So common is the use of psychotherapy among Christians today that many pastors themselves are either licensed therapists or are the greatest source of referrals to professional counselors. In addition, the study of psychology has become the number two career choice for all college students; in fact, the popularity of this “science of the soul” is even greater among those enrolled in Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries from coast to coast. The purpose of this book is not to attack or condemn evangelicals who are either practicing psychotherapists or those who have been helped by what is commonly called “Christian Psychology.” Rather, this volume acknowledges the value of believers bearing one another’s burdens through prayer, fellowship, and the Word of God. Simultaneously, this compilation exposes—in a biblically incisive manner—underlying concerns that have plagued the evangelical community as a result of embracing what is tantamount to a counterfeit religious practice, woven into the fabric of contemporary Christianity. Some of the critical questions and crucial answers this book explores include: • From what ancient philosophical roots does psychology originate, and what are its modern fruits? • Is psychology truly a “scientific” means by which the spiritual issues of mankind may be addressed? • What does God’s Word prescribe as a remedy for the social ills of our culture, and is that alone sufficient for the Body of Christ? • Can Christians effectively minister using Scripture and prayer by power of the Holy Spirit, or is professional training required? • Is it possible for believers in Christ to “eat the fish and spit out the bones” with regard to psychology’s foundation in secular humanism? • Can the mystic and occultic methodologies employed by secular psychotherapists be “sanctified” for practice by Christian counselors? • Does the wisdom of psychology point to the narrow way of biblical Christianity or toward the broad path that leads to destruction? • What understanding of “Self” can psychology bring to light that Scripture cannot?

GUARANTEED to be OUT OF THIS WORLD—Salvation is truly “the gift that keeps on giving”—not only in this life, but for all eternity. It is called “the gift of God,” but what did it really cost? How can we possibly receive so rich a reward? And is there any danger that such an invaluable treasure can be lost or stolen? This delightful little volume features 50 daily readings on the Doctrine of Salvation—a wealth of Scripture knowledge describing God’s invaluable gift to the world. Mined from the media vault of Search the Scriptures Daily radio broadcast and condensed into a convenient devotional format, this treasure chest of biblical insights by Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon is artfully arranged as a string of precious pearls, interspersed with devotional prayers, hymns, and heartfelt reflection. In these pages, readers will find genuine hope of their blessed assurance and discover (or rediscover) the joy of their salvation in this life—sealed by God’s Solid Rock guarantee. "The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation." —2 Samuel 22:47

The Doctrine of Salvation: By Grace Through Faith, the Gift of God

Overflowing with powerful fast-moving visuals spanning centuries of history and biblical prophecy to clarify current events and future prophecies, Israel, Islam, and Armageddon is not only a powerful documentary, but a contemporary tool for evangelism. Pastors across America are showing this thorough documentary to their churches as a large screen Bible prophecy and world history lesson compressed into one hour! With more than 3,000 years of history, Jerusalem is mentioned an astonishing 800 times in the Bible and prophesied to play a key role in world destiny. Many of these prophecies have already come to pass, with some yet to be fulfilled. This video shows how the current peace process is fraught with peril, why it is impossible for Jerusalem to know true peace in our age, how the Antichrist will lead the world's armies to destroy Israel, the truth about the Vatican's intentions, and the Palestinian myth. Israel, Islam, and Armageddon powerfully corrects much of the popular misinformation and outright propaganda aggressively advanced by the world media and others. Includes footage of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

Many sincere, Bible-believing Christians are Calvinists only by default. Thinking that the only choice is between Calvinism (with its presumed doctrine of eternal security) and Arminianism (with its teaching that salvation can be lost), and confident of Christ's promise to keep eternally those who believe in Him, they therefore consider themselves to be Calvinists. It takes only a few simple questions to discover that most Christians are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and practiced. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe. Although there are disputed variations of the Calvinist doctrine, among its chief proponents (whom we quote extensively in context) there is general agreement on certain core beliefs. Many evangelicals who think they are Calvinists will be surprised to learn of Calvin's belief in salvation through infant baptism and of his grossly un-Christian behavior, at times, as the "Protestant Pope" of Geneva, Switzerland. Most shocking of all, however, is Calvinism's misrepresentation of God, who “is love.” It is our prayer that this volume will enable readers to examine more carefully the vital issues involved and to follow God's holy Word—not man’s teachings. "The first edition of this book was greeted by fervent opposition and criticism from Calvinists. In this enlarged and revised edition I have endeavored to respond to the critics." —Dave Hunt

Are We Sincerely Seeking the True Shepherd? —or Simply Following the Flock? Is Mel Gibson’s blockbuster movie biblically true? Have silver-screen portrayals of biblical epics become the new “silver bullet” of evangelism? While Showtime for the Sheep? addresses these questions with eye-opening insights, it is far more than a polemic examining The Passion of the Christ. This block-busting little book addresses several key trends that are storming the church in this media-mesmerized millennium: • The increasing use of entertainment and amusement to teach the Word of God—and expanding efforts to make the Gospel message more “seeker-sensitive” • The advancing cause of ecumenism over evangelism—and the resultant confusion between Catholicism and biblical Christianity • The multiplying effect of doctrinal error through increasingly popular paraphrased “Bibles”—and the proliferation of visual interpretations of Scripture "This book is factual, thoughtful, and biblical. I hope and pray that the church will take it graciously and seriously. Yes, use the interest in Christ’s passion which the film has aroused—but carefully and lovingly correct the movie’s false impression that the Roman soldiers’ abuse of Christ paid for the sins of the world. And, faithfully present the true gospel (including Christ’s glorious triumph over sin and the power of His resurrection) which alone can save souls for eternity." —Dave Hunt, author of Occult Invasion, A Woman Rides the Beast, and An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith

