Product Description
by Candy Gwen Lopitz (Author)
As a faithful Christian, do you know the truth about what you might be hearing from the pulpit and where those teachings originate? Many believers would be surprised to learn that the teachings they unquestioningly follow from the pastors they trust are false and that Occult and New Age practices have been seeping into the church for many years.
In her sophomore release, Dr. Candy Gwen Lopitz reveals many of these false teachings and practices, holding them up to the light of biblical truth, so that believers can avoid the most common pitfalls that have derailed the faith of others. The book is broken into two parts with an epilogue:
Part One: Hermeneutical & Eschatological Issues
- Deconstruction & Great Apostasy
- Dispensational Hermeneutics
- Pre-Tribulation Rapture: Blessed Hope or "Escapism"?
- Israel Remains an Integral Part of God's Kingdom Program...While the United States is Conspicuously Absent
Part Two: New Age & Occult Infiltration
- New Thought Metaphysics & the Hyper-Charismatic Movement
- Dominionism & the New Apostolic Reformation
Built upon a biblical foundation, Departure from the Faith is intended for believers who are concerned about the state of the contemporary church and who want to avoid heresy. This book will help readers to identify the red flags and to understand how destructive these false teachings are for believers who are striving to remain sincere in their faith.
Dr. Candy Gwen Lopitz brings a unique perspective to these issues having escaped the cult of her childhood and then ministering to cult defectors for two decades. Being trained in biblical apologetics, secular and biblical counseling and biblical hermeneutics, and having earned a seminary doctorate in ministry, she is uniquely qualified to tackle these topics.
