										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>NEWLY RELEASED! </strong></h2>
<p>Puzzled by supernatural manifestations? Tongues, prophecy, angels, visions, dreams, voices, mysticism, holy laughter, shaking, falling, and more!&#8211;How do we know what is from God? Is It of God? Volume 2 pracitically applies biblical discernment principles from Volume 1. Acclaimed by scholars.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As a pastor and scholar, Dr. Paul King explores a variety of controversial topics modeling his discernment guidebook honestly and fairly showing us how Christians can have godly responses to perplexing situations. He asks the hard questions, exploring each topic in light of Scripture, church history, and principles of Holy Spirit enlightenment in order to exercise true spiritual discernment.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Rev. Patrick A. Blewett, DMin, PhD,</strong> Dean, A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Some Christians pursue wonders more than the Wonderful Counselor. Reacting in turn, some throw out the baby with the bathwater and dismiss God’s miracles or speaking today. The mandatory <em>biblical </em>solution, however, is <em>discernment</em>. Like the first volume of Is It of God?, this book is also richly informed by careful scholarship and the voices of spiritual leaders of the past. Paul King summons us again to this desperately needed task of practically applying careful spiritual discernment.”</p>
<p><strong>CRAIG S. KEENER, PHD</strong>, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Dr. Paul King has shown excellent practical and biblical insight into the sometimes chaotic world of Pentecostal and charismatic expressions. He hits head-on the most controversial, even explosive, subjects in religious experience in the most balanced sure-footed manner, such as &#8220;Can a Christian have a demon?&#8221; or &#8220;true, false, and mixed prophecy,&#8221; or the &#8220;Kundalini spirit vs. the Holy Spirit,&#8221; and a variety of other issues that demand the serious, biblical examination that King provides.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Jon Ruthven, PhD,</strong> Professor Emeritus, Regent University School of Divinity, author of <em>On the Cessation of the Charismata</em> and <em>What&#8217;s Wrong with Protestant Theology.</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How can we know a teaching, practice, or supernatural manifestation is from God? This book provides sound principles for discerning truth, error, and mixture from the Bible our Gold Standard! Discerning leaders affirm:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><span lang="EN-GB">&#8220;We live in a crazy world where Christians lack basic grounding in </span><span lang="EN-GB">God&#8217;s Word. The result is a shallow version of Christianity that is a mile wide and an inch deep. We are tossed by winds of doctrine. We are rootless and unstable. We chase social media &#8220;prophets&#8221; and &#8220;super apostles&#8221; who can wow crowds with charisma but have no character. That is why this book had to be written. I am grateful that Paul King had the courage to write it.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>&#8211;Lee Grady, Mordecai Project, former editor of <em>Charisma</em> magazine</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;One of the greatest privileges of my life was serving as a leader in the Brownsville Revival, and to this day, more than 20 years later, I meet people who were saved and transformed during this powerful move of God. Yet we must have something even greater today if our nation is to be changed. How, then, do we pursue revival without falling into deception? How can we distinguish between true and false moves of the Spirit? Paul King gives much food for thought and many practical guidelines to help us prepare for &#8212; and embrace &#8212; the next great outpouring. May the Lord hasten it in our day!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211;Dr. Michael L. Brown, Ph.D., President, FIRE School of Ministry, host of the Line of Fire broadcast.</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Reacting against Enlightenment anti-supernaturalism, some today lust for anything paranormal, and even some Christians pursue wonders more than the Wonderful Counselor. Reacting in turn, some throw out the baby with the bathwater and dismiss God&#8217;s miracles or speaking today. The mandatory <em>biblical</em> solution, however, is <em>discernment</em>. In this book richly informed by careful scholarship and the voices of spiritual leaders of the past, Paul King summons us to this desperately needed task.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211;Craig S. Keener, Ph.D. F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>“Jesus and New Testament writers predict an onslaught of deception in the last days. Dr. Paul King&#8217;s latest book is, therefore, on time and on target.  <em>Is it of God?</em> will help the contemporary believer negotiate his/her way through the multiple voices claiming truth in our post-modern world.”</p>
<p>–Dr. Eddie L. Hyatt, America Reawakening, Grapevine, TX</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>“Thank you Dr. King, for your expertise, as a theologian, a pastor, a professor,  an author, and a wise discerning seeker. Thank you for this thoroughly researched, insightful, and much needed comprehensive book on “Discernment.” Your emphasis on balance in all areas, theologically, spiritually, and the “world, the flesh, and the devil” is excellent, thought provoking, inspired, and refreshing. This book will be enlightening for all, as it is always based on God’s Word and it is full of wisdom and challenge. It is a much needed resource in this present culture of confusion, fear, and New Age proliferation. It is clearly written so that we, as believers  will seek the Lord Jesus Christ first as our King of Kings, and  at the same time remain open with  wise discernment to understand and to experience the power and the gifts  of the Holy Spirit in our lives. BRAVO!”</p>
<p>&#8211;Judith King, LMSW, ACSW; Board member of Freedom in Christ Ministries , USA and International</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While there are many diatribes against the modern Word of Faith Movement and as many defenses of it, little scholarly work has investigated, analyzed, and compared and contrasted modern faith teaching with earlier evangelical writers. Only Believe is such a ground-breaking book scholarly book that is written for non-scholars and scholars. Among its many accomplishments, Only Believe . . . * theologically engages both the teachings of the Word of Faith Movement and their critics, examining from the unique viewpoint of the elliptical nature of truth the counter-polarities of faith teaching and practice; * traces the origins of faith teachings such as revelation knowledge, logos and rhema, point of contact, seed faith, faith as a law and a force, covenant rights and inheritance, positive confession, and attitudes toward doctors and medicine through the church fathers, mystics, reformers, Pietists, Puritans, and the 19th-century Wesleyan, Keswick, and Higher Life holiness and healing movements; * draws upon the faith teachings and practices of a wide variety of theological and denominational backgrounds: Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian/Reformed, Episcopalian/Anglican, Lutheran, Congregationalist, holiness, Brethren, Catholic, Pentecostal/charismatic, and many others; * highlights positive, balanced principles and models of faith of respected evangelical leaders, guiding the reader away from questionable teaching and practice and yet encouraging a walk by faith that is both strong and sound; * contains a treasure house of preaching, teaching, Bible study, examples of faith, and research material.</p>
<p>&#8220;The definitive, comprehensive study of faith teaching and practice throughout church history.&#8221; -Mark E. Roberts, Ph.D.</p>