Showtime for the Sheep?: The Church and The Passion of the Christ

In Revelation 17, the Apostle John describes in great detail the characteristics of a false church that will be the partner of the Antichrist. Was he describing the Roman Catholic Church? To answer that question, Dave Hunt spent years gathering research and indisputable historical documentation (primarily Catholic sources) and providing information not generally available. Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention in our times is focused on the coming Antichrist--but he is only half the story. Many are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy--a woman who rides the beast. Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the Church of Rome. But isn't such a view outdated? After all, today's Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. "The Catholic Church has changed," is what we hear. Or has it? In A Woman Rides the Beast, prophecy expert Dave Hunt sifts through biblical truth and global events to present a well-defined portrait of the woman and her powerful place in the Antichrist's future empire. Eight remarkable clues in Revelation 17 and 18 prove the woman's identity beyond any reasonable doubt.

A Woman Rides the Beast

In what is possibly the most comprehensive and clear-cut examination of ancient biblical prophecy and modern-day Middle East politics regarding Islam, Israel, and the nations, Judgment Day! is an eye-opening page-turner for scholars, analysts, pastors, professors, politicians, and laypeople alike. Amazing historical facts and firsthand insight make this book a thrilling, sometimes troubling, read—but one that is necessary for an accurate understanding of the prophetic times in which we live. Drawing parallels between the “land for peace” appeasement of Hitler (prior to his systematic extermination of more than 6 million Jews) and today’s strategy of the nations united against Israel is not at all difficult—but Dave Hunt goes much deeper than that. With painstaking clarity and detail, Judgment Day! reveals the ancient agenda against the Jews, and traces its twisted trail to modern-day deceptions of U.S. Presidents, foreign ambassadors, covert (and overt) military operations, businesspeople, educators, and world leaders alike. In this no-holds-barred documentary, Dave Hunt skillfully dissects the myth of Palestinian claims to “the Promised Land” and exposes the fraud, deceit, and treachery of an international community allied against the Jewish nation. As the author writes, “In the final analysis, the battle over Israel is a battle for the souls and destiny of mankind. If Islam and the nations siding with her should accomplish their goal of destroying Israel, then mankind [from a biblical perspective] is eternally lost....” Why are the stakes so high? What will the outcome be? Discover the uncomfortable but irrefutable truth in Dave Hunt’s impassioned exposé—Judgment Day!

Judgment Day! Islam, Israel and the Nations

To Russia with Love is a compelling real-life drama of terror, mystery, and suspense behind the Iron Curtain. It is the true story of Hans Kristian, Bible smuggler to the Soviet Union. As Hans recounts, he quickly came to a startling realization: “I was staggered by the relationship these people had with God, because it raised a devastating question: If this was Christianity, then what was the game we were playing in the West?” The Berean Call is grateful to Dave Hunt and Hans Kristian for the privilege of preserving this remarkable testimony of God’s faithfulness to those who willingly forsake all and take up the cross daily to fulfill our Lord’s great commission. It is our prayer that this valuable historical record will inspire a new generation of Spirit-filled missionaries to “go...and teach all nations” the good news of the gospel of Christ Jesus.

To Russia with Love

Nine years in a Soviet prison camp would seem an eternity to most of us. For Maria, it was an investment in eternity. This is the true story of Maria Zeitner Linke—a story of survival and courage in the death camps of Stalin’s Gulag after World War II. But more than that, it is the story of how one woman turned her sorrow into an opportunity for growth, ministry, and strengthened commitment to Jesus Christ. In nine years, Maria moved through six different camps, including the infamous Buchenwald, which the Soviets had taken over from the Nazis after the war. In the process, Maria touched the lives of many people and helped them turn their own mourning into dancing. This book, which will remind many readers of the works of Corrie ten Boom and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, offers encouragement and hope to anyone who has ever wondered, “How would I react if my faith were really put to the test?” It comes to terms with the true meaning of “practicing patience in tribulation.” “Only one who has felt the nearness of death can truly be grateful for each new day, no matter how much suffering it might bring.” Thus speaks Maria Linke, survivor of nine years’ imprisonment in the death camps and prisons of Stalin’s Russia following World War II. There have been many “God is faithful amid the horrors of war” stories, and although East Wind fits this description, it is far more than just another war story. The unusual aspects of Maria’s life make this book so arrestingly different. The winsome portrait of a childhood lived on the banks of the Volga River as the daughter of a wealthy pre-Revolution German industrialist . . . The tragedy of banishment to Siberia and life among the nomadic tribes there . . . The flight from a burning Cossack village and escape to Germany during the Russian Revolution . . . Teen years in lively Berlin . . . World War II and her work as an interpreter in the labor camps of Germany . . . Her arrest as a spy by the advancing Russian armies . . . Miraculous escapes from death . . . Romance . . . The infamous Waldeheim trials . . . And transcending it all, the rare sense of humor that could find laughter in the most horrible of circumstances. East Wind is a powerful book. Historically, its scope is broad. Spiritually, its impact is tremendous. It will be a long time before you find another story that will move you as much as Maria’s. The Berean Call is pleased to present this facsimile of the 1987 paperback. East Wind was first published in 1976 as a hardcover. Our TBC edition includes a special commemorative cover design and includes authentic historical images.
