Synopsis

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 readers 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 audiobook is a wake-up call.

Goodreads review by Viktoriya on February 21, 2023

I really wish everyone would read this book. The teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) are dangerous and destructive to your faith. They are subtle, they sound biblical and you might not even realize the teachings in your own church. If you’ve ever heard of: prayer declarations, learning......more

Goodreads review by sincerely on February 25, 2023

4.5 stars Tbh, it took me months to read this 272 page book because it was admittedly triggering for me considering my history with specific denominations that are very closely related to NAR. I've tried to write a coherent review consistent with what is normally on this account, but everything comes......more

Goodreads review by Dr. David on February 20, 2023

Turn on the radio or walk into almost any evangelical church. One of the first things you will hear is songs by Bethel Worship or Jesus Culture. Young people are especially attracted to these songs. The production quality and musicianship is top-notch. The Jesus Culture website says, “Jesus Culture......more

Goodreads review by Brandi on January 13, 2023

The cover of this book depicting the Pied Piper so aptly signifies what this book is all about—the lure of the New Apostolic Reformation (known as NAR for short) and its teaching and practices. This is a really important book that places a bright spotlight on some dangerous beliefs that may seem fri......more
