Review ot the book "The Secret"

Review ot the book &#34;The Secret&#34; <BR> <BR><a href="http://biblicalspirituality.org/secret.html" target=_top>http://biblicalspirituality.org/secret.html</a> <BR> <BR>Oprah&#39;s show put this book at number one on the best seller list. What&#39;s it all about. Have some Christians adopted it, and missed the TRUE SECRET? <BR> <BR>Excerpt:  <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>You are God in a physical body. You are Spirit in the flesh. You are Eternal Life expressing itself as You. You are a cosmic being. You are all power. You are all wisdom. You are all intelligence. You are perfection. You are magnificence. You are the creator, and you are creating the creation of You on this planet &#40;p. 164&#41;. <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>Then she goes on:  <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>The earth turns on its orbit for You. The oceans ebb and flow for You. The birds sing for You. The sun rises and it sets for You. The stars come out for You. Every beautiful thing you see, every wondrous thing you experience, is all there for You. Take a look around. None of it can exist, without You. No matter who you thought you were, now you know the Truth of Who You Really Are. You are the master of the Universe. You are the heir to the kingdom. You are the perfection of Life. And now you know The Secret &#40;p. 183&#41;.  <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>This particular reviewer that I am getting these excerpts from and give the cyberlink above from, states in her final paragraph of her review:  <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>&#34;The Secret to everything&#34; &#40;to use Byrne&#39;s term&#41; is God Himself. And God, the &#34;Great Secret,&#34; has been revealed in Jesus Christ, &#34;in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge&#34; &#40;Colossians 2:3&#41;. God has freely told us in the Bible everything we need to know about discovering the unlimited &#34;treasures of wisdom and knowledge&#34; found in Christ. And He remains an unknown Secret only to those who will not look for Him there.  <BR> <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>

Re: Review ot the book &#34;The Secret&#34;

Looking to the Bible for knowledge of Jesus who is the fount of all knowledge should have us building up that book rather than tearing it down.
