Customer Review: The Hypocrisy is Too Rich!
As someone with a functioning brain and critical thinking skills, I have long since thought of the "The Secret" as narcissistic, morally bankrupt and ridiculously inane. How even a ten-year old can believe in the Secret is beyond me. So I enjoyed SOME of the critique presented in this book, but the hypocrisy is laugh out loud hilarious!!!!! Um, let's see, The Secret is hogwash becuase it's not based on facts and scientific evidence, it involves mystical forces, and is supported by a herd mentality. So instead let's believe in a supernatural being and the numerous writings of people who lived thousands of years ago. Yup. So much more logical. Now if only we could Richard Dawkins to dissect THIS book, we'd be finally getting to the real truth. But that's obviously not of interest to these authors.
Customer Review: Requires Study
I think a lot of the negative reviews of "The Secret Revealed" are the result of the very difficult writing. Garlow and Marschall are deep thinkers - highly educated men, and their writing reflects it. Laypersons like me will struggle with many of the concepts in the book (I needed a dictionary!).
I watched the movie a long time ago - before the book came out. I had a lot of issues that I couldn't quite put my finger on - but I knew as I watched that there was something very wrong going on. Prior to "The Secret", I had read many works of the past 120 years and saw the familiar concepts. "The Secret Revealed" will help you identify exactly what's wrong with the "Law of Attraction".
The way I see it, Byrne's "The Secret" makes unfounded claims based on ignorance and half-truths. Byrne capitalizes on our naivet� and uses it to lead people down a dangerous road.
Garlow and Marschall expose these unfounded claims and half-truths, and in doing so, alienate a lot of readers who simply aren't prepared for such an in-depth academic study.
As I struggled to read - and re-read - the chapters of "The Secret Revealed", I was rewarded with insights, understanding and clarity about what's going on in the minds of Byrne and 'law of attraction' disciples.
The greatest reward of being diligent to the end of the book is discovering the real potential of God's creation - that what we are seeking in "The Secret" can be attained through the One true God of the Bible when we begin to view things from a scriptural and eternal perspective. You need to read the whole book to get to this reward - the premises are important for you to appreciate the concept of a God who loves you and has paid the highest price ever for you - and how embracing the 'law of attraction' is turning your back on God.
