Product Description
Product Description
When Christians are confronted by media with a "new" theology, they aren't always sure what to do. It may sound spiritual, almost Christian. But something isn't quite right. Richard Abanes helps believers as well as the curious understand that Eckhart Tolle's message in A New Earth is dangerous. He then provides a clear biblical response to this New Age message. Topics include Tolle's misuse of Scripture, false teachings on God, the Bible's teaching on evil, A New Earth's version of salvation compared to God's plan, and much more.

A New Income Stream: Profiting from Oprah's Success,
By Bhikshu (Vancouver BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Earth, An Old Deception, A: Awakening to the Dangers of Eckhart Tolle's #1 Bestseller (Paperback)
I'm happy to watch Richard Abanes dance on stage as he did so entertainingly for many years, but I'd rather he kept his religious views to himself. I don't question this writer's sincere commitment to flat-earth evangelical christianity, but I find him antediluvian, opportunistic and dull.This book may serve to reinforce the superstitions of today's retro-christians but it is also, not coincidentally, calculated to cash in on the immense popularity of Oprah Winfrey's webcasts with Eckhart Tolle and her advocacy of Tolle's bestselling book, A New Earth. Even the cover design, emulating that of Tolle's book, serves the aim of scoring book sales by writing not a bestseller but a book ABOUT a bestseller. Eckart Tolle, as those who've read him know, is no anti-christian cultist. He refers with deep insight to Jesus' core teachings while ignoring the superstitious twaddle that has pervaded christianity from its very beginnings. By contrast, Richard Abanes offers such solemn nonsense as Joshua's "Choose for yourselves this day who you will serve," arguing presumably that mankind's only hope is blind obedience to a cranky middle-eastern god. Tunnel-vision christian fundamentalists will love this book. The rest of us recognize a sly marketing ploy when we see one.

very deceptive cover,
By blue "blue" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Earth, An Old Deception, A: Awakening to the Dangers of Eckhart Tolle's #1 Bestseller (Paperback)
I don't know the rules about books and their appearances but if I had not read the real a New Earth first, i might have picked this one up instead, for instance if a friend told me "hey I read a cool book called a new earth". I guess the author of this book really must have to trick people to read his book because he has a seriously strong belief. The real A New Earth brings peace and love to some people and I don't see what is wrong with that. Spreading negativity doesn't help the world. I hope the author of this book, "a new earth, an old deception" finds peace in his life.

The perfect example...,
By J u L e S (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Earth, An Old Deception, A: Awakening to the Dangers of Eckhart Tolle's #1 Bestseller (Paperback)
This is actually a brilliant example of ego lashing out from fear of losing control of its subject (as Eckhart would describe). I would not buy this book, but definitely read it at the library (if available) to venture into the depths of what a truly sleeping soul looks like.
