Product Description
Featured heavily on Oprah and touted by critics and readers alike, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle is finding a huge following in the culture. Promoting ideas and beliefs that seem godly and good, this bestselling book is wrapping the country in a cocoon of sound spirituality. Or is it? It may sound right--almost Christian, in fact--but something isn't quite right says Richard Abanes, the author of such books as The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code. Equipping Christians with biblical answers and viewpoints, Abanes helps believers--as well as the curious--understand that Eckhart Tolle's message is dangerous. Easy to read, A New Earth, An Old Deception is a concise refutation of the Oprah-promoted bestseller, providing a clear biblical response to this new age message. Topics include Tolle's misuse of Scripture, false teachings on God, the Bible's teaching on evil, A New Earth's version of salvation compared to God's plan, and much more.

 it's all about your level of consciousness January 9, 2009
If you are a christian and you want to stay close-minded then you will find this book helpful. Intuitively, u may feel a connection with eckhart tolle's teaching but you have a fear that your beliefs may be shaken, so obviously a book like this will give you what your looking for, which is to comfort your rigid belief structures.
Perhaps people that seem close minded are actually just attached to the authority in which they have placed so much trust. Breaking a view with that authority means reconsidering so many other possibilities. Is that why so many people never consider another perspective? Is being `close-minded' really just a safety net used by the brain as a protection from having to rethink the foundation of all one's beliefs?

This book exposes completely the nonsense that Tolles preaches. Every page tears his teachings apart. It shows him up to be the multi millionaire egotist that seems self osessed on making more and more money from the suffering of others. To be honest though Mr Abanes has probably written too much. Its like he has torn apart Tolles work a hundred times. A few pages convinced me though I needed little convincing as any rational intelligent and spiritual person can see Tolles folly in every book easily. Tolles disciples should read this book but they wont. They prefer to give the money to their leaders empire.

Tolle's worldview is really nothing very new--just new packaging and a mega-boost from Oprah. I wrote about 1000 pages against this perspective--pantheistic monism--in the 1980s and early 1990s. But it is still with us, sadly.
Richard Abanes always does solid biblical analysis of new religious movements and teachers. He explains Tolle's worldview, its contradictions, and its opposition to biblical Christianity. Although I don't write too much in this area any more, I am thankful that Mr. Abanes is carrying on the tradition of unmasking spiritual counterfeits. See 2 Corinthians 11:14; 1 John 4:1-6; Colossians 2:8-9.
The New Age movement needs to be answered September 19, 2008

Nice, short, concise answer to the dangerous New Age philosophy being pushed by Tolle. It is written in a point- counterpoint style, where Abanes quotes Tolle and then gives the Christian response. It's good to know a little bit of what the New Age movement is about so that we can respond if our friends fall into the trap.

Clearly this author is very much on an ego trip. As a follower of Christ for the past 20 years of my life in no way did I find what Eckart wrote in contridiction to my faith. What the book did do is help me understand the bible more. I think Mr. Abanes needs to become a bit more conscious before passing judgement. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want and what makes him think what he wrote is so right? People just make up your own mind about God and why he has you here. It is on the inside of you. Just listen not to the voice in your head but to the small whisper in your soul.
