<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>God's Word is clear that not everything that glitters is gold. In this uncompromising book, John MacArthur and the contributors lay a foundation for biblical discernment to assess several current Christian trends.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Eureka!"</p><p>In an age of open-mindedness, many believers accept too much with too little discernment, resulting in great confusion and compromise. But God's Word makes it clear that not everything that glitters is gold. False teaching is at every turn, and the temptation to embrace it is great. As God's people we are called to sift through the overwhelming number of traditions and trends and use the truth of Scripture to determine which are the true treasures-and which are "fool's gold."</p><p>General editor John MacArthur and the contributors of this uncompromising book define the principles of biblical discernment and use them to address several contemporary Christian issues. They provide straightforward, biblical critiques of some popular but unfortunate Christian trends, such as watered-down preaching and doctrinally questionable best-selling books. Dr. MacArthur ends with a practical plan for cultivating discernment in the Christian life.</p><p>It is the duty of every Christian-not just pastors and elders-to follow the biblical command to cling to what is good and to reject what is not. This book will equip you with a foundation for biblical discernment that will enable you to make careful distinctions in your thinking about truth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"If we are going to be discerning people, we must develop the skill of discriminating between truth and error, good and bad."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>John MacArthur</strong> is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, where he has served since 1969.
