Publisher's summary

In an era of rapid growth of false religions worldwide, Christians need information they can trust. This comprehensive new edition of the leading book on cults will equip you - no matter your background - to understand and use biblical truth to counter false religions, including many that masquerade as mainstream Christianity.

Reflecting the developments in cults and world religions in recent years, this edition, updated by expert Jill Martin Rische (daughter of Walter Martin), gives you the authoritative information you need to know. As our culture becomes less and less outwardly Christian, awareness of the belief systems of those around us has never been more vital.

Accessible and reliable for everyone, whether you're a teacher, a pastor, or a regular church attender, The Kingdom of the Cults remains the go-to reference book on this crucial topic.

Awesome.

Many people in the reviews are complaining. (They’re probably cult members) and all of their complains are surface level and silly. I would push you to review the negative reviews. And try to find a real attempt at attacking the author. You will find shallow hollow claims.

Christ is God.

The audio voice is awful!

An otherwise definitive book that accurately discusses the cults doctrine vs orthodox Christianity almost butchered by the robotic voice reader. PLEASE pay a voice actor or AI to mimic Martins voice and read with the same passion and convictions he spoke with.

A must for the true and zealous evangelist!

I could not put this audio book down. I will admit there is a dizzying multitude of cults out there. it takes a lot to keep up with all of them discussed here. I am only surprised that Seventh-Day Adventism was not treated here.

Incredible information

Very long, but I was committed to finishing that book. You’ll learn a lot that she’ll never remember, but I’m glad I listened.

Very informative. Rather robotic narration

The whole topic grieved my spirit. To recognize that our world is fraught with those who call themselves Christian but are not disturbed me to my core. Then to realize that the true Christian church is at fault for this growth further disturbed me. It raised the question in my mind does the spread of Christianity reported around the world include these so called Christians? This book provides an awesome foundation for anyone who is interested in apologetics and I highly recommended it for the ground work it has laid for me personally. Some portions were very difficult for me to deal with spiritually due to the the nature of the topic and how the organization has twisted scriptures to meet their ideology. I plan to listen to this book again and again with an emphasis on following up with the scriptures mentioned for each group to strengthen my own apologetic skills. We must defend our faith and work to bring our brothers and sisters back to the true gospel.

So valuable

Everyone should read / listen.

I don’t know if it could possible be any better. Reinforces your own correct teachings along the way as it goes through exactly why each scammer (and/or person deceived by demons) is wrong.

A ton of information

But worth the time invested, very informative with a great amount of true scripture, as well as reference from the other side!
