Never will my husband and I forget the huge impact and influence that 'The Seduction of Christianity' has had on our spiritual life! I am often skeptical when I hear that a particular book has "changed someone's life" but I have to say that this book did just that for us when first we read it. We were in a 'hyper-charismatic' church at the time. My husband had not long been saved and we both were craving Bible teaching. As we read the Word and compared it with what we were getting from the pulpit and from fellow church members, confusion began to set in. We talked with the pastor, the superintendent of the denomination, 'mature' Christians, etc. etc., and got no answers to the discrepancies we were seeing in the movement versus what the Bible was saying. What we did get were explanations based on experiences. When we asked for verses to back up these experiences we received scriptures taken out of context or 'verses' that were not even in the Bible. Somehow Dave's book, 'The Seduction of Christianity', came into our hands. As I read it I could hardly believe there was such deception, indeed seduction, in the Body of Christ. At times I felt sure Dave was exaggerating. I look back now and think what innocents we were. The Bible calls us sheep. I understand that term a lot better than I did then and I can see we were following false shepherds. We read and re-read 'Seduction' and were convinced of its truth because of the scriptures Dave used copiously throughout. And they were in context. We praise and thank God for Dave Hunt and his willingness to stand for the Word. We know all too well the reproaches that fell on him because of his stand for the truth! But he is just beginning to reap the rewards of a life lived for God. I am so happy for Dave although my heart is broken. We are looking forward to seeing him in Glory, maybe soon!!
