| 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. |

| Jekyll and Hyde is Petra's 20th studio record. Petra's founder Bob Hartman has re-joined the group for what is arguably their most aggressive rock record to date. Jekyll and Hyde is produced by Newsboy's frontman Peter Furler. In addition to his role as producer, Furler adds his signature drumming to the collection of straight-ahead rock tracks. "It seems odd to say that this record is our most aggressive rock record so far," states Petra lead singer John Schlitt. "For years, our fans have been asking for an all-out rock and roll record. Jekyll and Hyde is just that, and we think it will have been worth the wait." Hartman adds, "It may have been a few years since I've been an active part of Petra, but my heart has never left. I'm more excited about this project than anything else I've done and I can't wait for people to hear it." |
