The great deception of the 21st century At a time when the church needs an urgent wake-up call and a fresh encounter with Jesus, the hyper-grace message is lulling many to sleep. Claiming to be a new revelation of grace, this teaching is gaining in popularity, but is it true? Or is the glorious truth of grace being polluted by errors, leading to backsliding, compromise, and even the abandonment of faith? Hyper-Grace looks at the major teachings put forth by many adherents of this "grace reformation" and prayerfully compares those teachings with the Word of God, answering questions such as: · How do our sins affect our relationship with God? · What is the relevance of the Old Testament to our faith? · What does Jesus actually have to say about grace? Without watering down the Bible's true message of grace, Michael Brown gives you the facts, demonstrating the dangers of this seductive message and showing you how to keep from being taken in.

This book is all about doctrine, the doctrine of grace, modern grace, hyper-grace or what others term the grace reformation. It names names….like Joseph Prince, Clark Whitten, Steve McVey, Andrew Farley, Rob Rufus, Paul Ellis, John Crowder, John Sheasby and others. Most of these men I have never even heard of.
Even though Mr. Brown names names he is neutral in tone and never accusatory nor condemning. On the contrary several times he allows for the fact that some people are truly highly blessed by the modern grace message. What he objects to is it’s imbalance.
This author is very good at differentiating between things and qualifying things. He is extremely thorough and with great detail goes over every “stone”. I would even classify this book as scholarly in that regard.
Some of the actual doctrines or issues that Mr. Brown addresses are the forgiveness of future sins, the need for the ongoing confession of the saints, ongoing sanctification and repentance and conviction of sin. He helped to clear up an issue I had with one the author’s mentioned and helped me to understand why I didn’t agree with this particular author, in a way that I would now be able to explain it to other people.
Imbalanced doctrine seems to stem from taking a truth from scripture and then completely ignoring or justifying away any scriptures that seem to say the opposite when in fact there are lots of dichotomies in His Word that require us to blend seemingly opposite views. Taking all scriptures on any certain topic, without injecting any pre-conceived notions into them is the only way to arrive at balanced views. This book illustrates this truth very well.
If you have felt uneasy about some of the modern grace teachings and didn’t quite know why or was unable to articulate why they were wrong but would like to be able to, this book is for you. If you think you may have been deceived and want to find out for sure, this book is for you. In any case, real truth is able to stand up to scrutiny.
