¿Es el islam una religión pacífica y tolerante? Hanegraaff presenta el Islam dentro de su contexto histórico actual, y enseña sobre los importantes aspectos de la fe y la forma en que esta afecta al mundo. En medio de todos los debates acerca del islam y su creciente presencia en el mundo, hay algo que con frecuencia se pasa por alto: el islam no es una religión en el sentido suavizado en el que la entiende el Occidente. Al contrario, es una matriz sociopolítica y legal que ha dado lugar a una cosmovisión que es antagónica hacia todo lo que no sea ella misma. El islam es el único sistema religioso significativo en la historia de la raza humana que tiene una estructura legal sociopolítica que exige la violencia contra los infieles. Las evidencias actuales señalan que decir la verdad en cuanto a esto equivale a radicalizar a los musulmanes y exacerbar hostilidades que de lo contrario permanecerían latentes. A pesar de su incoherencia, el islam —con la fuerza de mil seiscientos millones y en crecimiento— está listo para llenar el vacío dejado por una cultura occidental que se va arrastrando inexorablemente hacia Gomorra. Los datos demográficos solamente son alarmantes. Aunque los musulmanes polígamos alardean de un robusto porcentaje de nacimientos, los occidentales nativos se van moviendo con rapidez hacia su autoextinción. Numerosos millones de musulmanes están llenando ese vacío y no tienen intención alguna de asimilar la cultura occidental. Hank Hanegraaff no solo bosqueja el problema de una manera accesible y sobresaliente, sino que pasa a presentar posibles soluciones a este choque de civilizaciones.

Is Islam a peaceful and tolerant religion? Hanegraaff puts Islam into its proper historical context and fully educates all on the important aspects of the faith and how it affects the world.

What most of us have heard about heaven comes from ill-informed funeral sermons and books about widely reported near-death experiences. Hanegraaff reveals the simple yet thrilling truth about what really happens to us and those we love when we die. You'll be left to wonder, "Why hasn't someone told me this before?"

These are not obscure teachers that Hanegraaff unmasks. We know their names. We have seen their faces, sat in their churches, and heard them shamelessly preach and promote the false pretexts of a give-to-get gospel. They are virtual rock stars who command the attention of presidential candidates and media moguls. Through make-believe miracles, urban legends, counterfeit Christs, and twisted theological reasoning, they peddle an occult brand of metaphysics that continues to shipwreck the faith of millions around the globe:“God cannot do anything in this earthly realm unless we give Him permission.”“Keep saying it—‘I have equality with God’—talk yourself into it.”“Being poor is a sin.”“The Jews were not rejecting Jesus as Messiah; it was Jesus who was refusing to be the Messiah to the Jews!”“You create your own world the same way God creates His. He speaks, and things happen; you speak, and they happen.” Christianity in Crisis: 21st Century exposes darkness to light, pointing us back to a Christianity centered in Christ. From the Preface:“Having lost the ability to think biblically, postmodern Christians are being transformed from cultural change agents and initiators into cultural conformists and imitators. Pop culture beckons, and postmodern Christians have taken the bait. As a result, the biblical model of faith has given way to an increasingly bizarre array of fads and formulas.”

Using the memorable acronym MAPS, radio host and Bible scholar Hank Hanegraaff masterfully reveals four proofs that confirm the divine origin of the Bible.

Hank Hanegraaff reveals the code to Revelation. Breaking the code of the book of Revelation has become an international obsession. The result, according to Hank Hanegraaff, has been rampant misreading of Scripture, bad theology, and even bad politics and foreign policy. Hanegraaff argues that the key to understanding the last book of the Bible is the other sixty-five books of the Bible — not current events or recent history and certainly not any complicated charts. The Apocalypse Code offers sane answers to some very controversial questions: What does it mean to take the book of Revelation (and the rest of the Bible) literally? Who are the “Antichrist” and the “Great Whore of Babylon,”and what is the real meaning of “666”? How does our view of the end times change the way we think about the crisis in the Middle East? Are two-thirds of all Jews really headed for an apocalyptic holocaust? The Apocalypse Code is a call to understand what the Bible really says about the end times and why how we understand it matters so much in today’s world. “Provocative and passionate, this fascinating book is a must-read for everyone who’s interested in end-times controversies.” — Lee Strobel, Author, The Case for the RealJesus “This book is a withering and unrelenting critique of the positions of apocalyptic enthusiasts such as Tim LaHaye. Every fan of theLeft Behindseries should read this book. The fog will clear, and common sense will return to our reading of the Bible.” — Gary M. Burge, Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College and Graduate School

Sin un cambio de percepción y perspectiva, la iglesia está en un horroroso peligro. El autor de gran éxito de ventas, Hank Hanegraaff, dice que una tendencia peligrosa está haciendo estragos en el cuerpo de Cristo. A menos que se le detenga ahora, las consecuencias para el cristianismo podrían ser catastróficas. Hanegraaff atestigua que el verdadero Cristo y la verdadera fe de la Biblia están siendo reemplazados rápidamente por sustitutos enfermos que ofrecen un grupo de maestros que pertenecen a lo que se le ha calificado como el "Movimiento de Fe". Muchos en el mundo han sido engañados por lo que se podría llamar "cristianismo estilo comida rápida": un cristianismo grande en apariencias pero pequeño en sustancia y popularizado por figuras reconocidas como Joyce Meyer, Paula White, Creflo Dollar y otros. "No todo lo que promueven estos maestros es erróneo", dice Hanegraaff. "Pero es el error fatal mezclado con la verdad lo que hace que este movimiento sea peligroso". Este libro se enfoca en estos errores potencialmente mortales y está lleno de estudios perspicaces de las Escrituras y sugerencias para la investigación personal.

In a world where evil seems to lurk around every corner and our thoughts turn to worry about our safety and security, the armor of God is our Father's protection in the fight against evils of our temporary home. Best-selling author Hank Hanegraaff describes God's protective covering over his children by dissecting Paul's words in Ephesians 6: 10-18 commanding us to put on the armor of God and "take our stand against the devil's schemes." Hanegraaff moves through the passage, phrase by phrase, defining God's armor, explaining what it means to embrace God's covering, and the practical ways God delivers us from evil.

¿Estamos en los últimos días? ¿Cuáles señales debo estar buscando?" La mayoría de lo que has escuchado, leído o aprendido acerca de los últimos días es incorrecto", dice el popular presentador radial y apologista, Hank Hanegraaff. "Hemos llegado a aceptar una gran variedad de creencias y enseñanzas acerca del futuro, sobre la batalla final entre el bien y el mal, los últimos días y de cómo va a ser el fin del mundo. Y la mayoría de estos conceptos y enseñanzas se basa en malas interpretaciones fundamentales de lo que las Escrituras dicen acerca de los últimos días". El código del Apocalipsis ayuda a los lectores a comprender lo que la Biblia dice realmente acerca de los últimos días y explica la manera en que nuestros conceptos sobre los últimos días influyen directamente en nuestros pensamientos, opiniones y decisiones políticas con respecto al estado actual de Israel, la guerra contra el terrorismo y nuestra participación en los asuntos vitales del Medio Oriente.

As more and more so-called experts challenge what the Bible says about the creation of man, we must take aim with straightforward, Christ-centered answers. Today's generation is bombarded with theories about humankind and its origins. In Fatal Flaws, now in paperback with a study guide included, Hank Hanegraaff keeps Christians from falling prey to corrupting scientific speculation about the origins of life and reminds us that we are God's creation. This common-sense approach puts the concept of evolution in the grasp of everyday Christians and reminds us that ultimately the key to our purpose in this life comes from understanding whose we are and who created us.
