highly recommended

James W. Sire describes 20 different ways that cults misread and misrepresent the Bible, helping us all become more careful readers.

Outstanding summary of ways Scripture is "reinvented"

It's true - none of us are perfect, and no one has 100% accurate understanding of the Bible. Yet Sire's little book is a great summary of 20 ways the Scripture gets twisted around (intentionally, and unintentionally). I found this a great teaching tool not only regarding cult teachings, but also for understanding errors within mainline denominational Scripture translations and interpretations, as well.

This is a great study of cult tactics

Mr. Sire has done an outstanding job in laying bare the cult use of the Bible to defraud. As a former Mormon who worshiped a false god and even believed Mormon men could become gods, I saw in Sire's book the way in which we had been deceived. I actually saw minipulated scriptures we Mormons used to lure people into our 'only true church'. I recommend it to anyone wondering if they may be in a cult.

One of the most helpful Christian books I have ever read

I first read this book about 15 years ago, and it is one of the most influential Christian books I have ever read. It has provided an insightful guide to decoding and avoiding bad doctrine--both that presented by others and my own. His principles help clarify when I am making errors in my own interpretation of Scripture as well.

Easy, concise and informative

This book is true to its title. Not only will it help you to see and will show you how the Scriptures have been twisted, but will also assist you to understand the translation and paraphrasing process of the Scriptures. I believe it is a "must have" for those whose interest in the Bible as the word of God is genuine. It is easy to read, easy to follow and precise in its information. It is printed in a 10 or 11 typesetting which is very easy on the eyes (for those that may have problems with their vision). I could not put it down, and keep it very close for it has a quick reference (Apendix) section that comes in handy.

This book should be in every Christian's library, and should be given to every new Christian.
