Book Description Featured heavily on Oprah and touted by critics and readers alike, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle is finding a huge following in the culture. Promoting ideas and beliefs that seem godly and good, this bestselling book is wrapping the country in a cocoon of sound spirituality. Or is it? It may sound right--almost Christian, in fact--but something isn't quite right says Richard Abanes, the author of such books as The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code. Equipping Christians with biblical answers and viewpoints, Abanes helps believers--as well as the curious--understand that Eckhart Tolle's message is dangerous. Easy to read, A New Earth, An Old Deception is a concise refutation of the Oprah-promoted bestseller, providing 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.

Sound biblical insight August 17, 2008 Mr. Abanes reminds the christian how imperative it is to know the Word. Protection from the false voices in the world today comes only by understanding what the Word truely states. Mr. Abanes reminds us not to reason with false teaching, but rather challenge it with truth.
One star for this book and one star for Amazon's censorship August 15, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I wrote a respectful and thoughtful (albeit negative) review of this book. It was even rated 1/1 by one user--until Amazon saw fit to delete it. Why is Amazon censoring reviews again? Anyway, I don't feel like re-writing the whole thing but I gave it 1/5 stars. I also give Amazon 1/5 stars for censorship. If you don't like this review, Amazon: please just delete my account entirely. I am not going to waste my time writing reviews if you are going to delete them.
Eckhart Tolle's New Earth an Old Deception July 24, 2008 2 out of 8 found this review helpful
God bless Richard Abanes for taking Tolle to task. In March, Oprah held an online class that included 500,000 people based on Eckhart Tolle's best seller "A New Earth: Awakening Your Life's Purpose". Hardly harmless, his book reached #1 on Amazon, was the fastest selling pick on Barnes and Noble and set a "record shipment in a 4-week span." All proof that what Oprah endorses, sells. That is why this new age theory of his has been embraced. In all fairness, his new earth is the same one other new age thinkers have been talking about since the mid 1800's. The only difference is the colorful wording Tolle uses. I pray Abane's book reaches as many as Oprah's on-line course. It is a vital light dispelling the shadows of misconception Tolle used to darken "the way, the truth and the light." Abane's "A new Earth an Old Deception" should be mandatory reading in churches across America. Each of Tolle's theories are presented to which Abane answers those presumptions with the truth from the Bible. Well written to be informative and concise, this is a must read for anyone confused by or otherwise interested in Tolle's "new earth".
Enlightening! July 24, 2008 2 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book does an excellent job exposing the nonsense that is being espoused by Eckhart Tolle. It is nice when someone takes the time to stand up and point out when the emperor has no clothes. I can hear all the superstitious and pathetic Oprah fans who are hoping that this latest drivel will actually be the real answer to their problems. Sorry, this latest kook of the month has no more substance that all the other flash in the pan Oprah prophets (profits?) I appreciate Richard Abanes taking the time to weed through the baloney. His book has fulfilled a real purpose, and hopefully a few of Tolle's victims will put down their BonBon's long enough to read this revealing expose.
A Tool for Those Answering the Deceptions of the New Age July 24, 2008 3 out of 9 found this review helpful
Richard Abanes has provided Christians with an indispensable tool to navigate the fine line of truth versus deception. The book should be read, digested and incorporated into our thinking, not to argue people into the kingdom, but to be ready for a word in season. This work is foundational in understanding the true gospel when juxtaposed with counterfeits.
