Critiquing false teaching in "Christian" books.

One reason I always say be wary of reading Christian books is because there are false teachings everywhere today. Publishers will buy any semi known or well known person if they think they can profit off of their popularity. They no longer care about biblical truth and biblical teaching, they care about money. Do not be swayed by the popularity of the book, (or people in church groups who want to do a book study using them 😑😒). 

If you find a reputabable ministry and preacher (here are some, enough to keep you busy your entire lifetime), utilize their sermons and books for study.  Whether alive or dead their books are solid and reliable, and worth reading. Much of their publications are based on and come from a series of sermons which they condensed into a book for you, and can be used as gifts you can give to others to minister to them (saved and unsaved). 

My belief is, we should know the Scriptures of God very well before even looking into books written by men. Read the Bible at least 5x cover to cover before you consider looking at others books. Then start with theology books that focus on Doctrine of Scripture, get a furm grasp on that as a disciple of Christ, before moving on to books about Christian living and ones addressing cultural issues. 

Many times you wont know (as a new or growing believer) who are false teachers and what blatant or subtle doctrines of demons they are preaching as if truth. They bank on most "Christians" not reading or knowing the Bible, so they easily decieve and dupe people. Even those who are sons of reputable preaching fathers (alive or dead) have chosen to follow Satan and money over God and truth, and they decieve millions with their books, "preaching" and videos, while appearing good and Christian... they are anything but. They are wolves in sheeps clothing that Scripture warns about. 

As examples of this, here are critiques on problematic teachings in popular books:
