I became a nominal Christian in a charismatic church in the late 80s and gained a good deal of Biblically sound teaching, but did not know Christ. I drifted into New Age groups and was leading a 50-member "Spiritual Center" and attending Course in Miracles study group, etc. when I was blessed with "The Seduction of Christianity." I found my way to our Saviour through the eye-opening of that book. God bless Dave Hunt, whom I never got to meet but whose voice is more familiar to me than many in my own family! What a life that can be celebrated.

This book changed my life. Dave Hunt made everything so clear, and after that book, I read almost all of his writings and I still use his The Berean Call actively. I have been amazed at watching some of his debates with Catholics, praying for this man's ministry and for the Catholics he has debated, who were unable to answer him nor defend their stance. Dave Hunt loved the Lord and his humility was EVIDENT in everything he said and did. I know he has heard, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." May God bless those who were his family and those who worked with him who are alive.

Hi Ruth! So sorry to hear of your (TEMPORARY) loss, but know that Dave is happy and healthy and looks forward to seeing you again! In the meantime, I have a few recollections, mainly going back to various prophecy conferences I attended, where he was one of the speakers. As you know, Dave was NOT shy when it came to saying what had to be said. If he had any trepidations about 'offending', he screwed up his courage, put those lesser concerns aside and did what NEEDED to be done! He will be rewarded for that! One conference...2004, I think it was, he was getting under my skin when he would go on about John McArthur. At the time, I didn't know about the odious doctrine of Calvinism, so I tuned Dave out for a while. Then I found out what he was referring to and I tuned in to find out more. It was an indescribable relief to know that I wasn't the only person who took the same view. Better, Dave expounded on the issue and gave anti-calvinists practical weapons to use. (WHAT LOVE IS THIS?) How wild! I came to this site to order the book!

Dave Hunt's book The Seduction of Christianity, put into the words that I need to explain the battle I was having in trying to share with others what was wrong in the church and in the lives of many Christians around us at the time.. It seemed that he was the only brave one to call it as it was. ... Not of God.... it is a Seduction... then it gave me courage to repeat the warnings despite the religious stone coming my way.

I first learned of Dave Hunt while watching the old Jimmy Swaggart series on television. As a relatively new Christian I tended to accept everyone or any teaching that claimed to have or be Christian truth. I purchased Dave's book which opened my eyes to the false teachings and I am so grateful to him for that. Those false teachings were harmful to me, affecting my emotional health. I wish I could have thanked Dave personally. Among his rewards in Heaven will be for steering folks like me in the right direction, I'm sure. He will be missed.

Dave Hunt's books have been so invaluable in my walk with the Lord. I believe he is a true man of God and we are very blessed to have him still writing and teaching. He confirmed to me the new age had been making headway in the church that my family and I became members of in 1981. We left in 1986 because after leaving the Catholic church, where I was raised I said I would never be a part of a false church again.This was an AOG church and I started my journey of exposing Deceit when the Holy Spirit shows me. At first I felt I was looking for trouble and false teaching and thought maybe the problem was me but then Dave's book came out called Peace, Prosperity, and the Coming Holocaust, and I knew that there must be others who were trying to wake their Christian brothers and sisters up. I always look for Mr. Hunt to come to Chicago, but I guess he isn't well received by most of our apostate churches. But I want him to know that the Lord has used him in my life and walk and I am so grateful for his obedience to Jesus as persecution does follow that kind of courage. We are SIsters and Brothers in the Lord and Praise God we have each other and what a glorious day we look to when Jesus comes to rapture His Bride To Heaven!  May the Lord continue to bless you, Dave Hunt, and shine the light of truth for those who really want The Truth.

Dear Friends, In the 1980s it seemed everyone was reading this book ( The Seduction Of Christianity) by ( Hunt & McMahon) , I was a young Christian and when it was handed to me, I was so surprised about all the information I needed to know about so many things. I know the Lord will at times excuse some of the younger Christians, but when the truth is shown we are to study and examine it. May I say in deep gratitude and faithfulness of his many writings, he has educated and even turned many from the errors of our day concerning the truth in scripture and false traps. He's home now and with the One who has given him courage and insight! Bless and may the Lord now comfort all who shared his life and dedication, till his work was done. Thank You Lord! Lori Giesbrecht

Dave Hunt was certainly a man of God. I have learned a lot from him and I'm sure I will continue to learn from him with his archives of Search the Scriptures Daily. He will be sadly missed I'm sure from so many. I have such a sadness in my heart of his passing and yet I have such joy in my heart knowing he is right now with our Lord Jesus our God. My Prayers go out to his family that they will have peace knowing where he is. God Bless

