This book makes me wonder about basic sanity of people. Apparently any bizarre idea can be told to people with gusto, and a significant number will believe it. This group is even more deranged than I previously thought, and more dangerous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read History of Charismatic Move
I started this book interested in learning the overall history behind the modern charismatic thinking and purposes. My jaw started dropping at Chapter 2. This book is not for everyone. But if you are interested in learning why this “newer “Christian movement and outlook on the Word of God believes and behaves they way they do then you’ve come to a great book to start.
5.0 out of 5 stars thank you
book as advertized-thank you
3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of history, tunnel vision, and bias
This is a decent book on the NAR and its antecedents. The book is well documented. But it isn't a balanced view of the movement and its threat to anyone. It is narrowly focused on the Anglo Israel and Christian Identity antecedents that evolve into the NAR. It ignores many factors that impact the beliefs and practices in the evolution of Pentecostalism and the Word of Faith movements that have really shaped the NAR. The constant transitional paragraph that asks questions and then says before we answer we have to learn more about xyz gets pretty tedious to me. Further, to answer these questions, we go back to the first half of the 20th century to address the issues of NAR by looking at those who practiced Christian Identity without exploring how those issues have evolved or even lessened in the succeeding 50 to 80 years. Things religiously and socially have changed a lot during those years. Those changes have impacted what we are seeing today. The mostly absent theological issues should be better covered and analyzed. They play a very significant role in what we see today. I agree with another reviewer that there is an easily identified bias in the book. It appears that political bias has impacted the narrative.
5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this book about the New Apostolic Reformation and the Charismatic movement!
This book, by John Collins, is a fascinating account of the history of the one branch of modern Christianity, the charismatic movement, and more specifically, the New Apostolic Reformation, or the NAR. The author takes us back to the end of the 19th century, recounting the exploits of John Alexander Dowie, through the Azuza Street revival, with first hand accounts that make it clear that many unsavory things went on in Azuza Street that most of us are not aware of. British Israelism, which is the idea that British Anglo-Saxons are the real Israelites and the people who actually Jewish are fake Jews and enemies, became embedded in this movement very early. As did Christian Identity, the idea that Satan, by inhabiting the serpent, impregnated Eve in the Garden of Eden, and fathered Cain. And that Adam was the father of Abel. Meaning that black people are serpent seed and white people are God's seed. Almost from the beginning the KKK was closely involved in these churches.Following throught the post-WW2 healing revival and the Latter Rain Movement, this lossely united group continues to evolve, resulting in what we have right now--a tightly knit coalition of churches, including mega-churches, Bethel, IHOP-KC--the International House of Prayer, Kansas City, Vineyard, and many others. This group has decided that the spoken word, meaning prophetic words from their "prophets" is more important than the Bible, which is the written word. And if one of these "prophets" falls into sexual sin, that person is restored as soon as possible, so the group can "benefit" from their gifts. An event that happens with depressing regularity.Joel's Army is a militant aspect of this group that the Southern Poverty Law Center, which keeps track of dangerous racist and hate groups, considers dangerous enough to watch closely and write about on their website. With this army, NAR plans to take dominion at some point in the future. And that dominion means taking over the government and having a sacred purge, killing those who do not believe the same as they do.John Collins gets a lot of pushback on his Youtube Channel, Leaving the Message, among other places. People accuse him of trying to destroy what God is doing. But is NAR of God? I believe this interesting book answers that quesion unequivocably. John has 787 footnotes, proving that he has a source for every fact he states. This is a great source of information that is not always readily available, as is John's website and Youtube Channel.
3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly agree with some reservations
I agree with most of author's premise about the NAR and the history of Christian Identity, but his characterization of motives and beliefs are painted with a broad brush, generalizations made, etc. sometimes biased.
