"Paul Carden is extremely knowledgeable and easy-to-understand. The first session gives a well-grounded Biblical basis for a study of this nature and Carden gives ample reasoning for why Christians today need to go through a study of this nature."

Reviews
Review by: Edmond Gruss, The Master's College, Santa Clarita, CA - April 12, 2010
General editor Paul Carden has once again produced a very helpful pamphlet in this expanded and revised edition. People often wonder or ask how various cults and religions originated and what they believe. This provides a concise and accurate summary of their founders, their key beliefs, and how these differ from biblical Christianity, as well as other pertinent information. The material is easy to read and to understand. I recommend this valuable resource to Christian bookstores, pastors, and to Christians of every age. My teenage grandson reviewed the material and stated, “It's very important for all believers to understand how biblical Christianity differs from cults and world religions. It really opened my eyes to these other beliefs.”

Review by: Ron Rhodes, Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries - April 12, 2010
In over three decades of cult studies, I’ve never encountered a guide on the cults and false religions as concise as this one. In a day of information-overload, this helpful guide clearly distinguishes the truth of Christianity from the counterfeits. I recommend it highly.

Endorsement of Paul Carden:
Having worked with Paul Carden for years — including as long-time colleagues on the popular Bible Answer Man radio broadcast — I can say without reservation that there is no one better qualified to oversee the production of Christianity, Cults, & Religions. His research is first-rate, and his ability to sift the most important facts from a mountain of cult data will no doubt be appreciated by the many readers of this fine publication.

Review by: Don Francis - September 24, 2010
Thank you for the DVD study "Christianity, Cults and Religion" with Paul Carden. He has a great grasp of the Christian faith. I'm considering using his session on essential Christian doctrine in our membership class. But he also thoroughly understands the background and beliefs of many cults and false religions. The Bible warns over and over again to beware of false teachers and false teachings and this series is an easy way to do that. I highly recommend it! -Pastor Don Francis, Independence, MO
