Michael James Reed gives all glory to the Lord in this passionate plea to all people of his former religion, Roman Catholicism, to come to the knowledge of GodaEUR(tm)s Word over what he demonstrates is the word of men, Roman catechism. Although Michael targets Roman Catholics, Come Out of Her, My People is truly essential reading for Evangelicals as well due to its wealth of biblical information and doctrinal insight. The Protestant churches of the world have been beguiled into accepting many of RomeaEUR(tm)s errors, and Come Out is a stark reminder to all who consider themselves biblical to not be unequally yoked to such an institution. Ultimately, Michael has done a masterful job of lifting the veil of Christianity that the pagan church of Rome has been hiding under since the Edict of Milan in AD 313. He has also exposed one of RomeaEUR(tm)s leading apologists, Karl Keating, as a false teacher who gave demonstrably false information to his readers in order to lead them away from biblical truth. Furthermore, MichaelaEUR(tm)s stunning, new revelations of Mystery Babylon give new light to that false end-time church all Christians should be aware of. Michael asks all Roman Catholics to search the Scriptures for themselves in order to truly know their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. For the name of Jesus is above every other name and the only name by which we are to be saved. From the man or woman on the street to the most highly esteemed theologian, all who read this book will come away with at least some new knowledge of God. Michael has put his heart into this work to bring the knowledge of Jesus Christ to his people, Roman Catholics, and warn them of the road on which they are traveling.
