| Résumé : |
• What does the Bible say about reincarnation?
• Should a Christian practice yoga or TM? • Doesn't the Bible tell us to meditate? • How do you share the love of Christ with someone who’s into TM, Hare Krishna, Sun Moon or Buddhism? These questions represent an important new challenge to today’s Christian. With over one million Americans involved in Transcendental Meditation, with one-third of all college students adopting a mystical view of God. the growing influence of eastern mysticism throughout w estern society' is a startling reality'. Unfortunately, many Christians themselves have been deceived by the subtleties of the eastern mindset. Other Christians have wanted to help those caught in the maze of mysticism, but lacked the know ledge or tools to be effective. Pat Means’ new book The Mystical Maze details the explosion of new spiritual counterfeits in this country and challenges Christians to understand the growing interest in eastern influences from a biblical perspective. The Mystical Maze provides practical suggestions on how best to communicate the Christian message to those involved in meditation or my sticism. It includes a complete reference section of eastern mystical terms, groups and research and reveals important new information on Transcendental Meditation. |
