Definitely felt this book was a waste of time. Not into any author who pushes religion down peoples' throats. Not everyone on earth is a Christian. I can really understand why used copies of this book are going for only a penny here.
I haven't read the book yet but it was received in tome and condition as promised.
This was a great read, but it spent too much time trying to discount Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret" movie and book, and less time telling the reader why its really God behind the Law of Attraction.The author of this book was left out of the movie by the creators of it, and seems to have a personal grudge, even though he repeats that he does not.If you are a believer in God, you will totally "get" this book, as I did, and you might even enjoy it.
Decided to read this one after the "Secret". In "There Is More To The Secret" looking for balance about half way had enough closed this book and will not pick it up again. Found my answers in the DVD "Secret".
My first reaction to 'The Secret' was mostly positive - the message was a flashier rehash of the philosophy espoused by so many well know self help gurus - Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, M. This book, 'There is More to The Secret' should be read by anyone who has seen the movie. You'll see it when you believe it (also a book title) is a reality. Howwever, after discussing the film's premises with others, comparing it to 'Down The Rabbit Hole', as well as re-viewing the film, I realized that the film and the book needed further tempering. That's another reality not seen in the movie. This audio book should be mandatory for anyone viewing the film or reading the book most especially for younger generations who haven't been exposed to the wisdom gained from life & education.The difference betwween 'The Secret' and the other authors mentioned earlier, has to do with the crass commercialism and greed seemingly espoused by the anthologist - which is a more accurate title for Byrnes. Scott Peck to name a few. It is not a religious tome, but rather an explanation of ancient wisdom that was espoused by many traditions down through the millenia - pagan, Christian & Judaic.
I was horrified by the scene with the child dreaming of & getting a bicycle. I was also offended by Rhonda's assertion that if you don't want to be obese, don't look at someone who is. However, what you want also has be healthy for one's soul. Remember the adage 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.' Simply put, the grass always looks greener when you lawn is properly taken care of.
