Constance Cumbey continues her chronology of the New Age threat in this sequel to the "Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow," and this is hard-hitting. Of particular interest are the chapters on "the plan," "Shirley Maclain," "Pat Robertson," and especially the chapter comparing the New Age with the resurgence of Nazism. Compelling reading, and unfortunately, I haven't found anymore books written by her. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Constance Cumbey (born February 29, 1944) is a lawyer and activist Christian author. This book is a sequel to her earlier book, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow: The New Age Movement and Our Coming Age of Barbarism.

She wrote in the Introduction to this 1985 book, "Since my first book ... was published in 1983, my life has been anything but 'normal.' I probably have 35 feet of unopened mail gracing my office... I will forever be grateful to the unknown benefactor who sent me a voluminous packet on the Club of Rome, Planetary Citizens, and other New Age groups... Then there was a painful matter of the public criticism. I received it from two sources: from the ranks of the New Agers and from some within the Christian community. The first I anticipated. The second I also should have expected, but that did not ease its sting... I also faced the disillusionment of hearing people I formerly admired tell outright falsehoods. Two who are widely respected in the field of cults made frequent statements on their radio programs that they invited me on their programs and I refused the invitations. They had never done so... Seeing (the New Age Movement's) prophetic and historic implications in context makes me realize that we are fortunate to live in a time that all the Old Testament prophets would have loved to see... This sequel to 'The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow' are about about those signs and 'Hidden Dangers' to which we must remain alert."

Here are some additional quotations from the book:

"Earlier publications of New Age groups including the Lucis Trust and the Theosophical Society indicate there may be more than just mere ideological similarities between modern New Age Movement and Nazism. It could well be a continuation of the very same thing and Nazism could very well represent an early failure of 'The Plan.' A 1934 Theosophical publication, 'The Aryan Path' gives strong evidence for this..." (Pg. 85-86)
"After (Ronald J.) Sider and his friends in the Christian media claimed he had been 'misunderstood,' Ron Sider prepared a revised and expanded edition of his InterVarsity published Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger: Revised & Expanded. Theoretically he would have toned down any content that people felt could be construed as 'New Age.' Logically, he should have, because he knew there were those in agreement with my analysis of his work. This did not happen. Instead, the content of his 'revised and expanded' version was unmistakably New Age both as to tone and recommended sources." (Pg. 112)
"There has been absolutely no effort by the 700 Club to acquaint their vast viewing audience with the facts of the New Age Movement... 700 Club personnel have attempted to have programs cancelled exposing the New Age Movement on other Christian networks... (Pat) Robertson's language in The Secret Kingdom is very close to common New Age usage..." (Pg. 168-169)

...you have a coffee table with one leg about an inch shorter than the others. Besides, the Government has probably installed GPS trackers in this book so they can keep tabs on the types of people who would buy this book (which is total tripe)...
