Dr. Thomas E. McCarroll exposes the truth about the dangerous aspects of cults and reveals what these so-called belief systems really are.  

When most of us think of cults, we think of those depicted in the media that portray outrageous and extreme behavior. 

What about those that many recognize as simply an alternative religion or “way of
life?”  McCarroll investigates the most recognizable religious teachings and belief systems, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons), Jehovah’s Witness, and the New Age Movement.  He contends that these organizations share very similar traits and that their teachings are far removed from true Christian faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ. 

Read what educators from the Heart of America Christian Seminary say about Secrets of the Cults: 

The material presented in this book, Secrets of the Cults, is some of the most outstanding work done on false religions in recent years. It covers their histories, their beliefs, where they deviate from traditional, orthodox Christianity, and how to go about witnessing to cult members.

The author, Dr. Tom McCarroll, has taught this material at Heart of America Christian Seminary. The students found it informative, reliable and thought-provoking.

This book should become a classic in the fight against false, Christian religions. It is of value to pastors, Bible teachers, students and anyone seeking to find out what cults believe and how they deviate from true Christian faith. 

McCarroll uses his extensive knowledge and research of the subject to educate the reader about the first cults, how they were established, and how modern-day cults mirror those from the ancient past, specifically the Gnostics and Arians.  Secrets of the Cults takes a candid look at cults and reveals just how far removed they are from the true nature of God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible’s scriptures.
