When I first read this manuscript I cannot begin to tell you how excited I was! As I devoured its thoughts I realized it was a book filled with material that historicized a touchy subject matter that has divided fundamentalists in the past and has resurrected its ugly head in the present. … If you possess a pensive spirit on this issue of the King James Bible controversy, please take the time to read this book!

Bro. Johnny Esposito’s Book on this vital subject of the absolute authority of the King James Bible is not only timely and needed, it is well documented concerning those who support the correct position that the KJB is the inspired, preserved Word of God for us in the English language today. … The section on the “slippery slope” of varying from that position is worth the cost of the book.

I believe that one of the best kept secrets in fundamentalism is Bro. Johnny Esposito. His books are always easy to read, thought provoking, and right on target. This book is no exception! The information given is priceless. It is well laid out and will be used as a reference to defend the King James Bible for many years. This is not a book that you must wade through all the information to get the point. It is practical, helpful, and easy to read. Every Christian should own and read this book! … It will make your stand for the King James Bible stronger as you read its pages. I highly recommend this book and its author.

Some may ask, “Why this book?” … The answer sits in our homes, our Christian schools, and our youth groups, that is, the next generation—our children. It speaks to the issue of the next generation and in what DIRECTION we will lead them and what we will leave with them. “DIRECTION” is an all important word in regards to determining what we will leave our children and grandchildren tomorrow. My brother not only exposes the error of our brothers in Christ in regards to their position on the King James Bible, but equally as important… the DIRECTION in which they are heading and where it will lead the next generation.

I have just read the manuscript of the book Destroying our Foundation, A Plea for Common Sense. What a grief it is to my heart to think that a resurgence of the “Yea, Hath God Said Club” has sprung up among independent, fundamental Baptist. I agree with Brother Esposito’s premise that the renewed attack on the authority of the King James Bible will most likely have grave consequences on our independent Baptist movement and probably on our beloved country as well. … Bro. Esposito has found the right balance of passion for a worthy cause, restraint in an emotionally charged debate, and unimpeachable documentation to more than prove his premise. As I read, I was stirred, burdened, and recharged in my belief in the King James Bible as the inspired, preserved, and inerrant Word of the Living God.

I recommend this book to be read by all. I appreciate the scholarly research, the sacrificial effort, and the Christ-like spirit Brother Esposito has displayed in authoring this must-read book. Because of many questions from the good members of our church, I was challenged to give answers concerning God’s Final Authority. … The Lord has used this book to bring help to this Pastor and our people.

God is not the author of confusion. Confusion has reared its ugly head in our ranks concerning the Word of God … Bro. Esposito’s plea for common sense concerning our King James Bible is clear, concise, compassionate, and without a critical spirit. Settle this matter in your heart once and for all. Read this book and get a copy in the hands of someone else.

God is not the author of confusion. Confusion has As Brother Esposito charges us in this book, “It will be the next generation of churches and Christians that will suffer the consequences tomorrow because of our unwillingness to stand today.” … Heaven help us to read and heed Brother Esposito’s cry to get back to some common sense and stand for the inspiration and preservation of the old King James Bible!

This book is a must read! I like everyone else dreaded to see this issue coming again. In fact, like many I wanted to deny that I was hearing what I thought I was hearing. However, we face another battle regarding our beloved Bible – the King James Bible. After you read this book, you will know that this newest battle is not an issue of semantics. … Brother Esposito takes a very kind but straightforward stand for the word of God. We owe a great debt to those who have been used of the Lord to take a stand for our King James Bible. … We cannot dip our sails, we cannot change our colors, we cannot compromise by staying silent. We must in our generation stand for the Word of God for our generation. Will we be the generation that allows the seeds of doubt about God’s Word to be sown among Fundamentalism? We should not. We cannot! … Well, dear friend, today is our turn and Brother Esposito has taken his stand in this good book. As you read this book I pray that the “good fight of faith” will increase in your hearts!
