Summary: A Good Resource
Review: Linda Drake's review of August 2nd, is more biased than the book she claims to have read and is commenting on. Kingdom of the Cults is well researched and easy to use. Ravi Zacharias is the perfect choice to re-edit the material in this volume. The late Dr. Walter Martin took great care in researching and documenting the material he originally prepared for the first edition of this classic work. On his website you can read about people who were saved form the cults he writes about.
This book is very valuable and worth the price.

Summary: Some Heresies Protected
Review: Martin ignores and gives a free pass to Roman Catholicism and Freemasonry. What a travesty not to call out Catholics out of that pagan religion with christian names that has a history of Massacres against true christians Read Will Durants "Story Of Civilization," Dave Hunts "A Women Rides The Beast," and "History of Protestantism," by J.A. Wylie. Masonry is nothing but a Satanic organization but you wont know that until you reach the 30th degree or higher Read Albert Pikes "Morals And Dogma." and William Schoenbelen's "Masonry Beyond The Light." Martin and his predecessor Hank Hanagraff have ignored the most dangerous cults and spent so much time on blatantly ridiculuous cults such as Scientology , Bahai. What do you expect from someone who has a friend who is a Jesuit priest, Although Martin has already been judged by his works. (...)

Summary: Inaccurate resource
Review: That this book is still being used as a resource for accurate information on "cults" is unfortunate. Skewed to promote the fundamentalist Christian perspective, "Kingdom of the Cults" uses divisive, charged language to accomplish its purpose. Information presented is blatantly biased, based on inaccurate research and incorrect information. It is an inappropriate resource for those seeking correct information on the thoughtful religions it attempts to explain.

Summary: excellent expose'
Review: This is an excellent expose' of the more popular cults of today. If you're interested in learning the history of various cults and how their teachings relate to the Bible, then do yourself a favor and pick this up. It is definitely intended for the Christian reader so it's sure to offend those that hold the view that Christianity is not the one true faith or those that are involved in any of the cults mentioned. I assume that those that have given this book negative reviews probably fall into one, if not both, of those categories. Unfortunately, they continue to blind themselves to truth.I do suggest that, after reading this book, the reader should do his/her own research into the validity of Matin's claims. Especially in the case of each cults' "history." I think you'll find that he "hits the nail on the head." The facts he gives are irrefutable although the cult revisionists still fail to see past their own blind obedience brought about by ignorance. For example, if most Mormons would actually do their own research into their "religion," they would find so many ridiculous errors in their own "theology" that they would surely denounce their "faith." But alas, they choose to blindly follow the leadership of their "prophets" instead. Even the negative reviewers here that have tried to come up with rebuttals to what is mentioned in this book fall short of the necessary evidence to refute the facts mentioned within (trust me, I've read them all). Anyway, this is an excellent book for any Christian to purchase and one worthy to keep on your bookshelf as a valuable resource that you'll return to again and again.
