The Real Secret is a free gift

I happened to be home when Oprah hosted 'The Secret' on her show. I am not normally a fan, but the topic intrigued me. Of course, it was too good to be true. Yesterday's Globe and Mail had a "bloggy" article on 'The Secret':

Let me let YOU in on a little secret:

Not only is "The Secret" a new age hoax similar to the "health and wealth" mentality of some whacky TV preachers, ... it's not a secret at all! It's a soft core religion meant to draw in selfish seekers.

A thorough viewing of their website finds areas promoting pantheism, Rosicrucianism, Budhism. Another surprise for me was to find Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul.) as one of their "teachers." I've never been interested in his books as they are a little "soft" for me, but I thought he was a Christian. He seems to hang around Ken Blanchard (One Minute Manager) and even Rick Warren (Saddleback, Purpose Driven Life). So what is up??

The problem with being a Christian author in a secular world is the same one as being a Christian actor in Hollywood. It's very difficult not to sell out. You tend to be more liberal and compromise a little more.

What really aggravates me about 'The Secret' is that they say it doesn't matter what religion you are, the concepts apply and will work for you. It's a very tolerant secret. The founder, Rhonda Byrne, finally had 'The Secret' click when she was given a book entitled, "The Science of Getting Rich."

And that, my blog friends, is what drives 'The Secret.' You have to pay money to watch the DVD. You have to pay money to sign up and purchase their merchandise. You pretty much can't even blow your nose without paying something.

Well, I am here to demystify you by offering you a secret of my own. The Real Secret. And, to top it off, it is completely FREE. That's right! It is a free gift! Not a free gift with purchase, but an absolutely free gift. You can receive this gift a couple of ways.

1. Go to http://www.biblegateway.com

Read "Book of John" 21 short chapters will tell you everything you need to know about The Real Secret! You can even listen to it instead of reading it.

2. http://www.whoisjesus-really.com/

3. Mail me your name and address and $5.00 for shipping and handling, and I will mail you a Bible. It might be used, or it might be a New Testament. It will have the "Book of John" bookmarked.
