If you have been longing to finally learn from the scriptures "how" to SPEAK IN TONGUES then this is the book for you. The author simply lays out common fears and how to overcome them with comfort from the Bible.

If you want to escape religion/tradition and want zero in on serious biblical research regarding the receiving of the holy spirit, then this is the book. If you are hungry for "how" to receive, but never could or if you just want clarification on the subject, then the wait for a copy is well worth the time!

Are you a little tired of tradition? Have you ever wondered about some of the things in the bible that they don't teach in church? If so this is a very enlightening book. If you have any questions e-mail me. (and those ppl who call this a cult book are mistaken. I wonder how many of them have acually read the Dr.'s books??)

Wierwille (or more accurately, his research team) makes a valiant attempt at proving September 11, 3 B.C. as the birthdate of Jesus Christ. Whether or not he's correct rests on a number of questionable assumptions, such as the relevance of the signs of the Zodiac to scriptural references to Judah as a "Lion's whelp" and a woman in the sky clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet.

This book's sources are well-documented, and one may find the same date presented by Ernest L. Martin in "The Star that Astonished the World" and "The Birth of Christ Recalculated."

Other doctrines of Wierwille presented in this book are real head-scratchers, such as his insistence that Mary and Joseph had intercourse AFTER Christ was conceived, but before he was born.

This is a fascinating read.

This book was written in two parts - the prophecies in the bible about the coming Messiah, and the actual celestial events that took place upon His arrival. Both sections are very thoroughly researched and detailed, and tied together very well. I read this book about 10 years ago and subsequently watched a presentation on it in a local university's planetarium. The astronomer who presented it praised this work after a very enthusiastic and exciting presentation. Unfortunately I lent the book out and never got it back, so here I am trying to get another copy...

The book is so clear teaching about the astronomy in the announcement of the first coming of Jesus Christ and so, in many other points concerning the first days in the life of our beloved Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. This book bless me with it's accuracy and enlights my eyes to see the greatness of God and the importance of the born of Jesus for the humankind.

I have been a born.again Christian my whole life.

I study and read out of the King James Version Bible.

I want to clairify some amazing truths about the author of these books, Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille.

He was a great man of God rightly dividing the word of truth and standing on the word with FIRE!

This man's desires to study God's will/word of truth to help others understand the full capacity of their maxium potential was simply amazing!

He is only a man like the rest of us (true) but it is just so rediculious as to how certain people(s) bash againes his name.

He was the founder of The Way Ministry which was a wonderful non.denominational Christian body of believers who all had the same passion to learn about the truth and after he passed away in the 1980's the advisory seeped into the path of believers and corrupted the Way.

Today I, as well as many others, am no longer a part of The Way Ministry.

I am not saying anything bad about it because I have no right to judge and I'm writing all of this because others have done just that against a man who no longer lives today. (I am also recommending a fantastic book) If and when in the future the book is available again, I strongly suggest that anyone who wants to learn more of what God and his son Jesus Christ have to say, then I recommend this book as well as studying the bible for yourselve's with love in your hearts.

Though I never met Dr. Wierwille in person, I believe his stand upon Gods word was genuine. He was a man who researched the word of God to learn it for himself and to better be able to teach other how to read the Bible on their own. Yes, on their own!! God could of never ment for just a select few people to understand His Word, for He deisres we all come to a knowledge of the truth, His Word. If you really want to get a good basis after reading this book for how to read and understand the Bible for yourself, I recommend buying E.W. Bullingers "How to Enjoy the Bible." This book is essentialy the Power for Abundant Living Class that Dr. Wierwille videotaped and made available for people to learn how to not only get born again but how to "manifest" the nine manifistations of Holy Spirit.

I Know the Way international, I was a PFAL grad in 1981. And I know the awful things that "Organized Religion" has to say about Dr. Victor Paul Wierville's ministry. Yet nowhere, in any of his books did he ever propose his own interpretation of the Bible. His position was simply that God's word interprets itself, either in verse, context or previous usage. He didn't offer easy answers to his students, he merely showed them how to go about getting to the truth. And like just about

every great Christian throughout history, his reward was to be openly critized and denounced as a heretical cult leader. I Guess not much has changed in the twenty years since I sat through the PFAL class. The same People are still spouting the same holier than thou condemnation that sent me looking for something better in the first place. I'm sorry that Dr. Wierville wasn't good enough for them and I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for them. I just hope God thinks we're good enough because even Christ himself was reviled and condemned before Men. I learned a lot from this book, and the only people who would want it removed from publication are probably the same people who don't want your child to be allowed to pray in school. So when you pray, pray for the religious freedom that this country was founded on. Don't take it for granted or you might end up "BEING" the next heretic.

Simply put this is typical "non-Christian" cultist trash written by a dead heretic and should be regarded as such. A King James Bible and a good concordance are all one needs to see just how far-fetched most of the ideas V.P. Wierwille "audibly" tried to pass off as Biblical truths. I would recommend this book for research on cults or to start your fireplace.

First of all, I would like to inform readers that contrary to one reviewer's comments, I am not involved with The Way International. I have been a researcher/student of the Word of God for over 26 years. I found this particular work a tremendous blessing in dispelling many erroneous beliefs concerning death, life after death, resurrection, etc. This is a marvelous work in regard to Biblical accuracy concerning this subject from God's Word. In the occident (Western cultures) many times the beliefs do not align with the Word of God as in the Near East or do many times our "texts" contain 'pure' translations. This work will definitely help clear up much confusion and help you understand the importance of THE HOPE OF JESUS CHRIST'S RETURN and our gathering together unto him.

Life after death before the return of Jesus Christ is ONE of the most poisonous teachings that has infiltrated the truth of Christianity. This erroneous belief opens wide the door to the un-Godly non-biblical lies of parapsychology, psychic readings and other such dangerous spiritual darknesses. This rare and extremely valuable work concisely presents the truths of the scripture for all those who have "eyes to see and ears to hear".

Wierwille's thesis must be taken seriously. His book must not.

Although he makes an attempt at being reader-friendly, he does so at the expense of sound proof of his thesis. This is a laughably bad book, and its primary usefulness lies in reassuring you if you already agree that Jesus Christ is not God.

A much more comprehensive attempt at addressing this issue can be found in Anthony Buzzard and Charles Hunting's "The Doctrine of the Trinity: Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound" and the book "One God and One Lord" by former Wierwille followers John Lynn, John Schoenheit and Mark Graeser. Of course, defenses of the Trinity doctrine can be found in any Christian bookstore.

If you're going to disagree with the Trinity or try to disprove it, Wierwille's book should be your last resource.

This book really opened up my spiritual eyes. I am going to preaching a lot different now that I understand the truth. No wonder I could never make much sense out of what most preachers said about who Jesus is. I recommend this book for everyone who wants to know God and how Jesus relates to God.

I found this book to be a very in depth study on this subject but broke down piece by piece that anyone can understand. Dr. Wierwille handles the few scriptures the trinity stands on and does not miss out that 68 times it says son of God and nowhere does it say God the son. He points out the few scriptures the trinity hangs once looked at from a bibical reasearch method three steps of letting the word interpet itself either in the 1)verse where written or 2)in the context or 3) where the word is used before. This keeps you from just looking at it from a trinity perspective. He also states the trinity is nowhere in the word! His research on the history of the trinity was very helpful for me to start my research to build an even bigger foundation on this subject. Jesus Christ is not God!
