This extra-ordinary book goes to great lengths to teach what the Gospel is NOT and what the gospel IS. The editor, Michael Horton, apart from making significant contributions of his own, has gathered together contributors of considerable standing in the literary and Christian worlds. Their combined purpose is the exposing of the teachings of certain television evangelists with worldwide audiences numbering many millions.
Until many of them became embroiled in scandal, television preachers had been above reproach in the eyes of millions of viewers. Their followers assumed them to be learned, enlightened, and creditable ministers of the gospel. But the fall of several popular televangelists has forced the church to take a closer look at the teachings of her more visable preachers.
The Agony of Deceit is an in-depth, carefully documented analysis os television evangelism. This collection of fourteen essays boasts an impressive list of contributors including R.C. Sproul, Walter Martin, Art Lindsley, and C. Everett Koop. Though they represent several denominations, all the contributors agree that the most significant problem plaguing televangelism is not moral or ethical decline but a gross deficiency of its doctrinal foundations. In short, heresy.

Beautifully illustrated book. To a young child, everything seems large. Trees are so tall, and the sky and ocean seem endless. Even other people are much bigger. How can God care about something as little as a child? God's World Makes Me Feel So Little introduces young readers to the wonders of God's world and wshows children why they are important and precious in God's sight.

William Randolph Hears looms large in twentieth-century America. One of his best-known legacies is La Cuesta Encantada, or Hearst Castle, the product of his collaboraion with Julia Morgan, his architect. Taylor Coffman tells of the human side of this legacy and also provides a much-needed overview of the history of the san Simeon area. The book is a fine piece of local history writing.
