This concise but powerful 44-page booklet was adapted from the book,
Charismatic Captivation,
(see below) also by Dr. Lambert. It was published in response to the requests
of many readers of the "big book" who asked if there was a condensed
version of that book they could give to loved ones and acquaintances who they
believed were part of a dominating and controlling church or ministry.
Multitudes of sincere and trusting
believers are unaware victims of the heavy-hand of hyper-authoritarianism,
or spiritual abuse, psychological enslavement, and exploitation, perpetrated by
dominating and controlling ministers and groups. They are ensnared in the web of
religious captivation, and don't realize it.
The problem with spiritual
blindness is its victims are totally blind to it. Likewise, the
problem with deception is that the deceived are deceived about being
deceived. Victims of authoritarianism are indoctrinated to accept
Scripturally-condemned, -prohibited doctrines and practices as being
proper and normative, though they are neither.
This fast-moving, easy-to-read
booklet explains directly and concisely the paramount points and issues of
Charismatic Captivation. It tells readers:
- how to recognize unbiblical
hyper-authoritarian doctrines and practices;
- how these doctrines and
practices became a widespread, integral part of the Neo-Pentecostal
church;
- why these teachings and practices
are outright witchcraft, or sorcery, authored by Satan himself;
- "The Fifteen Common
Control Mechanisms" employed by hyper-authoritarian ministers and
ministries.
