Questions and Responses

Question: You have promoted books by A.W. Tozer, yet Tozer constantly quoted from Catholic mystics...

Question: I recently heard the term "progressive Christian" in conjunction with some controversial speakers.... I'm not familiar with the term or the controversy surrounding the speakers. What can you tell me?

Question: I was shocked by [Brennan Manning's book] The Signature of Jesus. My impression is that he is a Catholic mystic in evangelical “wool.” Is he trying to pull that wool over our eyes or what?

Question: I recently read some of St. John of the Cross, Dark Night of the Soul. That night I had bad dreams and was troubled in spirit.... Am I imagining it, or is this work counter-Christian?

Question: I was literally stunned by a passage a friend read to me from a book by Karen Mains...what seemed to be her communication with a personal spirit guide. Am I reading too much into her writing?

Question: Our grandson and some of his friends from church seem to be obsessed with the Star Wars film series. They trade Star Wars cards and play Star Wars games. I don’t feel good about it but don’t know why. Can you give me some information?

Question: The church I now attend is embracing some teachings of Watchman Nee. What do you know about him, and especially about his book, The Latent Power of the Soul?

Question (composite of several): One of the hottest books in Christian bookstores is Quenching the Spirit by William De Arteaga....What do you think of it?
