Counterfeit Revival: Looking For God in All the Wrong Places

Front Cover
HarperChristian + ORM, Jul 28, 2001 - Religion - 420 pages
Hank Hanegraaff documents the danger of looking for God in all the wrong places and goes behind the scenes into the wildly popular and bizarre world of contemporary revivalism. Hanegraaff masterfully exposes the stark contrast between these deeds of the flesh and a genuine work of the Spirit by contrasting modern "revivals" with the scriptural examples of God's movement among His people.
