This was an excellent book! Erwin Lutzer gets right to the point and wastes no time in contrasting Biblical Christian beliefs and what Oprah and Friends, such as Eckhart Tolle (A New Earth), Ronda Byre’s (The Secret), and Marianne Williamson’s (A return to love) promote which is really New Age Spirituality and it is clearly not Christianity or representative of Christian teaching at all. This book makes this very clear.
When these spiritual teacher’s use familiar biblical words, some people may assume the meanings are the same as Christian teaching, but Lutzer warns; “Don’t be fooled because of the uses of words such as Jesus, love, peace, reconciliation and atonement. These biblical words and others like them are given radically new different definitions.” Pastor Lutzer’s apologetic is absolutely outstanding in this book. He points out there are BIG differences, and sadly many sincere people are being deceived into believing a counterfeit gospel. There are very real spiritual dangers in practicing what is promoted by these new age authors, and that is what this book best defines. Recommended reading
