Details: This book is a real eye-opener for anyone searching for the truth. The enemy is already in the camp working from WITHIN the church. Starting slowly, deliberately and deceptively through half truths, the truth of God is changed into a lie. We are definitely in the end times as we see this happening all around us and yet many in leadership positions in the church appear to be blinded or are asleep. This truly is the time of the Laodicean church - luke warm. This is the only reason the deceivers can make inroads - so many of God's chosen (or pretenders) are apathetic or sound asleep. This book, if they will read it, can open their eyes to the truth. I recommend sharing this book with others - spread the word. |

Review Summary: tabloid journalism - guilty by association |

Details: I read this book from cover to cover. Being a Fundamentalist Christian who is concerned about heresy in the church, I was interested in what Mr. Yungen had to say about the Emergent Church, emerging Church and Missional thought. I found that this book makes some illogical leaps, starting by documenting ancient Catholic mystics and their questionable practices, comparing them to modern ecumenical and new age heresies and then tying these practices to many current men (and women) of God purely on the basis of "guilt by association". If you read Richard Foster or Henri Nouwen and if you ever quoted them then you are a new age heretic. He draws this conclusion about Beth Moore, Charles Swindoll, Rick Warren, the Awanas organization, Youth Specialties and many others. I believe he is treading on dangerous ground by "touching God's annointed" in a harmful way. My overall opinion of this book is "tabloid journalism" of the worst kind. Find some famous names and discredit them for personal gain. I hope that's not the case but I think he should document each of the named so-called heretic's heresies before slandering them. And, more importantly, follow the scriptural mandate to "go to that brother with his fault and if he doesn't hear you, come back with a few others and if he doesn't hear them bring it before the church." Mr. Yungen is following the greedy worldly method of spread the slander, collect your profits and apologize later (Yet to be seen). I obviously don't know his motives, but he's already slandered and now I'm asking for proof or an apology to the victims. |

Review Summary: Very well researched book |

Details: Seems like most of the books I have been reading lately have all been by authors that will read of few books someone else has written on a subject and then put them all together in their own book, So you just keep getting the same information over and over. It is obvious that this author has actually studied and researched his subjects and offers new information that most people can not see. I have studied the New Age Movement for many years and have read many many books. A Time of Departing gave me a better understanding of several subjects. You will be impressed!! |

Review Summary: The most complete study of the current apostacy in the church |

Details: My husband and I have both read this book, and purchased multiple copies to give to friends. Ray Yungen has succeeded in bringing forth the truth about the current trends in the church and those who are promoting them. Any Christian with discernment will find this book a necessity in these days, for it truly helps the reader make sense of the new terms and trends within the church and the spirit of error within each one. We have referenced it time and again. Lighthouse Trails publishing/Research is truly a light for truth in this world of spiritual deception. Many thanks for publishing this great book for Mr. Yungen. |

Review Summary: The "savage wolves" are here. |

Details: In Acts 20, Paul tells the elders of the church in Ephesus that after he leaves, "savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."
Ray Yungen gives the same warning today! Contemplative practices are in the church. Men have arisen and are distorting the truth...and they have many followers. If you are committed to Biblical, Christ-centered Christianity, you need to understand the history, the process, and the promoters of contemplative prayer. This book is the place to start your own study of this not-so-new New Age practice invading the church. |
