Counterfeit Harvest
A Confessional Lutheran Field Guide to the Remnant Cults
Mormons at the door. A Jehovah’s Witness with a Watchtower. A friend who has drifted into something that still uses the word “Jesus” but means something else by it. Most Christians meet the remnant cults unprepared — not because the answers are hard, but because no one ever laid them out plainly.
Counterfeit Harvest is a field guide. It takes the groups that grew up on the edges of American Christianity one at a time — where each came from, what it actually teaches, and the precise point at which it departs from the faith once delivered to the saints. The aim is not to win arguments but to recognize a counterfeit by knowing the genuine article well.
Written for lay Christians who want to understand their neighbors and answer them with both clarity and charity, this is confessional Lutheran discernment for the doorstep and the kitchen table — law and gospel kept straight, the real harvest told apart from the false.