Having opened up my system this morning to this news brought an overwhelming sense of sadness and loss - and I never met or had any close communication with Dave Hunt, but such was his influence in my life that I felt as though I had just lost a close personal friend. We have just lost a true leader whose words and insights were inspiring and encouraging. In a World increasingly concerned with marketing a Christian faith, and popularity gained from perverting the message to suit the times, it is hard for an individual to restate the absolute truths from the Bible that conflict with these views expressed by all the wolves in sheep's clothing. Dave was almost 'Paulesque' in his convictions and willingness to stand and repeat the truths as they are written in the face of all of the above. There are just too few Dave Hunts in this World today and we surely need every one of them. One can only imagine the welcome he received from his Saviour.

As a former Catholic I remember both reading and watching A Woman Rides the Beast, and during that time the Lord stirred up in me a desire to investigate further into the claims of the Catholic Church, and the long and short of it is that with 24 months I gave up the faith that I once held dearly. Today I love the Lord than anytime before, I am natively from India, but residing here in United Arab Emirates as an expatriate, and continue to be a witness here as the Lord uses me. My prayers go out to his family, particularly is wife Ruth. I hope and pray his ministry will continue his legacy. Your Brother in Christ, Hamilton

I was very confused over a lot of strange doctrines and could not understand why someone could not do something about it. Then I read Seduction of Christianity and things seemed to be put in proper perspective. I have read several of Dave Hunt's books and believe I have been taught in each of them by a man of God. I thank God for the ministry of Dave Hunt.

I came to learn about Dave Hunt in a most unusual way. I was attending various fellowships that were involved in the prosperity gospel and was getting really concerned in what was happening. At that time my wife and I went thru a very difficult time financially in as much that we lost just about everything because of a recession that the then Prime minster at the time claimed, we had to have. I lost my business and we lost our home, car and some more. However the prosperity gospel did not delivere what it promised, and things just got worse. However I never lost my faith in the Lord and kept studying the Bible. Of course there were many a day that I just wanted to give up and end it all but somehow I kept hanging in there. I often used to visit a Christian book shop to see if I could find something that could be of any help. I was browsing around not quite knowing what to look for when I accidentally knocked the shelf and a book fell out on to the floor. It was "The Seduction of Christianity" ! I read the back cover and the intro and bought it straight away. It really made me look at my relationship with the Lord in a new way and I got on my knees and thanked Him. I then bought almost every book Dave Hunt published except his last one but will do so soon. I also went to go see Dave Hunt when he came to Australia at his last visit here and I constantly listen to his and Dave McMahon's radio shows. I learned a lot from this most remarkable man of God and Psalm:116:15 says it all.

In 1986, a brother in Christ told me about this new book he was reading called The Seduction of Christianity by Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon. He told me that I needed to purchase a copy and read it. I purchased the book at a Bible Bookstore (something you can't do now) and began to read it. To make a long story short, the Lord used that book to open my eyes to the heresy of the 12-step program I was involved in and to state (using Scripture) that alcoholism was not a "disease", but a SIN. The Lord delivered me from that heresy before I even finished reading the book. I started receiving newsletters from the Christian Information Bureau (before Dave and Tom moved to Bend,OR and started the Berean Call in 1992). I have in my possession (in a 3 ring, 4" binder) all the TBC newsletters from 1992 until TBC stopped mailing them and started the email newsletter ministry. I must have over 150 TBC Newsletters. I also have on my bookshelf about 75% of Dave's books. Brother Dave has been a tremendous inspiration and I praise God for his faithfulness to our Lord Jesus and the truth of God's Word, once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 3). He will be greatly missed. Our prayers go to his wife Ruth and the Hunt family, T. A. McMahon and the Berean Call ministry. Keep on keeping on. In Christ Jesus, Linda Robey

One of Dave's best books is the one book I will give to people after I have given them a Bible. When will Jesus Come? One thing I like about Hunt's writings is they always inspired you for two important reasons. One, he always gave you a Bible believer's view on any subject. Two, he had a great talent for writing. I have heard Brother Dave speak many times. He was a loving man because he loved the Word of God most of all. He rarely speculated in grand ways about prophecy, which is rare among prophecy writers. Out of all the books he wrote, I remember seeing him speculate on two occasions. I later checked out his opinions, and he was right. What he seldom speculated on came true. One last comment on Dave's character, HE GAVE GOD THE GLORY.

