JOhn Bevere, is not only an awsome author but an awsome preacher as well, have had the pleasure many times of hearing him preach.

I found bait of Satan especially good as it deals with taking offence.

Hi Frankie boy

Yes I've read Undercover as well as Bait of Satan, Drawing Near,  Driven by Eternity and Hearts Ablaze all by John Bevere. Also his wife Lisa has written a book titled Fight Like a Girl which I've bought but haven't started yet. We also have a stack of DVD's including the set of 4 Drawing Near DVD's.  If you have Foxtel they have (in SA) a program on Wed nights at 9.30pm where for the last 6 weeks Lisa has preached about relationships and marriage which has been awesome.  Everything they preach on is backed up by scripture and they are both qualified to teach. They always pray at the start for the Holy Spirit to annoint their preaching which He does.

 I would thoroughly recommend his books to anyone and have found them enlightening, uplifting and often very challenging to those who thought they 'knew' God in RF/RC & similar groups. I knew absolutely nothing at all compared to what I am learning and God is revealing to me now!!  My husband who was never a particularly avid reader before, now reads continually (lots of spare time between appointments) and is loving it and where God is leading him. I would encourage you to read as much as you can Frank as it does help you to think 'outside the RF box'.

God bless, urch

Thanks Urch I've been an avid reader for many years. Have never read any Bevere before.

Am enjoying Tozer, Spurgeon, Chambers of some of the oldies. recently it's been Boyd, Bevere, Viola. I tried Goglio but his video was better than his book, I gave it away.

I dont recall who wrote Repenting of Religion, but it was a beauty.

Any other worthwhile authors? 

A brief word of caution: it would pay to be particularly discerning when it comes to the Bevere's published works. John Bevere was formerly part of Benny Hinn's entourage, with his teachings occasionally straying towards that 'weird' end of the theological spectrum (especially with respect to the 'name-it-and-claim-it' aspects of the so-called 'Word-Faith' movement, coupled with an over-emphasis on 'authority' and the value of 'tongues'). Of course, being discerning should be part-and-parcel of one's approach to reading all Christian writing: 'popular' and 'academic' alike

Appreciate your comments, know nothing of him (will look further). A comment in the other Geelong section today 26th Sept 07 by you stated the over emphasis by Bevere in the idea of pastoral covering. I'm up to page 155 of Under Cover and the emphasis I continue to get is toward God as the covering , however to pray for all authority. From fathers through to to Kings and Governments and everything in between. A lot of scripture to back up the argument is always a plus. (which he gives). As far as the tongue thing, thats also new to me.

What is your issue ian, you state you opinions and I can state mine, however it seems that what ever i say even when asking a serious question from your vast amount of knowledge of scripture you do nothing more that flick me of with  a HUH?? of some derogortory comment

We have had our differences and yes theology is not my strength, however i thought that you may be a little more mature and show the way rather than to delve into schoolyard snide remarks.

Sea urchin has been a supportor of john Bevere and yet I see no comments to her post  like you do to mine.

Time to grow up Ian and be the teacher not the school yard bully

I choose to respond to them accordingly. Now I will admit that Ihavepreviously labeled you 'ignorant' with respect to a variety of content and context specific biblico-theological subject matter, and as I recall, it caused you to have something of an extended 'hissy-fit'. But I've got to be brutally honest with you, 'Earth',
