  Additional Info
  The zeal and dedication of Jehovah’s Witnesses mask a highly disciplined organization that has a troubled history. Moreover, their thorough knowledge of their own scriptures gives a pretense of having spiritual truth. The movement has grown about 1.1 million worldwide in 1965 to 4.4 million today. Yet all is not what it seems in the Watchtower Society. How do the teachings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses run counter to orthodox Christianity? What drives converts to give hundreds of hours a year to “witnessing”? What draws converts to a cult of strict control by religious leaders?

  Why this series?

  This is an age when countless groups and movements, old and new, mark the religious landscape in our culture, leaving many people confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because few people have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, these books provide essential information and insights for their spiritual journeys.

  Each book has five sections:

  *A concise introduction to the group
  *An overview of the group’s theology-in its own words
  *Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group
  *A bibliography with sources for further study
  *A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group.

  The writers of these volumes are well qualified to present clear and reliable information and help us discern religious truth from falsehood.