I was browsing through books in a Christian book shop in Cape Town (at that time I lived there) and found this book "The Seduction of Christianity". I had never heard of Dave Hunt but the title fascinated me. What a blessing this book was to me!! It was as though the Lord Himself spoke to me through the pages about all the false teachings etc, and quite frankly, I couldn't agree more. I went on to buy most of Dave's books and also had the privilege of hearing him speak in person at a church in Durban, about 1996/7 ( can't remember exactly the year). His direct but loving approach has always been a source of blessing to me, and his knowledge was immense on all sorts of various subjects. Having come out of New Age teachings, "Occult Invasion" was brilliant. "A Woman Rides the Beast" is still one of my favourites, and I am sold on eschatological teachings. I know Jesus is coming back soon for His Bride, and I cannot wait. I look forward to seeing Dave again on that Glorious day, and getting the opportunity to thank him for his passion, drive and courage to bring the truth out at a time when the church is falling badly into apostasy. May his wife and family find comfort in the arms of Jesus until the day we are all re-united with our Lord.

I first met Dave in 1992(???) when filming him for the Bethel Communications video 'Cup of Trembling - countdown to Armageddon,' when he spoke eloquently and articulately about Jerusalem and her place in the world - and in God's timetable. We were able to laugh a lot in the midst of the seriousness of our discussions as we talked about finding his Scottish roots. I remember he appeared on that film with Chuck Missler, Roger Oakland, Gary Kah, and lots of other experts in their subjects as we worked to prove that the Bible was true through apologetics and prophecy... I have used his books to lead several people closer to The Truth - from a friend at Word of Faith Bible College in Sweden to another who was moving closer to Roman Catholicism to three others who followed The 2 Kenneths...Each one of whom is now a close sister or brother. You only had to hand the book over (Seduction and Beyond Seduction being prime examples) and Dave's writing and the work of the Holy Spirit did the rest. Dear Dave will now be able to argue over the timing of the rapture with our other good friend Barry Smith (mid trib) - I remember Barry telling me that Dave told him he'd be waiting when he got there..although it was the other way round as Barry got there first... I look forward to catching up one day. He was a blessing and a delight.

Never shall I forget meeting Dave Hunt for the first time in Raleigh, NC. approximately eight years ago. He so graciously went out of his way to speak at two Memorial services for my beloved husband, Donald; who like Mr. Hunt, was a strong contender for the Faith. How delighted I am to have his two memorial messages on record. I listen to them frequently. It was a joy and may I quickly add, a tremendous honor to have one of God's choice and faithful servants in my home. Mrs. Hunt, time is NOT a great healer, but our dear Heavenly Father is going to comfort and sustain you as no earthly friend can. Best of all, the separation is only for a little while - and then it will be "Forever with the Lord." My deep love and sympathy accompany these few words. One with you, waiting for the sound of the trumpet, Patricia Maconaghie

I had been reading many of Dave Hunt's books and was so happy that he was speaking in Pensacola at a conference. I really appreciated his forthrightness. He wasn't afraid to speak the truth boldly. I read so many of his books, it is hard to remember a favorite, but one I remember well was A Woman Rides The Beast, about end times. My husband and I both enjoyed his ministry for many years. I know he is happy to be with his Lord Jesus tonight.

