"You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe--and shudder." (James 2:19) Every church has its own method for getting to heaven, so how can a person know the true way to salvation? If someone is a Christian, how does he know if he walks on the correct path? What does the salvation call of Jesus look like?
"Even the Demons Believe" examines how Jesus made Christians while contrasting it with today's salvation calls. This book is a great tool for introducing non-believers to Christ, as well as giving Christians a fresh look at their salvation. "Even the Demons Believe" describes the one message every church should declare, for there is... "...one Lord, one faith, one baptism." (Ephesians 4:5)

- One sided theology at it's most dangerous
-
As others have said, there is great truth in this book. It is, however, an overreaction to a perceived problem in Christian's perspectives on God's Grace.
The writer is quick to condemn, and produces the "old trick" that "if you disagree with me you are not a true Christian" several times as a defence mechanism to what he KNOWS will be the criticism.
IMO it is a sad opportunity missed, as the books central message is a key one for our age, but the delivery is terrible. Despite my inclination to stop listening after the first 3 chapters, I persisted, but was left disturbed in all the wrong ways!!Overall - A must!
-
People already consider me as a mature Christian - this message has booted me back to level 1. A must listen!
Overall - Danger, WIll Robinson!

I read Part 1 of this book before the unsettled feeling I had caused me to put it down. Its reasoning bears all the marks of a 'Christian' cult. Much much of what I read is true and the book does present some aspects of discipleship that are commonly ignored. I found the same is true when I have spoken with Mormons and Jehovah's Whiteness. However, there are lots or half-truths and scriptures out of context. He also used Dietrich Bonhoeffer's phrase "cheap grace" but clearly has a very differnt view of "costly grace," believing that the "cost" is all ours! HA! Bonhoeffer would flip.
While lip-service is given to love and grace, the author's words are like that of a pharisee- with many of the right answers but the wrong heart.
A quick internet search reveals that Timothy Williams and his "Sound Doctrine Church" are frequently identified by ex-members as an abusive cult. In March 2009, a NC Judge even ruled that a woman could not homeschool her children based on the mother's involvement with this author and his church. If you can find the court document, its a good read.
You will know them by their fruit.
Skip this book. Read the Cost of Discipleship instead.Overall - Show ALL Reviews
- Lordship Theology
-
This issue was dealt with by the early Church fathers all the way through Augustine and the Reformists...If your faith is in Christ the person, it doesnt matter the person telling you the gospel. It isnt man's arguments that lead people to Christ, it is divine revelation as one is sharing their faith. The Spirit convicts, judges, and regenerates those who respond to that divine revelation. Everything else is just superficial to what is really happenning at salvation. Books like this promote MacArthur's style of Lordship theology which says if you havent made Jesus the Physical Lord over your Physical actions, you arent Spiritiually saved. Belief is by faith, Discipleship takes work, yet only work empowered by His grace will be rewarded. James show how to know a person IS saved, not how to know if they arent. Hope this review will be a blessing.
Overall - We need to heed the Bible, not the man-made scruples of anti-nomianists
-
THis book emphasizes the FULL teaching of the Bible on faith and works, not the one-sided caricature that has been so popular in the last 500 years. It merely recounts what SCRIPTURE actually says. Ignore this teaching at your peril.

From listening to the first few chapters (that's all I could make it though) it becomes clear that only the author will be saved.

It's a short book (just over 2.5hrs) and it contains some very good points regarding salvation and Christianity. The way the book comes across, I don't agree 100% with what is discussed in the book, but it did make go and look up many of the passages that the book referenced so I could reinforce what I believe. If you believe that the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired Word of God, complete and without error in the original autographs, I fully recommend it as a must download/listen to audiobook.
Overall - Well, to me this is true...

Well, to me this is true Christianity. You REALLY need to be in step with the Spirit to understand else you will feel like somebody thinks you are not a Christian(a more likely case). You would rather save your time, don't download to listen than listen to make an opinion later.
