Summary: A discerning look at what we're allowing into our minds.
Review: I have had the privilege of reading this book and believe that it will be one of the most significant religious books published this decade. The authors see a parallel between the humanistic practices of the public schools and the invasion of unbiblical teachings in the church, particularly in church youth groups. Writing out of deep concern and Christian charity, the authors warn Christians of the danger of using unscriptural teachings and techniques to convey Biblical concepts. The book warns in strong terms that the Church is being inundated with ungodly, false teachings, including godless psychology and sensitivity training. The result is that a whole generation of young people is being spiritually dumbed down and neutralized in their ability to stand up for TRUTH. The authors also include practical steps on how to detect such teachings as well as what to do to return to the truth of Scripture. This book should serve as a wake-up call to parents to make sure they know what their children are being taught in Church. I wholeheartedly endorse this book and highly recommend it. It is must reading for all concerned Christians, especially Sunday school teachers, Pastors, youth leaders, and parents.

Summary: Paranoia Strikes Deep
Review: The authors have confirmed that Secular Humanistic material exists in the church. I noticed things myself when teaching Sunday school to 7th & 8th graders several years ago and could not believe my eyes. I admire and envy the authors' passion and how they are on fire for the Lord's work, until He comes again. This book is a must for Christian parents and Sunday school teachers.

Summary: Good Read, a Bit Extreme
Review: This book offers a wake up call for every youth and sunday school teacher to be careful of the humanistic and secular teachings that have crept into the Christian community. It is a good reminder to "test everything" (1 Thess. 5:21) and to only choose materials that teach godly principles. However, the authors tend to be a little nit picky and a bit extreme (Ecc. 7:18) in their paranoia! Also, the book does not offer any solutions or suggestions of what materials to use, which I would have liked to see. Good read.

Summary: Paranoia Strikes Deep
Review: This shrilly written and poorly edited book needs to be round filed and fast. Lack of facts coupled with quotes taken out of context. Sunday School teachers: run away fast from this book written (?) by paranoid Eagle Forum fanatics.

Summary: Not everything in this book rises above junk food
Review: While the authors justifiably attack the use of psychobabble and group dynamics that are marketed to youth groups these days, they also cast too wide a net and attack everything that just doesn't meet their taste.A good example is their quick brush off of a wilderness expedition ministry in a few paragraphs without really justifying their position, right before they rightly take on a group dynamic exercise. The worst chapter is their review of an Audio Adrenaline concert. They report that it was called The Zombie tour and leave the impression it might be occult oriented without even an honest discussion of the illustration from the lead singer's own missionary background. Comments made during the concert are also presented out of context-- though it's possible that irony is lost on the willfully ignorant. This whole chapter in a book on how feelings are taking over for good teaching is about how these women FELT about the concert. An editor probably should have told them not to use so many exclamation points, also.