Grace and peace to you, dear brothers and sisters in Messiah. I rejoice with you that Dave is now with Jesus, but I want to express deep condolences for family and friends who now must continue on, this side of Glory. May the Lord comfort you now, and in the days ahead, with His everlasting lovingkindness and His tender compassions and overwhelming comfort. My name is Jason, and I was so blessed to meet Dave at an Israel/Prophecy Conference years back at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, perhaps circa 2006. We talked for maybe ten minutes or so, and he was kind and very interested to know about the mission work the Lord had me involved in. I was serving in Beslan, Russia, after the horrific 2004 school terrorist attack, when muslim terrorists attacked a school and held over 1,000 people hostage for three days; more than 330 died, most of whom were children. Dave shared about how he had lived in Russia, and he was very interested in what the Lord was using me in and so forth. You have to understand, I am not as familiar with him as many of you are - I'm 36, and so I guess I've caught just some of his latter ministry, but I know that my father has great respect for him. And so, on that day I asked Dave if he would sign a book of his for my dad which I had bought there, he did, and then if memory serves correctly, Dave then gave me a free copy of the book. Some time later, I received a check for $100 towards the ministry and a nice note, which I believe Ruth wrote. I was amazed then, and still am. You see, I'm just a simple person in the body - I don't have any degree, nor do I have some huge established/recognized ministry. My local fellowship and others have generously supported, but relatively speaking, I'm pretty much a small person. So for me, to have someone like our brother Dave - a giant in apologetics and so forth - and his wife send ME a large donation... wow, I was deeply grateful, and remain the same. He was big enough to be featured at conferences and to write numerous books - and yet, humble and loving enough to send a large gift to someone more or less like a kid out there just wanting to serve Jesus. O Great God of ours, thank You for sharing Your friend Dave with us! We are glad He is now with You, and yet, we are sad as we are now witout him down here. Your wisdom is perfect. We only ask that as You have called him Home, You might please send us seven more people with love and passion for You seven times what Dave had. God, the days are dark, and we need godly men in our midst. Thank You for sharing Dave with us, and please send forth more workers into Your harvest! Dear Hunt family, I love you, and mourn with you at his absence, though I rejoice with you knowing with WHOM he is present, Jason Catizone

I was attending Calvary Chapel in Spokane. I got to work in the duplication room and repoduced the messages that Dave gave. I had friends who contacted me and requested copies of his talks as well. I loved his boldness and it helped me so much. He was a blessing to me and many I know. I'm thankful I got to hear him in person.

My wife, Michele, and I would host Dave at our Bible Skeptics conference outreach meetings in Whitby Canada. After our final meeting in 2008 we experienced a financial meltdown that changed our lives. Dave took a personal interest and would phone us every two weeks for two years for an update on our progress. We felt Dave's prayers in our lives as things got better. He was the ONLY person in our lives at the time that showed concern and was a great encouragement to us during a very difficult time. We have never known a more humble and caring person. We are grateful for Dave's influence in our lives. God Bless you my brother.

In 2008, I gave my heart to to the Lord Jesus Christ. It was at this precise moment that the Lord introduced Dave to me through his DVD "A Woman Rides The Beast." I had just turned 50 yrs of age and had been a Roman Catholic all my life, but I was searching for the truth. Dave provided me with all the answers I had been searching for. He helped to reinforce my decisiuon to be reborn and through my association with The Berean Call, I have been listening to Dave Hunt since. I will be eternally grateful for his divine mentoring and for his evangelical stance. God bless you Dave Hunt, you are finally home with the Lord, in his presence, Alleluia, praise the Lord, Amen

Having come completely unplanned to the US in 1980 (originally from Germany) and having been led to the Lord by a group of young, fiery Jesus lovers, I began listening to Christian Radio and heard Dave one day on Marlin Maddoux' Point of View show. I was immediately impressed with Dave's profound, calm, and convincing way to present biblical truth and his straightforwardness in presenting existing falsenesses in the church. A few weeks later, an apologetics seminar was held in Dallas where Francis Schaeffer, Dave, and other speakers were present. It made a deep impression on me, especially since I was aware of the terrible failure of the Christian Churches in Germany during the Third Reich and the influx of humanistic and Darwinist ideologies in the western world. I had been so deeply influenced by these ideologies and was now incredibly glad to find solid biblical teaching against them. I accompanied Dave after this event to his car, carrying some of his materials for him. He gave me fatherly advice to thoroughly read the Word and always to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit -- the Spirit of Truth -- in my future walk and to follow sound doctrine. I took his advice very much to heart. I listened regularly to his radio programs and read virtually all of his books. Of course, The Berean Call newsletter was always an anxiously expected lecture every month! All of this has helped me a lot not to fall into the many traps of false winds of theology, especially the lies of psychology. It also helped me to warn many people around me, in first place my own immediate family. I am very thankful that I was able to meet and converse with Dave 4 years ago at the second-to-last Bend Conference again. I consider him one of my most important spiritual fathers and feel deeply blessed having been influenced by his life, his devotion to the Lord, and his unbending stand for truth. I love him a lot and rejoice that he has made safely it into the arms of Jesus.

I first heard Brother Dave Hunt on a Christian TV program in about 1982. I was being influenced by "motivational training," and the things I heard Dave say just struck me as true and changed my thinking because of the word of God. The Lord used Dave Hunt's ministry to rescue me first from "motivational training" and "human potential" deceptions, and then later from "Christian activism" and the "Coalition On Revival." It was through this ministry that I learned the importance of following the Lord Jesus alone, and not "gurus," and about comparing EVERYTHING to God's Word as the standard of Truth. I'm also grateful that Dave witnessed to my late sister on a flight in which she was a flight attendant.

