" This is THE well-researched debunking of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons (and lots of less prominent cults). Reading the man-centered, un-regenerate history of their origins, history, and doctrines closes the case that these are not well-intentioned but ignorant spin-offs of orthodox Christianity but evil creations that deadly twists of the gospel. I recommend finding the book in someone else's house or the bookstore and reading the Jehovah's Witness and Mormon sections. "

" This is an excellent book that gives an introductory look into the world of the cults. Dr. Walter Martin spent a life time studying and "working in the filth" so that he could equip Christians in how to preserve their faith in the face of Falsehood and to possibly bring those people to Christ. It is a very good book and I highly recommend it. "

" Didn't read every chapter, but overall I greatly enjoyed this book and felt that it gave very nice overviews of each belief system. The chapters on the psychological processes and ways to evangelize were particularly interesting and helpful in my understanding of the topics. "

" I met Dr. Walter Martin before he left this earth and he is one of the best and most knowledgeable researchers on cults--he gives all the facts (which are very interesting) and lets YOU see for yourself who those nice, pleasant (misguided) folks are that come knocking on your door. "

" I got this book for research purposes, and it's the kind of book that would never get written now as it would result in a million libel cases. WRM basically tells you what numerous popular cults believe, how they act, and what the "true" origins of each organisation are, all from his viewpoint as a Christian scholar. A very fascinating read. "

" It's more of a reference book and I've only studied, Islam, Mormonism, Scientology, JWs, and a few others. The material doesn't read as objective as I'd like but it definitely goes into great detail on things such as origin, founder/s, practices, core beliefs. "
