Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Faith's Greatest Enemies
Frederick K. Price · 1994
56/100
👎 Skip It
Frederick Price writes directly and draws heavily from Scripture, which readers in Word of Faith circles will find grounding and practical. Outside that tradition, the prosperity-gospel theological framework that underpins the book's treatment of doubt and unanswered prayer is a significant concern — the book does not engage seriously with suffering that persists despite faith, which limits its usefulness for many believers. Short, accessible, but theologically narrow.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: theology: Word of Faith / prosperity-gospel framework — mainstream and Reformed readers should note doctrinal concerns. We still scored it 56; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