One thing that always stood out for me about Dave Hunt was...he always would go back to Scripture and see what God said...no opinion mattered—only thus says the Lord. He taught me years ago to always check everything I hear by the Bible to see if what i hear is in line with God's word. My boys and husband as well learned so much from Dave...God used him in a mighty way. I'm gonna rejoice with Ruth because now Dave had seen his Lord face to face! God bless his family and the Berean call staff!

Wow, Dave, I thought we would be off up there together along with the few remaining believers. You gave and gave. Your last [article that read] today was reviewing "is the .....catholic church a cult?" Amen to that, Dave. Lord, you know why he had to go home at this time. I only ask, Father, please comfort his loving wife with only great memories of their time here together. God blesses you, Mrs Hunt, and I send my joy to you in having considered Dave as a great warrior for truth. 

Immediately when I learned today of Dave's passing, a lump [formed] in my throat and tears welled up in my eyes as I'll miss my older brother in Christ. I recall the first time I met Dave briefly one-on-one when he spoke at a Calvary Chapel church in San Diego. I knew I was in the presence of a grand apologist for Jesus and His Church on earth. Years later, when my wife and I had moved from Southern California to Bend, OR, we were pleasantly surprised to not only learn that The Berean Call was headquartered in this small Central Oregon city, but we fellowshipped in the same small Bible-teaching church. Sitting in a service with Dave and Ruth was indeed a blessing because Dave would always have the right answer or question to ask... or add wisdom and clarity to a message. We will miss Dave Hunt very much. And, we pray for Ruth and the rest of the family and friends as we share in their grief and loss of a truly great man.

I became a Christian in 1985 at the age of 21. My initial exposure to Christianity was through a Church that was a proponent of the "faith movement." I had been a Christian for a little over a year and had been studying other religions and purchased the late Dr Walter Martin's book the kingdom of the cults. I was not aware at the time that the faith movement was also unbiblical. I had heard of Dave's book "The Seduction of Christianity" but had not read it. I was warned by people in my Church saying that reading it would wreck my faith. By God's providence there was someone in my Church that I found reading Seduction, so I asked him, "Is it ruining your faith?" He said, "No, just the opposite. I think a lot of the things we are being taught are wrong, but my faith in God is stronger now than it ever was." I decided to read the book for myself. What an eye opener! It was hard for my pride to allow me to admit that I had been deceived by some of the things Dave mentioned in his book. God used that to help me to lead others out of that movement and to educate other Christians about these destructive teachings. Over the following years I've had the opportunity to meet Dave and hear him speak publicly on at least 5 occasions in the southern California area. I have read Dave's other books and even taught classes from "The Cult Explosion" study guide since then. If Dave Hunt has taught me anything, it is to be a Berean. Dave mentioned it everywhere I heard him speak. He would always say, "To the Law and to the Testimony! If they speak not according to these words, there is no light in them," and "Test all things and hold fast to what is true." Thank you, Dave, for answering the call. My life and the lives of countless others have been touched in ways you could never know.

Dave Hunt had a profound affect on my early years as a Christian. I enjoyed reading multiple times his books. I learned the Christian life can be one of reflection and logical understanding. I am grateful that the Lord used him to broaden my understanding of who God and Jesus is and the issues that challenge us everyday. Peace To Dave. Not even Death can separate us. (Romans:8:38-39

)

I believe the year was 1991 and I was a seminary student studying to earn my MDiv degree with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling. A co-worker had been trying to get me to read a book by these guys by the names of "Dave Hunt," and "T. A. McMahon" but I was too busy and I was not really interested. My co-worker continued to press me and so I picked up a book that would change the course of my life forever. The book was called "The Seduction Of Christianity." I read with passion, and would say to myself, "How could I have not seen this before?" As I read through this book, I continually would pray and ask God to forgive me for being so deceived. I followed that book by reading "Beyond Seduction" and "A Woman Rides The Beast," I ordered tapes and listened to them in the car riding back and forth from school and work. The thought that horrified me was, "How could I have been so deceived" and so God put a fire in me that still is burning brightly to this day. I became a "Truth Seeker,"let the chips fall where they may, whatever the consequences are, I want to know and to follow the Truth. My nine children continually hear me say, "Know what you believe and why you believe it." Phrases like these are so a part of me that I don't even think where they came from....though I do know and I am forever thankful for my teacher, "Dave Hunt." I never met Dave in person, but I continued to read or watch whatever teaching that Dave and The Berean Call would publish. I would eventually leave seminary (A Seminary that taught Higher Criticism) and pursue a life time of studying Apologetics and Its use in evangelism. My kids also hear me say repeatedly, "Faith is not a leap in the dark, we can know and prove the facts upon which our faith rests." Dave has not only impacted my life for eternity but also my children's lives and all those who God has allowed me to witness to over the years. I am a disciple who never met his teacher and I regret that I never took the time to thank him. Until We Meet In Glory, Steven Moller

