Once more NDW has produced an excellent little book, which indicates directions to take in order to cope with everyday life.

Good book...helps to put The Secret into better perspective. Would have helped to read "Conversations with God" first.

 A formula to make a fortune April 18, 2008
31 out of 51 found this review helpful
Here is the formula for making a fortune on a self-help book:
Pick an audacious title which offends nearly everyone.
Mention early in the book that you are about to impart a secret knowledge which the world's spiritual masters have known for centuries, yet have been unwilling to make public for reasons that you will share later in the book. Don't bother to share those reasons later in the book. In fact, don't impart any secret knowledge, but instead regurgitate positive thinking, new-age concepts that have been popular since the 1970's.
Do absolutely no research, but rest on your laurels as having written a previous book where you claimed that God spoke directly to you.
Borrow profound spiritual sayings from others, and never attribute your source. (Actually, I did see one reference to a source: page 196 he says "according to the writers of Wikepedia." (I kid you not!) Finally, make sure to capitalize at least 3 words on each page to make them "holy", such as "sharing the Gift of Wisdom", "being The Light," and my personal favorite, "God: the Mother of All Stem Cells."
I am a spiritual director, retreat leader, and the Director of Christian Education at a church. I'm open- minded to post-modern and new age thinking, but this book was a complete joke. I'm so glad I checked it out at my library and didn't pay for it. This is robbery!
Just another author looking to cash-in on the Law of Attraction April 16, 2008
10 out of 29 found this review helpful
I'm a devout Christian, and so I bought this book based on the fact that some reviewers said, "Look past the title -- this book very much involves God."
Well, not the God I know. The God I know and love sent His son Jesus Christ to earth as our Savior. This book supposedly answers all of our questions about how we tie God in with the Law of Attraction. Not once is Christ mentioned. "God" in the sense of the book is more described as a universal power or light. For some, this book might be positive and help them out of a slump. But for me, it answers nothing and enlightens nothing. I was put off by the sentence "We don't need God... we don't need God for anything." From the first few chapters I read, the author tries telling us that God gave us the power of the Law of Attraction to use as a tool. I have to wonder, then, why the Bible encourages us to seek God and pray.
Also the book reads as if the author wrote it in a week. Very fast, not much research, hardly any citations or references... I'm just tossing it aside as junk and will donate it to my library. I'm regretting that I spent the money on it.
