Protect the consumer. Stop the schemes and ripoffs. Make the law work for the little guy. All easier said than done.... Memoirs and case studies on fraud and consumer protection from a lawyer who helped start New York City's first consumer watchdog agency. Schrag came into office expecting to initiate a new system, which would at last defend the powerless consumer. Instead, he discovered how both petty criminals and big corporations are able to use the law, the courts, and the general feeling favoring the status quo to delay and blunt any attacks made upon them. The book tells the fascinating and amusing story of how Schrag's young lawyers and investigators became disillusioned by observing the gap between the promise of the legal system and its actual performance -- and how, in reaction, they invented unprecedented methods of consumer protection, some of which cause Schrag himself to question their ethical propriety. Enjoyable as the stories are, their purpose is to raise serious and basic questions about our legal process and its ability to secure consumer justice, or even "law and order." This book is a unique demonstration of a rare ability to report true crime as it occurs in everyday life. It is a witty and perceptive analysis of the actual working of our government and our courts.

This book is written to fulfill a two-fold purpose: First, to expose the spirit of deception and its companions-denial, betrayal and seduction and revealing how they creep into the lives of a large majority of single women, surrounded by secrecy, perversion and greed and cleverly hidden behind lust and seduction. Secondly, to sound the clarion call, especially to those within the faith that there is a demonically inspired and crafty spirit lurking in the shadows waiting and plotting to attack any woman open to its ploys, whose goal is to destroy their God ordained purpose and curtail their destiny. I believe that as you read this book, understanding that deception works using lust to perform what appears to be true love, but beyond the veil of denial, there is a counterfeit monster of deception. My prayers are that as you read and pray you won't fall to its prey.

Does the Bible allow us to deceive? Is it ever right to lie? These are perennial questions that have been discussed and debated by theologians for centuries with little consensus. Entering this conversation, Just Deceivers provides a fresh analysis of this important topic through a comprehensive examination of the motif of deception in the books of Samuel. While many studies have explored deception in other Old Testament texts--especially the patriarchal narratives of Genesis--and a few articles have initiated examination of this motif in Samuel, Just Deceivers builds upon this groundwork and offers an exhaustive treatment of this theme in this important portion of the Hebrew Bible. Newkirk takes the reader through the books of Samuel, investigating every occurrence of deception in the narrative, exploring how the author depicts these various acts of deception, and then synthesizing the results to offer an exegetically based theology of deception. In so doing, this study both challenges commonly held views concerning the Bible's stance on falsehood and illustrates the importance of attending to the sophisticated literary character of biblical narrative.

Jesus warned the disciples: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Matthew 7:15.) His words are appropriate for today and an old proverb has its place: 'Those who are forewarned are forearmed.' Based on the authority of Scripture, the purpose of this work is to reveal the deception which is lurking behind the Christian facade. We must proclaim the full truth; the whole counsel of God, because He has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Certain questionable things must be brought under the searchlight of the powerful Word of God, and certain neglected truths must be held up to the light of the Holy Spirit. This book aims to draw attention to Christ's greatest accomplishments, and to God's sovereignty. We have the authority of Scripture and it is our duty to expose deception. Hopefully many will take up this much needed ministry.

Demonstrates the "why" and the "how" of consistently biblical, gospel-centric counseling, whether in the pastor's study or over coffee with a friend. With the evermore apparent failure of modern psychotherapies and a discomfort with pharmacological strategies, many churches are reaffirming the sufficiency and power of the Scriptures to change lives. To aid churches in ministering to broken and hurting people, the authors of Counsel from the Cross present a counseling model based on Scripture, powered by the work of the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus Christ. Through careful exegesis and helpful case studies, they demonstrate the "why" and the "how" of consistently biblical, gospel-centered counseling. The authors' combined backgrounds-one, a woman trained in biblical counseling and the other, a male professor of practical theology-bring balance to this work, making it relevant for those who counsel as part of pastoral ministry and for those involved in friendship mentoring or discipleship.
