Two men, ibn Saud and ibn Abdul Wahhab, struck an alliance in 1744, thus establishing the first Saudi state. Their descendants would be the rulers of that state for generations. As a political-religious force, the newly created regime declared jihad and subdued a far-reaching number of bedouin tribes. They called their movement "the call to the doctrine of the Oneness of God," known in the West as Wahhabism. Those who would not accept their doctrine were considered disbelievers and polytheists, making it acceptable to kill them and confiscate their property. This doctrine and practice has been exported around the world and is presented as the basis for modern global terrorism. Oil, money, intrigue, world wars, terrorism, and the national security interests of the West are interwoven with the history of Saudi Arabia. Extensively documented with canceled checks, payment schedules to the families of suicide bombers, high-level intelligence reports and more. Dore Gold is the president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and served as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations from 1997-1999.

When confronted with uncomfortable questions from atheists and agnostics, cultists and pagans, or skeptics and mystics, do your once-firm convictions begin to crumble and compromise? Do you tend to take flight—or instead, are you able to stand firm and "earnestly contend for the faith?" (Jude 3)

With the keen eye of an experienced treasure hunter, the author helps readers probe and unearth the incredible wealth of guidance found in God’s Word. The resulting adventure will not only strengthen the faith of believers but equip them to live daily according to His revealed truth in an increasingly hostile world. "God says it and I believe it." Issue settled, right? Or wrong? This common response may satisfy the faith of some who struggle with answering difficult questions—but such a reply does little to ward off assaults from skeptics, let alone "convince the gainsayers" by intelligently "giving a reason of the hope that is within you" (1 Peter 3:15). Sadly, most critics who wield tough questions with sarcasm do not expect an intelligent response; and tragically, many dismiss the truth when they do get one. However, what about those who legitimately question the Christian faith—including weak or battle-weary believers whose spiritual convictions may be hanging by a thread? This fascinating book can be a great help by itself, or used in conjunction with the audio series to assist listeners—sincere skeptics and believers alike—with more than 40 years' experience in seeking (and finding) biblical answers to life's most challenging questions.

BONUS MP3: Included in the book is a one-disc MP3 radio discussion of >I?In Defense of the Faith from Search the Scriptures Daily.

For those seeking "self-help," Dave and Tom share the truth of the gospel, which is our only hope of salvation.

It may surprise some that the New Spirituality of Oprah and her many "enlightened" friends (Rhonda Byrne, Eckhart Tolle, and others) is nothing new at all. In fact, the principles taught in Rhonda Byrne's book and DVD and promoted by Oprah to millions of loyal fans as The Secret, is in reality the same ancient seduction of Eve by the Serpent: "Your eyes will be opened...and ye shall be as gods." Genesis 3:5

Unfortunately, it is not only the world that is receptive to Oprah's "New Spirituality" and her counterfeit self-help gospel with its so-called Law of Attraction, but an increasing number of evangelical leaders and movements are rapidly aligning with false doctrines identical to those "revealed" in The Secret. In fact, The Secret provides nothing new to the reader or viewer. Instead, just as Adam and Eve tried to hide their nakedness after their Luciferic "enlightenment," so the counterfeit lies of New Spirituality fail to cover mankind's quest for Christhood.

This documentary lays a sure foundation to inform and equip believers with biblical answers for addressing those who have been deceived by The Secret. Viewers of this critical examination of The Secret will be truthfully enlightened as Dave and Tom use God's Word to not only expose the occult roots of New Spirituality, but identify its connection to unbiblical movements within the contemporary evangelical church. 55 min.
