A compelling and deeply personal account of a young man's
spiritual plunge into a movement called the "River."
Sometimes referred to as the River Revival, the Third Wave
or the Latter Rain, this movement is marked by bizarre manifestations,
false prophecies and esoteric revelations. Warnings of divine
retribution hold many adherents in a bondage of fear, making
them afraid to speak out or even question those things they
are taught and are witness to.
In
a biographical setting, The Other Side of the River,
is a powerful and needed warning to the body of Christ.
In a day and age when church-growth techniques mixed with
mystical practices are leaving a wreckage of human lives
littered with the debris of false doctrine. For Kevin Reeves,
his determination to rescue his family came to the forefront,
even if the cost was high and even if he had to stand alone.
His journey back into the freedom and simplicity of Jesus
Christ would be worth the price.
There is a major movement sweeping through the Church. Billing
itself as the "River," it promises an incoming tide
of blessing but leaves in its wake tsunami-like devastation.
Marked by false prophecies, unbiblical manifestations, cult-like
teachings and authority structure, this movement has wooed
a generation of unwary believers and led them into a substitute
spirituality. The Word of God has been placed on the back
burner and personal experience reigns supreme. A host of unscriptural
visions and ecstatic utterances have paved the way for a radical
departure from the apostolic Christianity of the early Church.
In this personal account, Kevin Reeves explores the inner
workings of this worldwide phenomenon.

Saying About
The Other Side of the River
This book is a "must read" for anyone who
has come to their senses within an apostate church and wondered
what to do and how to do it. The Bible is clear that we
are to mark and avoid false teachers (Rom. 16:17) and separate
ourselves from those involved in sin (1 Cor. 6:17) while
continuing to pray for them. But the issue of rejecting
heresy and false prophesy becomes a matter of personal fortitude
and deep emotional hurts when it involves close friends
who have been brainwashed by "the river." Sandy Simpson, Deception
