Dark Secrets of the New Age: Satan's Plan for a One World Religion Book

This was the first full-length, adult-level book that I ever read from cover to cover. I loved it. It was filled with intriguing and factual information (some of which I knew from my personal study of the new age movement) and was written, for the most part, in a very enjoyable, flowing, connected manner that kept the reader engaged and fully aware of where the author was taking you.

Much of what is found in this book has become a reality. Some of the efforts of the new age movement have not been realized, but the attempt to do so is clearly seen in the history that has unfolded since the publishing of this book in the mid-1980's, thus confirming the author's claims. The mantel was passed in many cases as a number of these people are dead and gone, facing the reality of their wasted lives in rejection of their Maker. But the movement continues on and can now be seen in mainstream religion, including the charismatic and emergent church/contemplative movements among evangelicals.

Sadly, I must add a personal warning. The author, Texe Marrs, was once a trusted King James Bible believing author but has since gone off the deep end into a cesspool of wild conspiracies that mostly blame Jews for everything, or blaming the Jews for forcing non-Jews to do their evil bidding, etc. Reading more recent works by Marrs is like reading David Duke and Aldof Hitler, minus any calls for their violent destruction (at least up to this point).

But if you can find a used copy of this book and would like a good source from the period of the New Age "revival" in the 70's and 80's, this is a very good resource on it's own merits.
