What would God say about those who blatantly misrepresent His Holy Spirit; who exchange true worship for chaotic fits of mindless ecstasy; who replace the biblical gospel with vain illusions of health and wealth; who claim to prophesy in His name yet speak errors; and who sell false hope to desperate people for millions of dollars? The Charismatic movement has always been a breeding-ground for scandal, greed, bad doctrine, and all kinds of spiritual chicanery. Best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.

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.

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another Gospel? author Alisa Childers invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality, they are deeply deceptive.

In this captivating memoir, Doreen Virtue chronicles her journey in discovering everything she believed in was a lie. She poignantly shares the price she’s paid for following Jesus. New Age teachings are based on concepts that sound almost irresistible. But they come with a hidden price: Your eternal destiny. Here is a riveting, personal confessional of how a former false prophet learned to trust God after nearly wasting a lifetime being independent and willful - trying to predict and control the future - and how Jesus saved her soul from deception and opened her eyes to his truth.

Publisher's summary
A captivating first-person look at one of the world's most powerful prosperity dynasties that offers a unique perspective on greed, the Church, and the journey toward Truth.
Millions desperate for hope and solutions are enticed by the promise of the prosperity gospel - that God will do whatever they need with just a little faith and a financial gift. All the while, prosperity preachers exploit the poor and the needy to stockpile their riches. What can followers of the true gospel do to combat the deception?
Through a remarkable and fascinating journey, Costi Hinn went from a next-generation prosperity preacher to the first to abandon the family faith and share the true gospel. Nephew of the world-famous televangelist Benny Hinn, Costi had a front-row seat to the inner workings and theology of the prosperity gospel. But as Costi's faith deepened, so did his questions about prosperity teaching. As the deceptions in his past were exposed, Costi came face-to-face with the hypocrisy and devastation caused by his belief system and the overwhelming truth about the real Jesus Christ.
This captivating look into the daily lives of one of the world's leading prosperity dynasties offers a thoughtful perspective on the perils of greed, the power of the true gospel, and hope for the future of the global church. Through real-life stories, Costi challenges and equips listeners to be living lights pointing the way to the true gospel and the saving grace of Christ. God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel will bolster your faith and encourage your own journey toward the truth.

Authenticity: He Paid A High Price To Speak Truth
Costi Hinn's book is simply beautiful. He is honest while humble. He is a true picture of what it means to forsake all for the Gospel. He brings credibility to a needed discussion in Christianity, and clarity on exactly what truly is the Gospel. He paid a high price to speak the truth.

Christ Honoring Testimony by Costi
If you want to understand what makes the Health & Wealth movement tick, this book will provide an accurate look inside some of the worst offenders. At the same time Costi has been cautious not to lump all Pentecostals and Charismatics together and label them all full blown heretics. He does however not shy away from examining the skewed presuppositions, hermeneutics, and serious lack of theological understanding that is pervasive within Prosperity Preaching churches and parachurch ministries. I believe Costi has rightly communicated that there is a spectrum within the broader movement. This book is straight forward in its examination of the false teaching and hypocrisy of Prosperity Preachers. It is also a clear clairion call to the true gospel of Jesus Christ in all of its majesty, beauty, and glory. The gospel that gives true freedom and prosperity of soul.

Must read
We were introduced to the prosperity message right after we were saved, so we’re so ripe for the picking so to speak. Unfortunately I actually gave my wedding ring to further the desperate need to spread the gospel under Robert Tilton. Never did get a receipt for the donation. So call and asked about it. The response was cold. Then we started questioning. This book put to words our journey in many ways. Thank you.

Disappointed by the conclusion...
I appreciated the fact the Costi did not appear to hide the truth about his uncle Benny, his father, and even his own hypocrisy. However, I was very disappointed to learn that he had fallen prey to the false doctrine of Calvinism. God is not a God that loves His creation so much that Jesus would come purely out of love and concern for people, but rather is selfish in nature and “everything is about His glory. All I can say on a shirt review is this...John 3:16 / “ For God so loved the world (not His self) that He gave...” Please get to know the Bible for yourself and you probably won’t fall for an emotional story, that May be factual, but still Scripturally inaccurate. 2 Timothy 4:1-5

This explains why I don’t like church.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Costi Hinn’s story about his experience with the prosperity gospel opened my eyes to what I have felt for many years. I now understand what I thought I believed about the big name televangelists and many local preachers I have encountered during my Christian journey. I’m encouraged to venture back into church but, I am going in with open eyes and an open heart. Thank you Costi. I now think it’s possible for me to enjoy church and the Christian life again.

Honest appraisal of the prosperity gospel
Great book that combines scripture and behind the scenes experience of the evil prosperity gospel. Benny Hinn is a false prophet and as chrisitans we should be careful what and who we believe.

Brutally honest!
The book is a well fit for an audible listen. Interestingly, the narrator almost sounds like the author himself. It's a good listen, and flows easily. I completed it in 'one sitting'.
Costi gives detailed accounts of his involvement with his Uncle Benny, describing the major ones that eventually led him to ponder on the lavish lifestyle, the Mumbai Vs UAE and Greece experience
And concludes the last chapters with how he eventually got to know the truth, highlighting personal accounts of the challenges he faced along the way.
It's thought provoking and will drive you to your Bible afterwards.

Really liked how Costi took us on a journey of his own life and showed the bread crumbs that were down in his life that he later remembered and drew reference to within this account. I also really appreciate the honesty with what he shared and maturity in how he approached the topic with truth, but with love and respect. A very good read 🙂👍🏼

Behind the Scenes from Vanity Fair
The author has provided a very brave account in portraying the behind the scenes of his uncle’s ministry. Interwoven are the hurts and doctrines which are open for the reader to interpret and guide to judge.
I don’t believe that this is a good biblical basis for deriving at the authors conclusions and therefore it would have been beneficial to show the Scriptures for justifying the Prosperity Gospel proponents position.
This book reads-out like an open letter to Benny Hinn and probably could have excluded him to focus on biblical truth to counter such teachings.
After listening to this I felt more heartbroken than angry. Not sad for the proponents of Prosperity Gospel but sad for those gullible, blinded Christians who can’t read their Bible within contexts. Their local pastors are contributors to this for not preparing their members to seeking emotionalism.
The author is obliviously hurt and signs of wounds leak through the documentary. A valuable testimony however an incomplete work to the biblical basis for the author’s new found belief so to deter future pilgrims away from Vanity Fair.
Thank you for sharing!

A MUST READ!!!
This book is necessary for every Christian and even non Christians perplexed by the mode of practice of Christian by many in Africa and Brazil.
This books left me hungry for more. I need signposts to books that further explore doctrinal errors and practices to help me articulate further these issues on my heart.
Thanks for this Costi. You remind me of Prince Harry and Meghan. You're very brave.

Finally, someone had to speak up
Great book, interesting read and real page turner.
Costi could’ve exposed his uncle years ago when he broke away from the Hinn church but he chose to start life again, relearn theology and become a real pastor before writing about the prosperity gospel, and that’s what makes this book different.

A Much Needed Book For The Modern Church
Costi Hinn,
Speaks honestly, openly and frankly about his family healing dynasty and all its short comings and scriptural abuses.
This is a must read book for any Christian in the modern chruch.
If you wish to hear about the inner workings and life style of Benny Hinn’s ministry this book is for you.
Written not to be polemical, but with a pastors heart for the global chruch and the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Costi Hinn has done a great service for all Christians by exposing the short comings of the prosperity gospel and exulting the true life giving gospel of Jesus Christ’s one to serve others not to become rich of others.

Story
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.
