Randall Baer was a "spiritual" man who thought that he'd found the truth in New Age Spirituality. He rose through the ranks of the New Age Movement and became one of its world-renowned leaders. Thankfully for him, the Lord opened Randall's eyes and showed him who was really behind this still-wicked movement that has blinded so many unsuspecting (though sincere) individuals.

There's a lot of "glitter and gold" in the New Age Movement. Randall was blessed to see before it was too late what scripture has told us all along: "...And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

Very shortly after publication of this book, Randall died in a tragic "accident".

I wish that all Christians AND New-Ager's would read this book to be enlightened. Another good one to read is by Sharon Beekmann titled, "Enticed By The Light". It is a very powerful testimony of the delivering power of Christ. Sharon flirted with New Age Spirituality and ended up becoming demon-possessed; thankfully, Christ set her free, and she is now a strong believer in the Lord.

Johanna Michaelson and Warren Smith have similar testimonies. All of these individuals called on the name of the Lord to be delivered from demons; and Christ, faithful to His word, delivered them all (Romans 10:13).

I highly recommend all of their books. Each author was trapped in some form of New Age Spirituality, and were highly deluded by the shining one (the counterfeit) until the Real Deal, Jesus Christ (King of kings and Lord of lords) set them free.

This was an interesting but difficult read to stomach. The theories presented in this book are riddled with contradictions and hypocritical slander. The book itself is outdated in its beliefs and seems to manipulate certain statements to better justify their message. It was interesting (and hilarious) to read how this author perceives how Christians view "New Age" topics and individuals. I'm sorry, but when a book compares abortion to the holocaust and cites acupuncture as the devils work.....I have extreme difficulty taking it seriously.

I’ve read many books on the topic of the New Age (from a Christian perspective), and this is one of (if not THE) best. This book covers it all, and seems like it could have been written recently (when in fact it was written in the 80’s). It’s very relevant. Highly recommended.

Wow, this guy seems like the rock star of crystal power. I am glad he found a renewed faith in God, but I was less than pleased by his angry overtones. Seems liberal is a bad word in his book. I don't much like liberals myself but his negative message really didn't get his 'I love Christ' point across very well. Given the church abuses in recent years, a little soul searching is called for in my opinion. My own personal experience is 'everything in moderation.' This guy sought God with drugs at an early age. It just proves that too much of a good thing can be self-destructive. I do enjoy books that challenge my beliefs and this is definitely one of those. That said, yuck and goodbye. I am not even listing this crap and donating it to my local thrift store where it will probably languish for a year or two before it sells for a nickel. =)

This book was so insightful into the world of New Age Philosophy! If you are open-minded, I challenge you to read this book. If you are in the New Age, a Christian, Atheist or anywhere in between, this book is for you. Even though it’s from the late 1980s, it is so relevant and helpful to understand what is going on today and just how prevalent new age practices are. I enjoyed reading what the author experienced and his thoughts looking back on his time in the New Age.

Chalked full of new age practices and devices, mysterious and bizarre means in which men and women seek to elevate themselves to higher levels. There were times of overload of info, more than practical steps in God's word to recognize and avoid it.
