About this ebook

"Eureka!"
In an age of open-mindedness, many believers accept too much with too little discernment, resulting in great confusion and compromise. But God's Word makes it clear that not everything that glitters is gold. False teaching is at every turn, and the temptation to embrace it is great. As God's people we are called to sift through the overwhelming number of traditions and trends and use the truth of Scripture to determine which are the true treasures-and which are "fool's gold."
General editor John MacArthur and the contributors of this uncompromising book define the principles of biblical discernment and use them to address several contemporary Christian issues. They provide straightforward, biblical critiques of some popular but unfortunate Christian trends, such as watered-down preaching and doctrinally questionable best-selling books. Dr. MacArthur ends with a practical plan for cultivating discernment in the Christian life.
It is the duty of every Christian-not just pastors and elders-to follow the biblical command to cling to what is good and to reject what is not. This book will equip you with a foundation for biblical discernment that will enable you to make careful distinctions in your thinking about truth.

    This book is one of those love/hate relationships for me. Each chapter is a different topic and review of a popular Chritian book or trend. You either agree wholeheartedly or walk away a bit snapped at. The author(s) try to why that particular topic doesn't jive with the Bible (such as Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life; Eldridge's Wild at Heart; Revolve Magazine as well as trends like altar calls, praise music and consumerism). Although I agreed with a majority of the concepts that the essays presented, I must admit that many of them were a bit of a buzzkill and a bit harsh (but not rude). I appreciated the opinion and explanation of the topic and really liked the book overall. If you want a simple go-lucky read, skip this one BUT you will be missing some great 'discussions' on some fairly important topics of modern trends and how they reconcile (or don't) with the Bible.
