Awesome.

Many people in the reviews are complaining. (They’re probably cult members) and all of their complains are surface level and silly. I would push you to review the negative reviews. And try to find a real attempt at attacking the author. You will find shallow hollow claims.

Christ is God.

A must for the true and zealous evangelist!

I could not put this audio book down. I will admit there is a dizzying multitude of cults out there. it takes a lot to keep up with all of them discussed here. I am only surprised that Seventh-Day Adventism was not treated here.

The audio voice is awful!

An otherwise definitive book that accurately discusses the cults doctrine vs orthodox Christianity almost butchered by the robotic voice reader. PLEASE pay a voice actor or AI to mimic Martins voice and read with the same passion and convictions he spoke with.

important

everyone needs to read this book. it's too important to gloss over. please read asap

Great book

Good book every Christian should read it. Even if you’ve been a Christian for a long time this is a great book to read.

The Definitive Work on Cults in America

Cults have held a fascination for Christians and non-Christians alike as they have sprung up over the years. Indeed, some of the greatest tragedies have occurred because of Cults, like Jonestown and others like it. But what motivates these strange beliefs? How do they differ from each other and are there any similarities? And in fact, what is a cult to begin with?

The late Walter Martin spent years collecting inside information from the various cults that were operating in his time, and the work was continued by others after his death in the 1980s. Kingdom of the Cults is the definitive work on the subject of cults in America, and it’s extensive documentation of their beliefs, practices, and organizations as they have evolved over time is an incredible resource for any who are curious about the major cult systems as found in the United States.

If you’ve ever been curious about a particular cult, especially a mainstream one, this book will likely offer quite a bit of information about it. If you’re more into studying about multiple cults, this is the book for you. From Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses to Christian Science and Unitarianism, this book has got answers to almost any question you can think of. A valuable book for any Christian to have in their library.

Great resource

Great content! The voice actor’s voice was a bit monotonous and boring. The overall book is a wonderful resource.

Very informative. Rather robotic narration

The whole topic grieved my spirit. To recognize that our world is fraught with those who call themselves Christian but are not disturbed me to my core. Then to realize that the true Christian church is at fault for this growth further disturbed me. It raised the question in my mind does the spread of Christianity reported around the world include these so called Christians? This book provides an awesome foundation for anyone who is interested in apologetics and I highly recommended it for the ground work it has laid for me personally. Some portions were very difficult for me to deal with spiritually due to the the nature of the topic and how the organization has twisted scriptures to meet their ideology. I plan to listen to this book again and again with an emphasis on following up with the scriptures mentioned for each group to strengthen my own apologetic skills. We must defend our faith and work to bring our brothers and sisters back to the true gospel.

So valuable

Everyone should read / listen.

I don’t know if it could possible be any better. Reinforces your own correct teachings along the way as it goes through exactly why each scammer (and/or person deceived by demons) is wrong.
