Hi Randy - Been hearing more and more about this newest craze. I came across this earlier today and thought it was on target:

Ace, thanks for the link. Stackhouse does a good job of examining "The Secret."

James White takes a good look at The Secret.

Hi, and thank you all for the information you have shared. I checked out Stackhouse's writing on "The Secret", as well as James White's. Well written. I would also like to add the following site to check out, written by Marcia Montenegro, who came out of the New Age movement into Christianity: http://cana.userworld.com/cana_Secret.html . I seem to be the one out, amongst my nonChristian coworkers, but I would say to steer clear of this craze. Of course, my coworkers think I am not 'thinking positively', to say such a thing. But we have joy and comfort and hope in Jesus Christ for which we need no further secret.

Thanks for posting, Julie. I'll check out the link you gave.

Al Mohler has also written about "The Secret" on his blog.

Thanks, Matt. Here's the link. Mohler concludes, "There is no real secret to The Secret. It is just the same old self-worship packaged for a new generation."

He includes a link to an audio talk on the subject, as well as another article.

Randy, you quote Al Mohler as saying "It is just the same old self-worship packaged for a new generation." Are you sure he wasn't referring to the Emerging Church? You know, the old kind of non-Christians?

Matt, I guess that quote applies to a lot of topics. :-)
