Playing With Holy Fire: A Wake-Up Call to the Pentecostal-Charismatic Church Book

Over the last 100+ years, the Pentecostal-Charismatic church has witnessed miraculous conversions...

From the Azusa Street Revival, which began in 1906, a movement has grown to bring more people to Jesus than any other movement in history!

While secularism continues to be on the rise in today's society, many areas of the world still experience church growth, thanks to Pentecostal-Charismatic Christians.

BUT the Pentecostal-Charismatic church is also plagued with sexual immorality, financial corruption, doctrinal error, personal flakiness, spiritual gullibility, prophetic abuse, and more. In many ways the state of the church today is not too different from how it was long ago in Corinth. (To make matters worse, the church hides these acts under the cloak of 'liberty in the Holy Spirit.')

Charismatics, it's time to CLEAN HOUSE.

Dr. Michael Brown sounds a wake-up call to the church and addresses some of the most glaring problems, from inaccurate prophetic words that obscure true ones to ministries using scripturally armed marketing techniques in order to manipulate believers into giving!

We must clean up house so the church can grow, flourish, and fulfill God's kingdom purposes in this moment of history.

Michael L Brown (Author)
About

Dr. Michael L. Brown, born in 1955, embodies a fascinating intersection of Jewish heritage, Christian faith, and a passionate pursuit of biblical understanding. His life journey, brimming with unexpected turns and unwavering convictions, reflects his dedication to apologetics, cultural engagement, and reviving spiritual awakening.

Brown's early path diverged from his eventual religious calling. Raised in a secular Jewish household, he embarked on a bohemian lifestyle during his youth, experimenting with drugs and immersing himself in the hippie counterculture. However, a dramatic conversion experience in 1971 led him to embrace Jesus as the Messiah, profoundly altering his trajectory.

Driven by his newfound faith, Brown embarked on a quest for knowledge. He earned a M.Div. from Master's Seminary and a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literature from New York University. This academic foundation fueled his passion for biblical scholarship, particularly focusing on Hebraic hermeneutics, a methodology emphasizing the original Hebrew context of scripture.

Beyond scholarly pursuits, Brown actively engages with a wide audience. He hosts the nationally syndicated radio show "The Line of Fire," known for its engaging debates and discussions on faith, culture, and current events. He also travels extensively, speaking at conferences and churches, engaging audiences with his dynamic message and approachable style.

Brown's influence extends beyond radio waves and lecture halls. He has authored over 40 books, tackling diverse topics like apologetics, anti-Semitism, and spiritual renewal. He actively participates in the Messianic Jewish movement, bridging the gap between Jewish and Christian communities. This lifelong pursuit of understanding and communication reflects his core belief in the transformative power of faith and the importance of open dialogue.

Dr. Michael L. Brown's journey illustrates the power of personal transformation and the unwavering pursuit of truth. As a scholar, apologist, and communicator, he continues to ignite conversations, challenge perspectives, and inspire individuals to delve deeper into their faith and understanding of the world.
