About this listen

In Strange Fire, best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement.

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. As a movement, it is clearly headed the wrong direction. And it is growing at an unprecedented rate.

From the Word of Faith to the New Apostolic Reformation, the Charismatic movement is being consumed by the empty promises of the prosperity gospel. Too many Charismatic celebrities promote a “Christianity” without Christ, a Holy Spirit without holiness. And their teaching is having a disastrous influence on a grand scale, as large television networks broadcast their heresies to every part of the world.

In Strange Fire, best-selling author and pastor John MacArthur chronicles the unsavory history behind the modern Charismatic movement. He lays out a chilling case for rejecting its false prophets, speaking out against their errors, showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit, and above all clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.

Go Deep into Your Understanding of the Spirit

What did you love best about Strange Fire?

A fresh look at the role of the Holy Spirit and our relationship with Him.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I would have rather had the story told by the author himself.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Only IF i could find the time.

Any additional comments?

Will have to read it in hard copy to make notes and study the text.

Great book!!

This is definitely a must read for anyone that watches TV Evangelists. The outline and flow of this book waa perfect. Very easy to listen to and follow. Loved the last two chapters and the appendix.... it really wrapped up the book nicely.

Powerful Spiritual Eyeopener

Would you consider the audio edition of Strange Fire to be better than the print version?

I have not read the printed but because the author is a great man of God I am sure the quality is also top shelf. Great word from The Master to his people through this chosen vessel (John MacArthur). I love his teaching style.

Biblically sound defence of the Holy Spirit

This book was really great, thought provoking and convicting. Definitely needed in our time of such blatant blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Great teaching on the TRUTH of the Holy Spirit.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, (Ephesians 6:10-18, null)

Great work for those who seek!

This book will give the serious Christian a lot to pray, think, and discuss with friends about.

I really appreciate that Pastor MacArthur doesn't shy away from the hard conversations.

Charismatic movement


The Author explained the charismatic movement and their ideology very well. It provides plenty of examples of false teachers and preachers that do not follow God's Word.

Difficult pill to swallow if...

are Pentecostal. But definitely a must read. Always use the bible to back up what it says. I enjoyed everything about this book.