I was born again over thirty years ago. At that time I read a lot of Bible and of course still do, but I also read a lot in Dave's books. He helped me to understand about the cults and lots more. I had a lot of family members in cults and so I was happy to be able to learn from Dave. I am sad that we have to lose Dave here, but at the same time I am so happy for him to be where he is now. I will want to look him up when I get to heaven too. To his family, I give prayers of comfort. I also want to thank the family for allowing the many hours that must have been spent on research and his books. He helped many, many people. This world has been much lighter for Dave Hunt passing through it. Good Bye Dave, we will miss you! Buffy Register (long time fan)

What a shock it was when I stumbled upon a documentary DVD titled "Megiddo" years ago where one man stood out to me, Brother Dave Hunt. He sat with a worn out Bible, pages falling out, markings all over those tattered pages, and he spoke the words that not only I needed to hear but the world needed to hear. The truth about the evil world around us and the fact that our Bible is the foundation of our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ so we should know it. Upon the Lord leading me to this amazing man, I began to search for a copy of his book "The Seduction of Christianity". No words can describe how this book changed my life. What a wonderful library of his amazing books the Lord gave me, but the most important Book is the one I pick up every day...God's Holy Bible and in that blessed book, I search the Scriptures daily. I'm happy to have gotten to hear Bro. Hunt speak at the Prophecy Watch conference back in 2006. What an amazing man with so much knowledge that he willingly shared. He made the statement after we sang "Some Glad Morning" that he felt the phrase "When I Die" should be changed to "If I Die". This statement is one that those of us left here on this old earth should hold in our hearts as we look for that blessed time when our Lord Jesus Christ comes to retrieve His Body of believers... Thank you, Brother Dave Hunt, for all your written and spoken words that will continue to help the Body of Christ find the strength to live by Acts:17:11.

I didn't know Dave personally, nor had ever met him, but the Berean Call has been a mainstay in my life from its inception, reaffirming my literal-historical-grammatical love for the Scriptures. As a fellow CPA may do, I enjoyed his wonderful analysis of the Word and introduced his ministry to many a friend . Looking forward to sharing our love and mutual camaraderie in the Lord in a day soon to come.

Just wanted to let you know that Dave's teachings cleared a lot of doctrinal questions for me, strenghtened my faith, and helped me to stay Biblically true. He will be greatly missed. I am sure he has heard that most desirous phrase we all want to hear Jesus say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant". See ya there, Dave!

God revealed to me in 1988, at the age of 27, that I was a sinner, destined for an eternity separated from Him. I cried out to Him to save me and asked Jesus Christ to be Lord of my life. The next few years were difficult, trying to turn from a life without God's guidance. I was given a publication in 1992 from Midnight Call Ministries, Arno Froese, and the following year a book by Dave Hunt. Shortly thereafter I started receiving the The Midnight Call and The Berean Call, every month. I am convinced that if it were not for the ministries of these two men, I could possibly be involved in the apostasy that has taken over the church in these last moments of the Church Age. I have prayed for wisdom, discernment, and God's Truth every day, and God has faithfully led me out of denominations that strayed from the Truth of His Word. I include the many others in these two ministries, that may not get the recognition that Arno and Dave have as being my mentors. I owe a debt of gratitude for the commitment that they have made to stand firm in the Faith and boldly proclaim the Truth of God's inerrant Word no matter how fierce the opposition has been. I had the honor of meeting Dave and Tom at a conference a few years back. I am grateful that those of us that have a love of the Truth have been allowed by the Grace of God, to be taught by..."a good minister of Jesus Christ."

