One must read the Word of God for discernment...and one needs discernment in this ever changing world. God does not change. Truth does not change. But for whatever reason, the world and the people in it seem to believe the Church and Christians need to change with the world...this is a falsehood and it is time for the Church (Christians) to learn how to differentiate between the Truth and falsehood.

My favorite all time book on developing spiritual discernment. It needs updated because some of the examples of perverse teaching and life styles are so old, most won't even recognize the people of whom he's referring. I used it as the foundation of a Bible study I led for young mothers and they were excited to strengthen their discerning abilities given by the Holy Spirit. I also used this book as a basis for a class I taught in our Christian High School. It was I great tool in teaching high school students Spiritual discernment. If this book was updated, I would buy more copies to give away. It's message is direly needed in our time. More than ever since the lies of Satan are so obscure, it's difficult to tell the truth from the lies.

This book is good for all believers. We are all called to be active in our discernment. What is getting into your church that you do not know about? Have you been challenging what you hear and see with the Word of God?

I received my book as expected and in great condition.

Excellent and insightful treatment of how we think about truth. While discernment is not always valued, this author makes clear that it is an essential skill in learning to handle God's word and in discerning (or discriminating) between truth and error.

Important and biblical!

I liked his narrative better than the self-discernment exercises at the end.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in discerning the signs of the times that we are facing.
Only when you know the Truth will you be able to discern that which is false.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023
I read this years ago, at a friend's recommendation. It opened my eyes to ways that error sneaks into our churches and our lives. Things which appear to be good or benign can be unbiblical. I'm back to buy another copy for someone else.

J.E. Adams; the very prolific writer; has indeed made a call to be aware and not settle for counterfeit wolves any more; for we all are indeed accountable before The Word of God so one just may want to go ask God for themselves-in HIS WORD that is! Settle NOT for religious "things" accommodating "self" in Jesus' Name; for that would be abuse and will NOT stand before God; in any name. A great read and is most definitely on the most ten important books in Christendom these days.
