What of Hank Hanegraaff's criticisms in Christianity in Crisis? Are his quotes out of context? What of D.R. McConnell's A Different Gospel? The same?

Dave:

There is a book that is a rebuttal to Hanegraaff's book entitled "Christianity in Power" by Michael Bruno. Also, another is called "Heresy Hunters: Character Assassination in the Church" by James Spencer. It's true, but Hanegraaff's book is not an expose, but rather, it appears as though he mocks them rather than try to win them. For example, JW's are lost. Books have been written about them. But none of the books mock them. The books "expose" their false doctrines. Besides, Hanegraaff in my opinion, is not a true Apologist. This is another subject but trust me, I have documentation of former employees of CRI who could testify that they helped with the work of that book...did most of the research, etc.
