The Secret Revealed: Exposing the Truth About the Law of Attraction Book

Just as "The DaVinci Code" challenged orthodox Christian theology and impacted millions around the world even Christians "The Secret" is now sweeping America with its twisted new "religion." Just as Jim Garlow spoke up with his book "Cracking DaVinci's Code," which exposed Dan Brown's tangle of errors, he is now doing the same in "The Secret - Exposed" which will reveal the truth missing from Rhonda Byne's book.

"The Secret" is touted as a centuries-old principle known throughout history only to those privileged few who came to know great success, but is now being shared with the general public. Garlow and Marschall direct us to other centuries-old principles from the Bible which will instruct Christians on the real secret to success: the Truth of God's love and divine providence.

The authors will reveal what in "The Secret" is real or just smoke and mirrors. They will illuminate the errors and the dangers in these empty promises packaged for the eager consumer. Garlow and Marschall will leave the reader with hope and a rock-solid philosphy upon which they can effectively build their lives.

Garlow (Cracking Da Vinci's Code) and comic and cartoon historian Marschall try their hand at exposing the secrets of Rhonda Byrne's best-selling The Secret. At best, their book is a hastily written reply to an incredibly popular title; at worst, it's a really long sermon. The first half is devoted to name-calling, describing The Secretin turns as dangerous, cynical, absurd, selfish, childish, materialistic, and me-oriented, while the second half tries to convince the reader that the Bible is the only real path to happiness. Some of the authors' arguments are undoubtedly accurate, e.g., the quotes attributed to famous people in the book were not in any way related to the belief system it espouses, while others were never said at all. Where Garlow and Marschall lose steam is in their comparisons between the law of Attraction and Christianity. They argue that because both are faith-based belief systems, you can't subscribe to the law of attraction and be a Christian. Readers may not go for this heavy-handed, only-one-answer approach; certainly, few minds are going to be changed with regard to beliefs. Worth reading as a companion to The Secretto get another perspective. [See also the reviews of Jim Gerard's Who Moved My Secret?and Karen Kelly's The Secret of "The Secret,"p. 87.-Ed.]
