Reasoning from the Scriptures with Jehovah’s Witnesses, by Ron Rhodes

Rhodes’ book has so many good features, I wish I had written it! Each chapter deals with a specific doctrinal issue, beginning with a summary of Watchtower teaching on that topic. It then discusses and refutes the major arguments made by the Watchtower and explains and defends the Christian alternative. The chapter then presents highlighted “Ask…” segments, questions the reader can ask the Witnesses to show them the flaws in the Watchtower’s reasoning.

The 10 Most Important Things You Can Say to a Jehovah’s Witness by Ron Rhodes

This book is doctrinal in focus and, in length, “short on purpose.” Organized into 10 primary points the reader should make to Witnesses, each chapter contrasts Watchtower errors with the biblical position and suggests a relatively small number of questions and points which the reader can present to Witnesses to challenge Watchtower teachings.

Conversations with Jehovah’s Witnesses by Ron Rhodes – Using simulated discussions between Ron Rhodes and Jehovah’s Witnesses, Conversations with Jehovah’s Witnesses demonstrates witnessing techniques in the context of specific doctrinal issues.

Rather than giving thorough explanations of the doctrinal differences, Rhodes refers the reader to his other books for additional information.

Jehovah’s Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse by David A. Reed

Primarily doctrinal, Jehovah’s Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse presents scriptural proof texts in Bible order, contrasting Watchtower interpretations with those of biblical Christianity. This is followed by one five-page chapter with general advice on how to share the gospel with Witnesses. This book is a very helpful resource for readers who find themselves stumped by specific Watchtower proof texts.

Answering Jehovah’s Witnesses Subject by Subject by David A. Reed

Arranged alphabetically, Answering Jehovah’s Witnesses Subject by Subject is easy to use and includes a great deal of information not found in other books. This book was written to was written to complement the author’s 1986 book entitled Jehovah’s Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse. It contains new material in response to new Watchtower arguments, as well as discussing some issues don’t lend themselves well to the earlier verse-by-verse format.

How to Rescue Your Loved One From the Watchtower by David A. Reed

How to Rescue Your Loved One from the Watchtower differs from David Reed’s other books in that its primary focus is not on doctrinal understanding but on witnessing do’s and don’ts. It has one main approach—giving the reader a step-by-step method for showing the Watchtower organization’s unreliability by documenting its changes in teachings on a small number of issues.

Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz

The unique feature of Crisis of Conscience is the inside information that isn’t available from any other source. The author,  nephew of then Watchtower president, Fred Franz, had been a member of the Governing Body until he was disfellowshipped in the early 1980s. This book tells his story. He discloses how he learned of major changes in doctrine and practice that the organization has tried to cover up or minimize. He also reveals the legalism and hypocrisy that he saw within the organization.

Witnesses of Jehovah by Leonard and Marjorie Chretien

Written by a former Jehovah’s Witness elder of 22 years and his wife, Witnesses of Jehovah relates the history of the Watchtower organization, giving an overview of its failed predictions of Armageddon and the end of this system of things. It also relates the authors’ journey out of the Watchtower to salvation in Jesus Christ.

Jehovah’s Witnesses by Robert M. Bowman, Jr.

This book packs a remarkable amount of information into its 83 pages. Its shortness and its outline format makes it far less formidable than, say, Ron Rhodes’ 458-page volume, Reasoning from the Scriptures with the Jehovah’s Witness. Accordingly, it serves as a good introductory guide or compact refresher.

Why You Should Believe in the Trinity by Robert M. Bowman, Jr.

In 1989, the Watchtower published a 32-page brochure entitled, “Should You Believe in the Trinity?” Their answer was no, and they gave their reasons why they believe the Trinity doctrine is false, pagan, and satanic. Robert Bowman, Jr. wrote Why You Should Believe in the Trinity, not as an exhaustive treatise but rather as a Christian response to the assertions made in the Watchtower brochure.

Approaching Jehovah’s Witnesses in Love by Wilbur Lingle

The witnessing method of Approaching Jehovah’s Witnesses in Love centers on asking Witnesses about the workings of the Watchtower organization and the implications of many of its unique teachings rather than showing the reader how to engage them directly on doctrinal issues.

Captives of a Concept by Don Cameron

Cameron says, “The concept that holds Jehovah’s Witnesses captive is their belief that the Watchtower Society is God’s organization.” Captives of a Concept shows you how to document the Watchtower’s history of abandoned teachings and practices to challenge its claim to be “God’s organization.”

Heart to Heart Talks with Jehovah’s Witnesses by Homer Duncan

Heart to Heart Talks with Jehovah’s Witnesses contains refutations of Watchtower teachings that I haven’t found elsewhere. Because it is organized by topics, it is easy to hone in on the subjects in which you are the most interested. The author contrasts the Watchtower and biblical teachings and devotes most of his efforts to defending the traditional Bible interpretations.

Masters of Deception by F.W. Thomas

The paperback version of the book is only 162 pages long, yet Thomas covers a remarkable amount of ground. He is well-versed in Watchtower arguments and proof texts and he is thorough in refuting them. However, he does not give much in the way of advice on how to actually get through to Jehovah’s Witnesses on these topics.

Answering Jehovah’s Witnesses with Questions by Philip DelRe

Based on Jesus’ approach to the Pharisees, Answering Jehovah’s Witnesses with Questions sets out questions to show Witnesses what the Bible really teaches. This is a 35-page booklet rather than a full-length book, so it is designed to be a quick, easy-to-use resource rather than a comprehensive reference.
