Synopsis

In Strange Fire, bestselling 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, MacArthur lays out a chilling case against the modern Charismatic movement that includes:Rejecting its false prophets.Speaking out against their errors.Showing true reverence to the Holy Spirit.Clinging to the Bible as the inerrant, authoritative Word of God and the one true standard by which all truth claims must be tested.

Goodreads review by Brent

With the release of Strange Fire, I can't think of another book that has been so heavily criticized by many in the evangelical community by those who have not read the book!

Goodreads review by Rod

There are many NICE and scholarly reviews of this book. I'll get right to the point: OH NO! John MacArthur is dividing the body of Christ - as I have heard many a Charismatic proclaim loudly. But no he's not, he's just taking out the trash from the house of God. I loved this book. John got right to th......more

Goodreads review by Natalie

I should probably state upfront that I am a MacArthur fan, although I don't agree with all of his views. I read "Charismatic Chaos" a few years ago and found it really helpful in trying to find the correct path through the maze of charismatic confusion that seems to be everywhere. I remember being a......more

Goodreads review by Robert

Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water! I have had great respect for Dr. MacArthur until now. I even strongly agree with him regarding frauds such as Benny Hinn, the Word of Faith preachers and the New Apostolic Reformation, which he describes in this book. But he is dead wrong that gi......more
