Counterfeit Kingdom

The Dangers of New Revelation, New Prophets, and New Age Practices in the Church

De: Holly Pivec, R. Douglas Geivett

Narrado por: Nan McNamara

Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? In Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith. They also offer practical suggestions for listeners who are already influenced by the NAR, curious about it, or concerned about loved ones who have been swept up in the movement. What used to be on the fringes of the church is now mainstream, and many are being influenced by it unaware. This book is a wake-up call.

An illuminating book regarding the dangers of NAR

I honestly had no clue how in depth this book would go, hoping to at least scratch the surface of things I already had my ears perked to. What I didn’t expect was a full picture of how deceptive this movement is, and how embedded their beliefs are in what many would consider as “faithful churches” in what they teach, and sing in “worship”. I am amazed how many arguments I’ve already heard against my objections to this cancerous movement that were mentioned herein. I pray that if you’re an elder/pastor, lay person, children’s ministry, and especially those with the title “worship leader” would read and head these warnings, and run to Christ in repentance, and seek to immediately correct the course of your church. And those not in leadership, that they’d feel emboldened to share their concerns with their leadership, with gentleness and respect, ready to stand firm for the sake of the gospel.

To Pivec and Geivett, I thank the Lord that He has used you to give this warning to the body of Christ. Praise Him for His abounding mercy and grace.

Grateful for this book

Excellent. Thank you for writing this book. Know His Word well and don’t fall for the counterfeit.

Pastor Austin

Clarifying and well documented information on New Apostolic Reformation. The topics are categorized well in each chapter.

Great book

Thoughtful and necessary for today’s church to be prepared and discerning, as the NAR is sadly spreading across denominations.

Been wondering about this subject….

This is a really good educational book. Though we must all use our discernment. This has really helped me pinpoint some things that were bothering me.

Great Breakdown of Everything NAR related

The authors take an overview, yet deep approach to laying out everything that’s questionable about the theology, praxis and experience of NAR-led churches. This is a very dangerous movement and this book does a great service in relating why and how that is.

Eye opening

I never thought how dangerous being affiliated with NAR. I pray for the all who have been deceived.

So relevant

This book explains so much of what we see in the church. A great book.

A Must Read! Strongly Recommended!

I have been to churches that have used music from NAR and unfortunately, there’s no concern regarding the use of their music. This book gives a clear understanding of the dangers of these movements and why singing their songs only makes things worse. As a former media director of a church, I strongly recommend anyone in media ministry and worship ministry to read this book.

Clear and concise!

This is a clear and concise layout of what the New Apostolic Reformation teaches and practices! A must read! Well researched and written book!