I feel such a terrible loss. As though a part of my heart is gone. I loved Dave Hunt as a brother in Christ but only now did I find out how much I love him. His godly living, powerful defense of the Scripture, unabashed love of Jesus, humility, and his warrior quality in this constant battle left an indelible mark on my soul. I prayed every night for Dave, and tonight as our Bible schedule placed us in Acts 17, I received the email that he had passed. Of all the Bible passages to read, what is more appropriate than Acts:17:11? This is not by accident, but to show me God is in control. I've read all of Dave's books, and it seems right to re-read them all again. I will continue to pray for the Berean Call and especially for Tom. For Ruth and the children, my heart goes out to you. For Tom, I weep for your grief. For me? I just weep. God Bless you all, Richard & Ellen Krohn Deltona, Florida

Can't say for sure when I first picked up a Dave Hunt authored book, but I know I was shocked that a man was willing to tell the truth in such plain terms. I have used Dave's books extensively throughout my 34 year ministry and quote from them often. Right now there is a case of "Seeking and Finding God" in my office for use in evangelism. Every time the Berean Call Newsletter comes, I read it from front to back, and never once have I been disappointed. We are poorer and Heaven is richer. There will never be another Dave Hunt, though through his many books he lives and works on.

Our condolences to Dave Hunt's family for he will surely be missed. And thank you for showing us the truth for so many years.

I never got to meet Dave in person but have been well-acquainted with his work and ministry for several years. He and The Berean Call are favorites at my local Calvary Chapel. Apologetics tends to be a challenging and unpopular ministry, but so sorely needed in today's church. Dave was fearless in confronting compromise and in teaching the supremacy and truth of the word of God and contending for the faith. I will always appreciate him and his great impact to my life and so many others. And now, Dave, you are, finally and for all eternity, truly blessed. We will miss you.

Barbara and I began Australia's first 'Counter-Cult' ministry, Mandate Ministries, in 1978. I began to correspond with Dave in 1985 regarding one of his writings, which from memory was, 'Death of a Guru' in Arabic.  In 1986, Dave asked me about coordinating some ministry opportunities for him in Australia. He requested that it would be more of a holiday for Ruth and himself, rather than a ministry trip. He placed no financial obligation upon us at all. In fact, he used his 'Frequent Flyer Points' to enable them to travel here! We were living in Sydney at that time, but I was able to arrange for him to be interviewed live on one of the main 'religious' programs on our ABC National Radio. We convened a one-day conference, 'The First Australian Conference on Deception and Discernment', at which Dave was the keynote speaker. Dave's knowledge and insights, coupled with his teaching ability, has been a blessing to us and many thousands of others in Australia. Please offer our condolences and blessings to Ruth. Fred & Barbara

Beloved in Christ ~ I pray God's comfort and encouragement to all of Dave's loved ones; at the same time I rejoice with you all at the home-going of The Lord's faithful servant, Dave Hunt. I was saved out of the heresy of Roman Catholicism in 1994 at the age of 39. The Lord was faithful in answering my prayer to lead me to discerning ministries that spoke only God's truth and weren't afraid to name the names of those who were deceiving and leading the sheep astray. No surprise that Dave's ministry, The Berean Call, was one of the very first I was led to. I look back over 19 years and say THANK GOD for the faithful ministry of Dave Hunt through his website, emails, written newsletters, books i.e. What Love is This and Judgement Day (which was purposely left in the employee's staff lounge and picked up immediately by a co-worker Praise God), as well as his on line radio teaching ministry and DVD A woman Rides The Beast. Thank you, Dave & family, for your servant hearts in helping to equip the saints and evangelize the lost! I look forward to meeting you in the presence of our Wonderful Lord & Savior Jesus Christ soon and very soon! Maranatha! <><

What can I say? I believe he was an inspired teacher and writer who shared a deep relationship with God, through the Holy Spirit. I met Dave in Rockaway, Oregon at a small conference. He was funny, open, approachable, insightful and challenging. Rejoicing because he's in Heaven!!

I was saved by Jesus in 2003. One of the first great people God used to disciple me through books and such was Dave Hunt. The first book I read was Occult Invasion. I have since picked up almost all of Dave's entire back catalog and read most of it. I had the privilege to talk with him when I met him in 2006 and again in 2007 at prophecy conferences. He was a wonderful and humble man willing to take time out of his busy day to answer questions of mine. He listened and didn't cut me off in my questions and gave thought provoking responses. It was enlightening to see how God could use Dave to show me how I should look the older I get in my walk with God. As Paul said we should only follow him to the extent that he followed Christ, in my lifetime I can say the same about Dave, having read his works and met him. He was a wonderful apologist, conversationalist, teacher, and discernment minister that I can say was truly a blessing to me and I thank God for him and his stances on the Bible and getting Tom McMahon to carry on the Berean Call. My prayers are with the Hunt family and I look forward to seeing my brother in the future.

