Book Description

October 23, 2006
With New Age beliefs knocking at virtually every church in the world, The Light That Was Dark is a must-read for Christians and seekers alike.

A riveting testimony of a man who thought the gods of the New Age were leading him towards light and truth until his shocking discovery that the light he was following was actually darkness, a darkness that could destroy his life.

Led down a yellow brick road by pied piper spirits, I had, with the best intentions, landed in a metaphysical New Age where the Christ proclaimed was not the real Christ at all. A well-orchestrated and exquisitely timed series of supernatural synchronistic experiences had convinced me that my involvement in alternative spirituality was meant to be.

Following the signs and wonders of deceptive spirits, I had jumped through my spiritual hoops with almost flawless precision. As Joy and I both had unknowingly plugged into the spirit world, we never realized that most of the voices we were listening to were part of the deception the real Jesus had warned about. --Warren Smith, from The Light That Was Dark

Editorial Reviews

Review

A captivating book ... The conclusion is absolutely riveting. In easy-to-read, laid-back style, Smith recounts his harrowing spiritual journey. --Discernment Ministries - Sarah Leslie - Spring 2005

An amazing story about God's amazing grace. --Ingrid Schlueter, VCY America - CrossTalk Radio Program, 2005

An important book. Authors like Smith provide a clarion call the church would be foolish to ignore. --Tim Challies Book Reviewer - Challies.com - May 2005

The Church is being seduced by the same false teachings that has drawn many people into the New Age Movement. --Cutting Edge Ministries

Warren and Joy's encounter with personal evil convinced them the Bible was the spiritual teaching that they could rely on. --Russ Wise, Author of A Course in Miracles, A Biblical Evaluation

5.0 out of 5 stars A LIFE THAT WAS DARK, April 25, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Light That Was Dark: From the New Age to Amazing Grace (Paperback)
For any persons who are considering involving themselves in New Age "spirituality"-which is really a very old spirituality-and might wonder what that spirituality is like and where it might take them, then Warren Smith's "The Light That Was Dark" is a must read.

For others involved in the pursuit of alternative spirituality and, for whatever the reason, have grown uncomfortable with their participation in it, then they will identify with author's spiritual journey as he shows the way out.

All readers though, will relate to the candor with which Warren reveals his experiences as a participant of the 60s and 70s counter culture. Readers will engage and be entertained by a wide variety of characters and ideas that the author encountered in his personal quest for spiritual meaning, during which time both he and his wife naively connected to what they thought would bring them spiritual power and freedom only to discover the reality of spiritual bondage.

Once the book is engaged, readers will finish the book. As an Ivy League graduate, Warren writes well. I heartily recommend the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a way out of the dark, December 9, 2007
This review is from: The Light That Was Dark: From the New Age to Amazing Grace (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have ever read. A few years ago, I was in a used bookstore in the New Age section and this book was misfiled in that section. I was raised a Christian, but drifted away in my later years. This is the book that opened my eyes to what the New Age really teaches and brought me back to the Bible and Jesus. Thank you Warren Smith for writting this book!....This is the story of Warren who got involved in New Age teachings and found out that there is a dark side to it and then he found his way out. This is an exciting book for Christians and non-Christians alike. I give it 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well-written story of a spiritual journey, January 27, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Light That Was Dark: From the New Age to Amazing Grace (Paperback)
This book is remarkable among spiritual autobiographies for being very well-written and engaging. Mr. Smith manages to demonstrate the problems that can occur from becoming too spiritually "open" without the protection of the Lord, while still showing respect for the friends he made during his "metaphysical" (New Age) days and for their beliefs. It may be hard to believe that in this day and age, people believe in a living intelligence traditionally called the devil, and that that devil seeks our destruction and can appear in our lives, but this book shows one way that it can truly come to pass. Highly recommended.
