Pulpit Crimes, the criminal mishandling of God's word
"PULPIT CRIMES: The Criminal Mishandling of God's Word" by James White of Alpha-Omega Ministries may be his most provocative book yet. White sets out to examine numerous "crimes" being committed in pulpits throughout the land every week, as he seeks to leave no stone un-turned. Based firmly upon the bedrock of Holy Scripture, one "crime" after another is laid bare for all to see. "The pulpit is to be a place where God speaks from His Word: what has happened to this sacred duty in our day? Let pulpit crimes be exposed by the light of God's Word." Dr. James White

Dr. White has penned an outstanding work with Pulpit Crimes. He plainly discusses many of the issues that plague the western church. Dr. White does so in a loving manner, effectively rebuking those guilty of the crimes with Scripture as we are called to do. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who sees the professing Christian church as a rainbow of beliefs and positions. There is a reason for that, and as Mr. White correctly points out, it is due to a low view of Scripture. It's a quick read (about 150 pages), and Mr. White's style, as with his other books is one that is entertaining, and pleasing to read. He explains any technical terms he utilizes, which always makes things easier. A great book of warning for new Christians, and a source of tremendous insight to those who look at the church, either from the inside or out, and wonder what is going on with orthodoxy. Joe Schmoe
