BOOK REVIEW - HOW TO KEEP YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT IN A WORLD GONE CRAZY; DEVELOPING DISCERNMENT FOR THESE LAST DAYS BY RICK RENNER

 


Do you think this world has gone berserk, especially watching the entertainment media or listening to politicians? Is there a way to escape that lunacy?

I agree with the answer Rick Renner gives in "How To Keep Your Head On Straight In A World Gone Crazy:" We need to return to Scripture and practice spiritual discernment.

This isn't the first book I've read on the subject, but it is unique in perspective. Renner puts himself in the Pentecostal/Charismatic camp, and most discernment ministries I'm familiar with are very wary of that segment of the church. Renner states he believes speaking in tongues is evidence of the Holy Spirit, which I strongly disagree with. In fact, some of the authors recommending this book are part of movements that most Discernment ministries identify as proof we need discernment: namely the Laughing Revival and the Word of Faith movement.


Even with the disagreements, I believe he's on the money on the need to get back to Biblical thinking.
