"Christianity in Crisis"
    Hank Handergraaf
From Amazon reviews ...
"This is an incredible, eye-opening exposé of a movement that is trans-denominational and is devouring Christians with the rapidity of a wildfire. Ironically, one of the reviewers condemns it as saying it is limiting the Holy Spirit, but this is simply not true. Hanegraaff himself is a Charismatic so he hardly wants to do that. Instead, it's a movement that puts words in Holy Spirit's mouth, claiming He has revealed things to them that are CLEARLY against the Bible."
