Even though I am a Christian, I do not recommend this book to anyone. It is simply a reach by a Christian woman author to put women "back in their place," as I find most Christian women authors want to do (with the spate of books for women focused on stay-at-home homemakers, which many of us are NOT). She apparently doesn't realize there are similar things happening in Christian churches worldwide--mysticism, name-it-and-claim-it prayer, give-and-it-shall-be-given-to-you prosperity gospel, and preachers taking people for their money and then telling them they have to increase their faith in order to get the money back.

I got as far as the picture of the Kirsten doll from American Girl, dressed in her St. Lucia gown/wreath, and how the caption described this as a toy designed to mislead young girls into a New Age lifestyle, and became so disgusted with the lack of cultural understanding (being of Scandinavian descent) that I had to quit reading it. This book presents Christianity as brain-washing as much as it supposedly presents the New Age as brain-washing.

The reader would be better served buying a book about the New Age by a New Age author and then use their own faith to decide what's truth and what's a lie.

I was given this book by a fundamentalist Christian relative (in hopes of saving me, I'm sure). Just incredible -- I found so many errors in the book, that alone was enough to make me wonder how it ever got published.

Among the items listed that are considered satanic and on the path to hell:

World peace, meditation, yoga, ecology, Tarot, Buddhism, breathing. Ok, I'm kidding about the last one, but it's about that ridiculous! How anyone could take this stuff seriously is way beyond me. Unfortunately, many do and that is getting us into a world of trouble. Literally.

Read this book only if you want a peek into some truly scary "thinking."

I read this book from the library originally and had to buy my own copy because it's JUST THAT FUNNY.

Wanda Marrs is a very mind-wsahed women, I laughed when I read this, the evience is as fickle as her bra.
