They always manage to knock on your door at the worst possible times. It's difficult to talk to Jehovah's Witnesses because they test your Bible knowledge and spiritual endurance. But the effort is worth it, because they need to hear the gospel from you. Reed, a former JW elder, closely examines the Jehovah's Witnesses' favorite Bible verses and discusses other important verses they ignore.

This book presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ in simple terms for nonbelievers and new believers -- while also challenging long-time churchgoers to re-examine their relationship with the Son of God. Jesus says, "Come, follow me." (Luke 18:22) "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) In today's world we find many confused, distorted and watered-down teachings on what it means to be a follower of Jesus. People are urged to 'receive Christ' or 'accept Jesus as Lord and Savior' without a biblical understanding of what that involves. Some teachers stress Jesus' role as the Savior who forgives, without spelling out His role as the Lord whom we must obey. Many churches today are like those in the opening chapters of Revelation that Jesus told to "Repent, or else... " This highlights the need for each individual to look to Jesus and the Scriptures for direction, rather than just passively listen to whatever is said from the pulpit. This book presents the invitation to "Come, follow Jesus " in strictly biblical terms, by quoting Scripture passages and by presenting them with minimal comment or discussion. After all, it is in the Bible that we find Jesus inviting us to follow him. And along with that invitation, He spells out how we should go about doing so. "Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'" (Matthew 28:18-20) DAVID A. REED is the author of more than a dozen Christian books, including "Mormons Answered Verse by Verse" and the popular "Jehovah's Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse."

Each year thousands of husbands, wives, sons and daughters are converted by Jehovah's Witnesses through their so-called free home Bible study. This book tells exactly what to do to rescue them from the JWs. The main point to remember when a loved one first starts getting involved with Jehovah's Witnesses is to avoid delay. But, unless you are thoroughly versed on the Watchtower Society and well trained as a debater, the JWs will shoot you down on every point. This book helps you: (1) Plan your strategy and learn techniques that work. (2) Collect convincing evidence. (3) Present your material in the proper manner at the appropriate time. (4) Become familiar with the tools you'll need. An unusual and valuable feature is the inclusion of pages from Watchtower publications which demonstrate falsehoods and inconsistencies in Jehovah's Witness doctrine. DAVID A. REED spent 13 years as an active Jehovah's Witness, serving as an elder and as the JW equivalent of a local pastor. Reading the Bible itself led him to Christ. He has authored more than a dozen books, including Answering Jehovah's Witnesses Subject by Subject and the popular Jehovah's Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse. His web sites on this topic include www.AnswerJW.com and www.CFTF.com.

Teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses and how they differ from historic Christianity are documented in this study of Watchtower publications from 1879 to 1989.
