God – buy a book, give “seed money,” speak in tongues, attend their conference
