[UntoHim]

Here are some of the mixed reviews of this book:

Micah Thom
3.0 out of 5 stars Much good here but mixed with too much error . . .
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2009
Faust's hermeneutically unsound ideas about a "second death" for non-overcoming believers as well as their names being blotted out of the "book of life" caused me to decide to get rid of this book. He is not the first to get this aspect of the overcoming theory wrong. Faust obviously has no understanding of the original language's use of "litotes" in several key verses he uses to prove his errant teachings on the "second death" and the "book of life". This tome is okay for research only and NOT recommended for any overcomer's life application as it is full of re-hashed, fundamentalistic, fear-mongering, fire-n-brimstone ideals mixed in with -- and thus infecting the simple purity of the overcomer teachings! We need less fear here brother and more pure love for Christ, the firstborn of many brethren, who choose to suffer and thus co-reign with Him. Perfect love casts out fear . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking and intelligent.
My husband and I read this over a year ago and we are STILL talking about it. It's scripture, plain and simple, presented logically, rationally, and supported with plenty of historically relevant, contextual voices weighing in on the teaching. If you've primarily focused on heaven and sort of not paid much attention to learning more about the millennial reign of Christ or the coming Judgment, then this will help you tremendously to not only put this life into far more rational perspective, but to take it much more seriously. And we are KJV, indy Baptist missionaries, as serious as you can get when it comes to the Bible! You'd think we would know it all, but the fact is that the impact of these scriptures on my own life has been transformative. I am so, so grateful to have stumbled upon this little book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a history of the doctrine, but an interpretation
What is disappointing about this book is that it is not a history of the doctrine of kingdom exclusion, but rather an interpretation of history that somehow supports Faust's theory about the end of the ages. It's also poorly written. First, the book is more an outline than a finished product. Second, Faust quotes so many authors, there's very little of his own thought in the book. His treatment of his source material is vulgar. If someone in history mentions the millennial kingdom, he simply assumes that person believed everything he presents in the book. Some of the people he cites were advocates of purgatory, a thing Faust regards as heresy. On that note, his chapter on purgatory is frankly imbecilic. None of his references are drawn from Catholic sources. That would be important, wouldn't it, if one were writing about someone else's religious beliefs? One wonders if Faust has any grasp of the doctrine of purgatory. Ironically, his principal objection to the Catholic doctrine is that purgatory is a "place." In the succeeding chapters, he then goes on to describe exactly where kingdom exclusion takes place.
Faust's approach is to present his own ideas in the guise of historical research. He does more of the first, and little of the second.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eye Opening Subject Matter
Upon first hearing this doctrine of the Judgement Seat of Christ or Kingdom Doctrine, I was amazed and excited for how the Word of God came alive for me. Upon reading this book I was looking to learn more about the doctrine to fully understand what the Bible says about our accountability as Christians. There is such a wealth of information in this book and it was surprising to see how many quotes he had from Christian forefathers supporting his interpretation of scripture. The book was a bit cumbersome. It was not an easy read but more of a scholarly read for deep study or Pastors. I tried to share the book with family and it was not well received mostly because it was not concise and to the point, but rather focused much on details and evidence. So I liked the book and got valuable insights from it that will forever change my Christian walk, but I would love to see the author do a simpler version of the book that just outlines the doctrine and supports in with scripture.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heretical teachings from a false teacher!
This book is full heretical doctrine. Joey uses a few proof text to reinterpret the whole bible and the doctrine of the judgment seat of Christ. Herb Evans has written great doctrinaly sound review of the heretical teachings of this book. The fruit of this teaching is destroying many churches and causing unnecessary confusion. Someone joined our church from Joey's church and tried to split our church over this false teaching. Please research Herb Evans reviews.
