John Warwick Montgomery beautifully highlights how modern psychiatric treatment has lost its mind!

Dr. Montgomery' s latest book is a fresh movement of the Spirit of...

No one is against human rights. It is obviously a good thing-until one starts to think about the meaning of the term and its implications. Then it shows itself to be an idea that polarizes, encouraging uncritical support and also extreme reaction from both secularists and religionists. John Warwick Montgomery, who is both a lawyer and a theologian, is uniquely qualified to address the question of human rights. In clear, easily understood language,...
