I prefer the title of the original book "Deceived on Purpose" as I think it highlights the Biblical suggestion that there are those who are deliberately self-deceived or who choose to ignore/reject the truth for so long that their consciences become seared and they can no longer be objective.

This is a useful book that speaks to the heart of the dangers of the New Age movement and its connection with some big players in evangelicalism including the "Purpose Driven" material and the best selling book "The Shack." The author clearly demonstrates the link between "New Ageism" and a lot of the people and materials that are extremely popular in current Christian circles.

If you are not already aware of these issues, you will be shocked by the roots of some of these things that may seem harmless enough but are clearly not when examined in detail. The enemy is very active and works within the church as well as outside it.

This book is a wake up call to Christians to exercise far greater discernment in their Christian walk and to really study the Bible for themselves to ensure they are not being swept along with the rest of the crowd sadly heading along the comfortable "broad way that leads to destruction."

Why is this issue important? Because so many are being deceived, it cannot just be ignored because it is divisive.

Recommended for those who care about spiritual discernment.

This book is a worthwhile read exposing deception and new age theology in the popular book, "Jesus Calling." A former New Ager himself, the author identifies terms and phrases the "Jesus" of "Jesus Calling" uses that are common in New Age and, even, the Occult. Why would the true Jesus use such terms when they are so common and at the core of what New Agers believe and teach??
