An Open Letter to the Churches of God
If you have ever been associated with the Worldwide Church of God or one of its offshoots, I ask you to prayerfully read this letter.
Book Excerpt
Absolute Power
The transformation of the Worldwide Church of God into a mainstream evangelical group is the most astonishing story in modern religion. WCG leaders have told their version of events in numerous books, articles and interviews. That version, however, is riddled with errors and outright lies. In a new book to be published this year, Trumpet executive editor Stephen Flurry exposes the reality of what happened to the WCG. Here is the first chapter.

Courtesy of the rise in the public profile of the Vatican and the rise of Islam, religion is headline news.Yet it is as confused as ever in answering the basic questions of life.