Dear Berean Call It is with sadness that I read of Mr Hunt's passing. I wish to convey my sympathy to his wife and children but also to Mr McMahon. As I live in South Africa I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Hunt which I would have loved to do. I have read many of his articles and some books (could not buy many due to costs - I have no income of my own). The one thing that always struck me was the passion with which he wrote, the clarity of his writings and how easy it was to read all of it. I have learnt quite a bit (which brought understanding and knowledge) and had quite a few questions answered in the process - questions that ministers/reverends/pastors don't deal with from the pulpit here anymore (they avoid it). You are fortunate to find the few who still do. Mr.Hunt will be missed by many, I am sure, but his writings are still available to read so we haven't lost all of him!! Yours sincerely Irma South Africa

Dave Hunt was an inspiration to my early christian life and remained one of my favorite teachers right up until today. I came to faith in 1986 at the age of 20. I have read many of his books, listened to most of his teaching through tapes, the internet, The Berean Call and also in person when he visited Melbourne, Australia in the mid 2000's. He was a truly humble yet strong teacher, had a vast biblical and general knowledge and yet was so real and approachable. I loved his quiet, "no frills" way of speaking. There were no gimmicks with Mr Hunt, he talked straight and I have seen him weep under such a burden for souls at the pulpit. We have lost a giant in my opinion, but our loss is heaven's gain. He has left a great legacy of teaching material which is still so relevant and will be right up to the end, which is certainly nigh. Dear Mr Hunt, thank you - you are on my list of people I can't wait to meet in the glorious kingdom of our God.

I first came across Dave on the radio. It happened during a time in my life when I felt as if there was no one out there to stand boldly for God's truth. He was such a bright light in this dark world. What he really did for me was to confirm that what the Spirit was accomplishing in me was also being done in other believers. I was not alone. When I detected error, it was edifying to read confirmation in his newsletter. I so appreciated having his research to support my defense of truth. I am thankful to God for Dave Hunt.

We were having dinner with Dave when he was visiting our area, and he was telling about how he came to write the Archon Conspiracy. He was saying that his inspiration came when his dear wife, Ruth, told him that he could never do it... He just had to then. And it was so worth it.. Love that book, along with so many others!

Back in the late 90s I was the executive producer for several national talk radio hosts. I used to call and try to get Dave scheduled for at least an hour, but two if he could spare some sit-down time. Always he was looking at his calendar...I always had to call way in advance...but he always had a story to tell me if I happened to get him on the phone. What a pleasant and kind gentleman he always was, and he always asked, "What do you want to talk about?" With Dave it never mattered, because whatever he had to say we knew the show would be a success. And his books always sold like hotcakes. Berean Call is a newsletter I look forward to every month. I've saved many of them with their valuable information and articles and am thankful I found Dave back in the 90s and ordered the newsletter. We mourn for the loss of a friend and teacher...as we should, and as the Lord taught us..but we also rejoice with heaven in that Dave is home. Think of the banquet he's having. And think about him talking with Paul, King David, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Moses, Joshua, Isaiah and all the rest of our biblical heroes, and seeing the King of Glory...knowing he'll hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." God bless you Dave...we'll miss you...till we meet again!

There is so much to love and remember about Dave! What I love thinking about the most however, is so simple yet so profound. When we were privileged to fellowship with him, in prayer Dave would always, always say "Lord Jesus, we LOVE you!" This, said with tears choking his words. I absolutely loved hearing the humility and awe in Dave's voice when he'd say that - - he'd sometimes challenge us with "have you told the Lord you loved Him today?" So basic. So important. It's been the best memory for me!

It was at a conference at Calvary Chapel of Appleton. Dave kept saying " I love this book, The Bible " I wrote in down in my "Fools Wisdom" Bible, which he said he loved the cover. I asked him to sign it right after his words. He will be greatly missed.

As our youth group teacher at Faith Bible Church in Northridge, CA in 1966, Dave even then captured our attention and our hearts with his clear and direct exhortations - and humor. One quip in a talk on repentance that has survived, and is still repeated by us (now senior) students, was when he held up his hand and pretended we were being dangled over the fiery pit of hell itself - and the only way out was to 'Turn' - or 'Burn'. He may not have coined the term itself, but he sure knew how to make an impression on the delivery!
