This site is about the premier book, Charismatic Captivation, by Steven Lambert. You'll find here a detailed description of the book, its Table of Contents, chapter synopses, sample chapters, a special word from the author, and blog articles adapted from the book.
The book, in both print and e-book version, may be purchased directly from this site at a discounted rate, or it can also be ordered through booksellers around the world, online (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, et al.) or brick-and-mortar outlets.
Charismatic Captivation exposes the widespread problem of authoritarian abuse in some Neo-Pentecostal church-groups, and explains how it became infused into the very fabric, foundation, and functions of the Neo-Pentecostal church after being introduced through a Charismatic campaign known as the Discipleship/Shepherding Movement (1970-77). References on this site to "Discipleship" or "Shepherding" (and variations) doctrines, teachings, proponents, participants, and so forth, allude to the pertinences of that movement.
WARNING: This book contains "the REAL truth" from GOD about hyper-authoritarianism in many popular spiritual streams, high-profile churches, and ministries, whose leaders do not want you to know! The message it contains has been denigrated and denounced by many (apparently guilty) church leaders. Do not read this book if you are not ready to know the REAL Truth, and do not follow its advice if you are not ready to be ostracized by streams, networks, churches, and leaders who espouse the false doctrines and employ the unbiblical control mechanisms it exposes!
