“Friends, it is difficult to imagine a message more contrary to the Bible than The Secret. There is nothing new in it but merely a repetition of the original lie—“You shall be like God.” The fact that so many Christians—and especially young people—have fallen for it is a reminder of the great task before us.”
That’s how Sean McDowell concludes his summary review of The Secret at Christian Worldview Network. This best-selling phenomenon published by Simon & Schuster (book and DVD version) is sadly deceiving many Christians. Sean describes the basic elements of The Secret as: Gnosticism, materialism, self-centeredness, universalism, entitlement, and feel-goodism.
“The book is based on the law of attraction, which is the idea that our thoughts determine reality. In other words, the universe will rearrange itself in response to our thoughts and feelings. And according to the author, the law of attraction works every time, like the law of gravity.”
It is highly recommended by today’s spiritual guru Oprah Winfrey, which ought to be enough to raise a huge red flag to discerning Christians.
