Financial scandal. Fault theology. Moral failure.

Its time for a Holy Ghost housecleaning.

As editor of Charisma magazine for more than ten years, J. Lee Grady kept his finger on the pulse of the charismatic and Pentecostal movements. Though an avid proponent of the charismatic experience, he has observed trends that both distress and anger him. And now he is overturning the money tables.

With extraordinary insight and godly discernment, Grady exposes the problems and scandals that plague todays churches and ministries including abuse, showmanship, manipulation and infatuation with prosperity.

Yet his message is not one of condemnation and finger-pointing. Instead Grady challenges all who call themselves Spirit-empowered Christians to return to their biblical roots and restore boldness, integrity and humility to charismatic spirituality. He longs to see the Church purified and believers everywhere ignited with the genuine fire of Gods Spirit for true spiritual renewal.

I could not put this book down. It is compulsive reading. This book could be a turning point for the charismatic movement.

Dr. R. T. Kendall, former minister, Westminster Chapel (London); author

What a powerful, convicting book! You must read it. Lee courageously exposes the carnality of American Christians and discloses how crippled the Church has become. May God help us become women and men of integrity, humility and purity.

Premature responsibility breeds superficiality. In this book, Lee boldly points out that too many of Americas pulpits are filled with ministers who are unbroken, power-hungry and who serve at the altar of self. They turn a blind eye to the needs of a lost and dying world to engage in Hollywood-style religion, which too often includes perversion, adultery, greed and lies.

Alice Smith, Executive Director, U.S. Prayer Center (Houston, TX)

This is a must-read for anyone passionate about a genuine, Pentecostal relationship with God.

Dr. Ronald W. Carpenter Sr., presiding bishop, International Pentecostal Holiness Church

J. Lee Grady is fearlessly sounding the alarm. He exposes sins in the Church and reveals the pathway to true repentance and a lifestyle of holiness. It is my prayer that everyone who reads will awaken to righteousness and ask the Holy Spirit to rekindle the fire of love for God within them. Only then will He send the fires of revival and bring healing to our land.

Germaine Copeland, President, Word Ministries, Inc.; Author

No more discerning voice speaks with such clarity and compassion as Lee Gradys. Todays Church needs not only to hear but to heed the wisdom set forth in this book.

Jack Hayford, chancellor, The Kings College and Seminary; founding pastor, The Church On The Way (Van Nuys, CA)

This book should be in every believers library! Grady trumpets a clarion call to the Body of Christ for a return to godly living and biblical ethics. He speaks with boldness and courage to expose abuse, manipulation and charlatan practices operating in churches and ministries today. The Holy Spirit Is Not for Sale will cause you to contend for a fresh move of Gods Spirit. I highly recommend this powerful and timely book!

Barbara Wentroble, President, International Breakthrough Ministries; Author
